[Spotlight Post] A Follow Spot Post of Several People
It’s a Spotlight Friday… and this has been a strange week, so I think I’m going to do a “shotgun†spotlight post and do shout outs to a several people – most of whom have been in a spotlight before but have my attention at the moment. Congratulations to Rachel Caine for the successful completion […]
[Spotlight Post] Rosemary Clement-Moore
I’ve written about Rosemary Clement-Moore, or at least about one of her books. She deserves a revisit -as an all-around writer instead of a project specific thing. So, today, we take another look at Rosemary. Though MAYBE I should have waited since, according to Amazon, she has an omnibus of a couple of the Maggie […]
[Writer Blog] Part 2 – ApolloCon 2012
Now… On to ApolloCon…it was this past weekend. Many of us were doing back-to-back conventions from differing parts of the country, but I think we managed to keep our energy up and going.

[Writer Blog] Series Books vs. Sequence Books

[Writer Blog] – Guilty Pleasures
Guilty Pleasures. We all have them. Mine are musicals: SCRUBS: MY MUSICAL, DR.

Most of those I can probably get a “what’s so guilty about THOSE? Those shows ROCK!” […]
[Writing Post] Snow Days, The Splendor Falls, and Random Productivity
It’s SuperBowl® Week here in North Texas. In fact, we live about 2 miles from the Stadium. We planned to hibernate this week anyway to keep out of the crazy traffic and events. Then the weather hit. My Day Job Company has actually shut down for two days. My husband is “Essential Personnel” for his […]
