I am Canadian. Yup, that is a fact. I am a Canadian girl, born and bred. However, The Feather Trilogy takes place at Mulbridge University which is just outside the city of Chicago. Why? Why would a Canadian girl write a book in a country she has never lived in? I don't know to be honest. This is... Read more of this blog post »

Any of your ladies out there who’ve never had a moment’s worry about your body shape, raise your hands now.
Thought so. Not a mitt in sight.

ARTICLE VIA LITREACTOR | COLUMN BYRICHARD THOMAS

In my opinion, two of the hardest genres to write are horror and comedy. Why? Because both are so subjective. What might make one person laugh will leave another unaffected, and what will scare the hell out of one person will leave another bored. So...

Sometimes being a word person sucks. I don't have the words when face to face with a person I don't know well. In a social setting I'm a blithering idiot. I know this about myself.

You don’t have to travel to the far reaches of the galaxy to find weird caterpillar kingdoms. You could just take a bike ride.

PRAGUE (CNS) -- A drooling bum sleeping on a Prague tram was assaulted by a self-styled guardian of public morals – and ordered to get off the mass-transit vehicle!

The attacker, who appeared to be in his mid-30s, boarded the nearly empty 24 tram car around 11:15 p.m. at Bílá labuť.

The Who finales are always epic, but this one remains my favorite. It’s legitimately hide-behind-the-couch scary, equally funny, puts Our Guy and Our Girl front and center and throws a nightmare of Big Bads at them, and the pay-off at the end is searing and satisfying and right, tragic an...

As we move into the months where book sales are traditionally slow, I’ve been hearing self-published writers express the feeling that they feel “lost in a tide of crap” and “it’s so much harder to gain traction now than it was two years ago” and “you might be better off with a traditional publish...
