[Spotlight Post] Lois McMaster Bujold and the Vorkosigan Saga
The first spotlight post of 2013… and as with the Writing Blog – I’m open for suggestions on who to feature here. If you have someone you’d like to see, feel free to send suggestions. I did mention in the Writer Post that I took Monday “off” and read a book for “fun”. It was […]
[Writer Post] The First Post of 2013
It’s the first Writer post of 2013. I suppose I should say something profound…or at least SOMETHING. To many the first of the year is a recovery time (especially today the 2nd) from the holidays. To others it’s a time to hit the ground running. I fall somewhere in between – today I’m at a […]
[Spotlight Post] Yard Dog Press
Today is Friday. It’s a Spotlight Day. And actually, I’m going to make it a whole Publishing House. There are four days in which to order to have delivery of anything by Christmas. And though this is kinda of last minute — if you’re looking for books for someone who likes science fiction but don’t […]

One that only concerns us peripherally – in the terms of jokes and cautious optimism. One that can directly impact all authors on a fundamental […]

Mention it briefly on Facebook and have it bloom Yeah…that happened yesterday. You see, I had this idea for converting […]
[Writer Post] Crowdsourcing a New Title for Novel
On Easter Sunday, I had the impromptu opportunity to converse and have a writing session with the beautiful and talented, Rachel Caine. I happened to be between a rehearsal and an Easter Service. She was on deadline. Starbucks was the common–and necessary–element to this crazy, random, happenstance. And now, this post is a recommendation on […]
[Spotlight Post] New Friday Spotlight Posts
Now that the archives are caught up to what’s on the website, I had to come up with an idea for Friday posts. The thought I had this week is a “Spotlight” section. For now, it’s not guest bloggers or interviews – it’s just who/what I’m reading, seeing, being inspired by at the time. I’d […]
