Inger Margaret Foster's blog:
It is not an easy task, the marketing of one's novels. And while I wish I were instead spending the hours completing Elke's Magic. that will just have to wait. It is far more important now to focus on getting the other two novels out there and into people's hands.

Trying to get notices run about Mardi Gras in Kodachrome appearances while Mardi Gras is still a big deal in NE Ohio (which is just a week or so). Hopefully will have turnout.
Carl Alves's blog:
The Fireman is a post-apocalyptic novel, where the culprit is a spore called Dragonscale (a bit of a Game of Thrones ripoff for the name although the disease is far different). Dragonscale causes those who carry it to light on fire under stressful conditions and propogates itself by transferring...

Being as I have certain backgrounds, interests, and experiences, I want to write this blog as a service to my Goodreads friends. There will probably be a lot of information here so I may stretch this out over several blogs.

I was in the old Aiken Wal-Mart this morning, getting a few things for Daddy. My credit card won't work. Funny, I had just used it to buy us breakfast. (Used it afterward to buy gas, too, with no issues, but...) The transaction is $16 and change. My purse was in the car. Before trying the card on...

In Plato’s Phaedo, the philosophic entourage come to see off Socrates surprisingly encounter the gadfly writing fables. These allegorical morals, however, have no authoritative basis on which they may stand, since they lack a source other than Socrates. Socrates cannot be the source of definitive...

Hi, Friends!
There's something special about a military hero, don't you agree? All of that alpha protector instinct and a lot of deadly skills, combined with a world-weary hardness that comes from time spent fighting in a war. Gabriel Noble, the hero of my new release RUN TO YOU is all that and mo... Read more of this blog post »

Wrote some at the pub, just typed it out. Over 200 words... so that's something! I think that was 200 good words too, good stuff. Surprisingly good considering I was half-cut.

Dear Ms. Whitman,
I ran across something in one of my old travel journals yesterday, and it made me think of “The Store.”
I was not yet a published writer when I backpacked through Europe for the second time in 1986. I ran out of money in Paris (which puts me in good company, I suspect), and slept... Read more of this blog post »

Allison Symes's blog:
I'm glad to see the return of short stories and the development of flash fiction for many reasons. One of these is that I write both so I won't pretend to be unbiased here. But the major reason for loving this development is it expands the kind of reading available.

It's that time again. Charles French is having the "February Promote Your Book Party"--a monthly feature he does on his Reading and Writing blog. It's a very generous offer he makes on behalf of other emerging writers like himself, partly because he knows how difficult it is for independent autho...

In the days, weeks and months leading up to the release of my debut novel, SENSELESS ADVENTURES WITH DAKOTA J., so many emotions have surfaced.

Tony slammed his fist down on the solid cherry wood desk. Two days. Two days. The words seem to flow like a mantra from his lips. He only had two days to find a woman, plan a wedding and get married. He wondered how the hell he had just gotten himself in this mess.

Hiya,
I've finally started work after a couple of months that felt a very lot as if my brain had packed its bags and left the building. Quite possibly not what I should be working on, as it seems to have returned with caveats.

I feel as if I am playing hide and seek with a dragon again, but at least a Copy Editing Dragon won’t take up residence the way my Deadline Dragons always do.

It's all well and good to set yourself goals for what you'd like to accomplish over the weekend, being writing or stuff for grad school. And then, you have to accept that you will watch those goals flutter away quite frequently, especially when Mother Nature won't play nice.

There are lots of reasons why people read Fantasy. One reason, popularly attributed, is to escape from reality.

Interview with Tana French
Dublin crime novelist Tana French has the kind of critical reviews that other writers would…well, die for. Her debut murder mystery,
In the Woods
, won rave reviews and multiple literary prizes upon its release in 2007. Since then, her books have tended to haunt the bestseller lists, on both sides of the pond, and for months at a time. British newspaper The Independent has dubbed French "The First Lady of Irish Crime," and The Washington Post says she is the most important crime novelist to emerge in the past ten years. ...more
