This awards season has been crazy. The Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards have come and gone, SAG and Indie Spirit nominations are out, and there’s still no clear frontrunner in any category. If you’re the type of person who follows these things, chances are you feel like I do – totally unsu...

Well, it’s that time again where I realise I’ve neglected my blog and decide to update anyone curious on my current writing projects. Only 2 months between posts though this time, so I’ll consider that some growth or at least some form of minor victory.

Right now as I did through 2018, I’m  focuss...

An important follow-up:

The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception has confirmed that protesters led by the Native American activist Nathan Phillips attempted to disrupt the celebration of Mass on the evening of Jan. 19.

On Jan. 23, a spokesperson for the Washington, DC ba...

Seventy years have passed since Elysion was created, and Persephone’s efforts to conceive a child with Hades have been in vain.  But a secret rite on Samothrace might bend the Fates and give them all that they have ever dreamed of, or pave a path of untold suffering.

Thesprotia was wa...

Lets all be honest, we have our “one-click” authors that if  we see their name, we click the buy/borrow/read button.

Lets also be honest that we often are waiting for our favorite authors and wish we had a few more we could read that had the same appeal.

Well here is your chance t...

Hi, everyone!

It’s been a while since I’ve done anything with this series, and I do apologize for the delay. I’ve been so swamped with other projects that I haven’t gotten to dedicate as much time as I have wanted.

For those of you who don’t know, the series has undergone a major rewrite over the...

Cuando en Penguin Random House me confirmaron que querían publicar el libro que llevaba escribiendo dos décadas, tuve una idea muy clara: la edición en papel tenía que ser muy atractiva visualmente, no solo en las portadas (magistralmente ilustradas por Vero Navarro), sino también en el interior....

We get a lot of questions from readers about whether we’d like to write more Linesman books.

We often refer them to an old post we wrote when we were starting to write Stars Uncharted which talks about some of the stories we’d like to cover in that universe.

If you’re interested, and haven’t read...

Hoy he tenido mi primera clase de periodismo, lo que me ha hecho sentir un 40% Rory Gilmore, un 40% la Andrea de dieciocho años (cuya mayor ambición era convertirse en corresponsal de guerra) y un 20% una patata somnolienta (porque me había quedado hasta tarde viendo episodios de Yu...

It must be true what is said about wisdom coming with age. I too have my moments. As the years have progressed, I’ve realized that it no longer matters to me whether my opinion is greater than someone else’s or whether I remember something better than someone. I am fine with letting it go. One th...

The woman in the checkout aisle is small, white-haired. Her cart is full, mounding with Gatorade, Cheetos, and ice cream sandwiches.

I love ice cream sandwiches.

She is bent at the waist, her joints are as thin as number-two pencils. She is struggling to push her cart.

I offer to unload her buggy. S...

Heuglijk nieuws! Mijn Creatorium kreeg een kast! Nu ja, ze is nog niet helemaal af (net als de rest van de ruimte, check die onafgewerkte wanden bijvoorbeeld!), maar wel al zo’n 80% en dat maakt dat ik eindelijk plaats heb voor mijn creatieve rommel. Al mijn stoffen, fournituren, de hele voorraad...

[image error]It all came down to me.

The one who followed the rules, never went looking for trouble – I kept to myself. I just wanted to take care of my family. To not constantly look over my shoulder, worried about the things that went bump in the night.

I just wanted to survive.

But that wasn’t...

As a writer of science fiction and fantasy, I must create a ton of world details that never get used. To figure out which bits stay and go, I use what I call my midichlorians and Mordor rules.

A week ago, I had no idea who Marie Kondo was.  Then, after rushing past yet one more article about her now-viral KonMari Method of decluttering a home, I slowed and took a closer look.

Marie Kondo is a professional tidier-upper.  The star of several books, a ton o...

“Libraries were full of ideas ― perhaps the most dangerous and powerful of all weapons.”

Tamara dishes about her new novel, Brimstone, plus lots of other things. David Kemph asked some great questions.

Back when the Twelve Dancing Princesses book was released I had so much fun discussing other retellings of the fairy tale with you, Champions, I decided to make it a tradition! I assumed Snow White was a more popular and well known retelling (thanks Disney!) but it wasn’t until I asked you Champ...

Here we go, my usual post wondering if I’ll remember how to blog again after drafting ahead for a good while and not having to pay any attention to this on a daily basis. For example, I finished up all this on the first of January and won’t have to draft posts again January 23rd. Three weeks. I a...

Professional Book Editor: Having your novel, short story or nonfiction manuscript proofread or edited before submitting it can prove invaluable. In an economic climate where you face heavy competition, your writing needs a second eye to give you the edge. I can provide that second eye.
