Spin: A Review
This month, one of the novels I’ve read is the science fiction novel, Spin by Robert Charles Wilson. I loved the beginning. The opening idea of the stars going out from the point of view of young adults/teens who had Read More…
Book Cover Throwback: Weyrworld
This week’s Book Cover Throwback is from Anne McCaffrey. There’s something about an old school book cover that just makes me sing. One of my favorite hobbies as a child was crawling through the oldest parts of libraries and finding Read More…
Medieval Torture Devices & Bosses
(This is currently posting while I’m away at the last day of PAX Prime. Hopefully I’m having loads of fun and NOT being tortured! Enjoy!) Most people will gladly tell you just how much their Monday’s suck. Some might even Read More…

The last four days I spent at the PNWA Writers’ Conference, where my friend and critique group member, Gayle Clemans, had 6 different agents ask for her manuscript (which in the publishing world, is awesome). Between the ‘too busy to Read More…
Flashback Friday: The Lorax
While you read this, I’m currently at the PNWA Conference, which I hope is a good one! So while I’m working, enjoy today’s Flashback Friday with a twist. 😉 A writing friend of mine asked on Facebook the other day, Read More…
Deadlines & the Waiting Game
There is nothing better than a deadline to spur a writer into a mad panicked dash towards the finish line. One deadline approaches–like a stampede of buffalo–and as such, I can’t tell which will happen first: my heart leaping out Read More…
