Taking a Brief Break for a Warning…
If you’re a writer – especially of novels – be aware of this site Redneckghettotech. This thief has put up entire libraries of novels by SF authors for free download. He’s done it WITHOUT PERMISSION, without payment to the writers, and has some seriously violated all kinds of copyright law. SFWA and other interested parties [...]
Queen of the Semi-Pros
I just posted an opinion piece on StrangeWords about the fact I’m actually considered – in the terms of some professional organizations – a “Semi-Pro” author.
