Mother Goose & Grimm’s Take on the State of Publishing
I *so* had to share this!!!!!
Oh, and the Other Thing…
I got my first “Major League” novel rejection today. As in, one of the Big Six publishers. I have to say (and not just because I’m going to have the opportunity to meet Anne Sowards in a couple of weeks), ACE/ROC has the nicest, politest form rejection emails ever. And they had a very quick [...]

Book Review – Dinosaur Park by Hayford Pierce
My apologies to John Betancourt at Wildside Press. I should have had this review done a very long time ago. My reading time has been very limited, which isn’t an excuse, but the reason. I don’t like being late on commitments, but every so often I live up to my Scottish clan motto: “Late but [...]
Now THAT’S What I Call A Weekend
No offense to my Scarborough friends, but finally a weekend!!! (And they had two months of rehearsals on top of the eight weeks of run.)

The Other Coast and Cautious Optimism
Wow. Cartoonists can really put publishing and writing into perspective sometimes. For realistic writers out there – and those who love us – this isn’t beverage safe… On the “Cautiously Optimistic” front – still haven’t heard about job, but one of my submitted projects has made it past “Query Letter” stage to “Go Ahead and [...]
WIP – Warts and All (2)
Okay, so since one person asked for more… Here, have a little more. The croak followed by a crash, as he stumbled to his door and slammed it against its stops. The “Help!” also came out as a weird, almost unrecognizable and barely audible ribbity rumble. “Christoph! Dear, breakfast!” The prince’s mother, Queen Linnea, swept [...]
NOW It Can Be Told…Withersin Sale
I’ve known for a while, but haven’t said much until contracts came. I just signed contracts for the sale of my story, “Queer Eye for the Dead Guy” to Withersin. It won’t be out until the Fall of 2010 – Withersin but out a note in their email: Commencing after the release of Volume 3: [...]
The Almighty E-Book (Okay, short story) Experiment.
Okay, so here it is. The experiment. The Download Experiment. The Pen is Mightier – Rhonda Eudaly This is a murder mystery (non-science fiction) that I had published in the Written Word. I’m seeing if the download thing works. NOTE: EDITED: SO FAR… STILL TWEAKING… BEAR WITH ME…
