Tired of Pam having all the fun? Ready to find out her deepest, darkest, most sinister secrets?

Belly up to the bar, folks-- that's what's being served up Wednesday at 11 a.m. ET, in a Very Special Episode of on Authors On The Air.

Joining Pam is Earl Merkel, author of the just-released FIRE OF THE PROPHET thriller and well-known sadist, as well as host of the debuting-on-June-2 show titled "The Book, With Earl Merkel."

Elle’s first self-published romantic comedy, The Frog Prince, became an Amazon bestseller in December 2010–a distinction it kept through the summer of 2012, when it peaked at #1 on Amazon’s Top 100 List .

In February 2012, Elle was named to Expert Messaging Group’s “25 Self-Published Authors to Watch.” She is considered a “reluctant expert” on the topic of self-publishing and consumer purchasing psychology, and she is well-known for taking advantage of her full creative control by pushing the envelope–and advising other self-published authors to do the same.

In March of 2012, Elle published an alternate ending version of her contemporary romance Sleeping Beauty called Sleeping Beauty Wakes Up! in response to fan feedback. Both books would go on to be named to Kindles & Wine “Best Reads of 2012.” T

In April 2012, Elle was invited to blog for Digital Book World’s Expert Publishing Blog, an industry blog with 20,000 subscribers. She almost immediately created a firestorm of controversy by suggesting that authors should respond to negative reader reviews. That blog was named to the Top 10 Digital Publishing Stories of 2012.

Please join your host Pam Stack when she welcomes author Kate Collins to the studio.  Kate's newest book "Mark of the Successor" launches today and we'll be chatting about it.  We'll also be discussing her first book "Daughter of Hauk".  Join the party and be in the running to win some nice gifts!

Brett's advice to aspiring writers? Most important, WRITE: Writers write. Simple as that. Write a little everyday if that's all you can manage. It may be crap, but so what? Athletes practice all the time, improving with each drill. It's the same thing with writing. You can't get better unless you write
