[Writer Post] Updatery
It’s Wednesday. I’m about to have a bunch of people over for dinner. So, here we go… some semblance of a blog post. Let’s go with “Updatery…” My book is out – at least in electronic form. The print copy is coming, and now I have the cover up on Amazon. I know of TWO […]
[Spotlight Post] Judy Crider – In Memoriam
I’m going to round out this Thanksgiving Week with a sad note. As lovely as Thanksgiving was – we celebrated with family at our house (as has been the case since Jimmy and I were married) – it did end with some bad news – the passing of a friend. I’d like to tell you […]
[Spotlight] Rayguns Over Texas, Rick Klaw, and Conventions
Okay, so today is a Spotlight post day. And I’m struggling – again – it’s not that there aren’t a TON of worthy people to showcase, or that I’ve even run through all my friends/colleagues/professional acquaintances.

This is the last writer post of 2012. Did I do everything I intended to this year? Yes and no. I did “Finish stuff darn itâ€, but there’s always a sense of being able to do “moreâ€. It’s the Curse of the Coulda, Shoulda, Wouldas – and it’s deadly. As I write this, I just […]
[Spotlight Post] Joe R. Lansdale

[Spotlight Post] Kasey Lansdale – Musican, Actor, Editor, and More
This week’s spotlight, Kasey Lansdale…one of the hardest working, most versatile young women I know. But that’s because her mom and dad raised her to be enterprising. For those of you who are horror readers (or fans of “Texas Weird”) and having been around the SF convention circuit, you’ve seen Kasey. She’s Joe R. Lansdale’s […]
[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 […]
