So sanity disclaimer aside (and possibly Internal Conflict Day Blamed--will get back to you on that), please join me in welcoming Jo Davis and her book Domestics to the Tart stop on her blog book tour!
Character Reflection
Domestics chronicles a woman’s struggle from someone who let’s things happen to someone who makes things happen. Sarah becomes an assassin for hire, doing away with men who are eerily similar to the man who victimized her. In this way, she is repeatedly getting her revenge, taking back her life. But, Sarah tends to go a little overboard and, well, it doesn’t end well.
They say that each writer puts a little of themselves into their characters. I guess Sarah does have a little of me in her. I took charge of my writing career. After years of waiting for the big break to happen to me. I’ve struck out with my books, on the Domestic Seduction Tour with Omegia Keeys , with the Authors Supporting Authors Virtual Tour and numerous guest blogs, interviews and appearances. In this way, I am taking back my career. But, just like Sarah, I tend to go a little overboard. (Maybe the almost daily Facebook updates about this book tour are a little much.)
To all of you writers out there, can you find the little piece of yourself in your characters? It doesn’t have to be a main character like Sarah. Just pick one of them. You may be surprised at what you find out about yourself, and how much “you” that is invested into your own writing.
Domestics is available where books are sold online. Pick up a copy signed by the author at www.bylinesbyjo.com.

Hi, Jo! What an interesting premise. I have to say that my biggest problem in writing lately is when I have too MUCH of myself in a story and have to weed me out. Hee.
I agree- it IS an interesting premise! And I like the idea that, while it is appealing in theory, it doesn't really work out for her (assassinations being something a girl should probably never get too comfortable with)--I like life lesson books, and it sounds like there is one.
Interesting plot and the fact that it ends badly grabs your attention.

I think it's always a good idea to take charge of our career...no one cares as much about it as we do. :)
Best wishes with your tour and book!

Mystery Writing is Murder
Great premise! I'm totally intrigued.
No matter how much I try to avoid it, I can definitely find a bit of me in my characters. In particular, the crazy ones! Good luck with everything!
Thanks everyone for stopping in! Talli, you made me snort coffee--always good if we can identify with the crazy ones!
I usually assume I'm not in my characters, then friends read my manuscripts and tell me I'm more like this one or that one than I realize. It's a subconscious process, I guess.
