[Pen/Pencil Review] Rerun – The Leuchtturm 1917 Notebook
I apologize for the rerun – but this is a transition week into a new job and had some Real Life stuff raise its inevitable head. So, I’m going to rerun this review because after a year (mostly because I used it for a lot of writing samples), the notebook is nearly full – I […]
[Writing Post] Adaptations are NOT as Easy as You Think
Last week was a major milestone for an author I know and admire – her Young Adult novel series became a web series on Geek and Sundry. Yes, I’m referring to Rachel Caine and the Morganville series. Jimmy and I were backers of her Kickstarter campaign to get this done, and I’m so thrilled for […]
[Writer Post] Book News and FenCon
Hello, Blog, I told you I’d be back. Did you miss me? FenCon was a whirlwind, exhausting BLAST. I had really great guests of honor to work with – which is good because I was breaking in a staff (and didn’t break THEM). Now to train one of them over the next year to take […]
[Writing Post] Which is More Pro – Small Press or Self-Pub
Welcome to Wednesday – and the week (ish) before FenCon, which means an excessive amount of headless chicken running and maniacal laughter.

[Spotlight Post] Joan Rivers & Throne and Bones by Lou Anders
I mentioned on Friday that I would blog about a book and an author. I am going to do that, but I also have to mention a passing first. So a moment of respect for Joan Rivers. Yesterday we all heard the news of Joan Rivers’ passing. She was 81. She has always been part […]
[Spotlight Post] J Kathleen Cheney & The Seat of Magic
This week’s spotlight post is on J.Kathleen Cheney’s second book – Seat of Magic. I mentioned when I wrote about her before that I tend to hesitate reading people I’m friends with, but she was worth the read. Her first book in this series, The Golden City intrigued me.

[Writing Post] Technology Update
For those not on Facebook… there’s an update to the last post already. Office Depot saw my posts on Twitter and sent me their social media/customer service email. So I shot them the link to the blog post this morning with some added context. Within the hour, an “Executive Customer Service” rep sent me an […]
[Writer Post] Dealing with Technology
Welcome to Wednesday and Writer Blog day. In some ways it’s been a much better week, in other ways, meh. This week is “Technology Hates Rhonda” Week – watch for all the specials on all the “Cool Kid Cable Networks”. FORTUNATELY, it’s still in “annoying” stages and not “Financial Gibbs Slap” stages. I’m very excited […]
