I min mer eller mindre tilfeldige surfing på Facebook, kom jeg over denne saken:

Det er ganske utrolig, men det bekreftet gang på gang hvordan håpløst kunnskapsløse synspunkter på et område korrelerer så godt med håpløst kunnskapsløse synspunkter på andre områder.

Derfor er det ikke overraskende...

1/4” Reel on my Otari Tape-deck, of early demos of Alice In Chains, circa 1988. These demos are from before “Facelift” was released in 1990. . . . #aliceinchains #laynestaley #alicenchains #sleaze #jerrycantrell #mikestarr #seankinney @jerrycantrell @officialseanki...

IT ISN���T EASY sticking to a budget. I get it. Surprise expenses pop up all the time. How can you possibly be expected to live on a strict dollar amount each and every month?

The answer is, you don���t. But the key is to make sure you have enough financial breathing room, so you aren���t living p...

For the past two or three years, industry ‘experts’ have been pushing audiobooks. It’s the fastest growing market segment, they tell us. Although I’m interested in increasing my market share, I’ve been dragging my feet at jumping into the audiobook market. I’m not exactly jumping up and down at t...

Transformation Moments?

What do my second grade teacher and DreamForge magazine have in common?  They both believe that there is power contained in stories.

Last week, I told you about Sister Stephanie, my first grade teacher.  My second grade teacher had just as great an impact, alth...

Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, started at the Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana, the Artsy Reader Girl! I rarely do these posts anymore simply because I don’t have the time, but topics like these are so close to my heart, I can’t not. (Plus, they don’t require me to write any explanation,...

Questa autrice mi era stata fortemente raccomandata dalla mia amica Azzurra, che mi aveva consigliato di leggerla da tempo. Ti piacerà, aveva detto, ma io ho tentennato e ho tenuto i suoi libri a lungo sul comodino, perchè non sempre sono in
vena di un fantasy e non sempre di un fantasy che prend...

The measles outbreak in Washington keeps getting more distressing. Currently, there is a small selection of doctors willing to give exemptions to parents just because. I believe these doctors should be punished, because they are risking a lot of lives. There are currently 325 million people in th...

La viñeta de hoy en El Periódico era tan mala que he intentado mejorarla tres veces. La versión de aquí arriba es la original, lo juro, yo todavía no he editado nada.

Esta de aquí abajo es igual pero con otra propuesta de texto:

So here we are, back at the beginning. 10 years ago I started writing fiction again after a 20 year hiatus. I write Sc-fi-fantasy adventures, in a specific universe with quantum concepts, ancient creatures and humankind spread across time and space. After writing 7 books (yes!), 15 short stories...

I’ve been going to a Tai Chi class for a few weeks now. One of the ideas my teacher reminds us of every lesson, is the principle of giving about sixty percent. Don’t go for the maximum you can do. Don’t push your body. Don’t over-extend or try too hard. Just relax, and do about two thirds of what...

For those of you who don’t know, I write both fiction and text books. These involve very different writing styles.

Creative writing involves metaphors, similes, double entendres, sub-text, hyperbole, synecdoche, litotes, aporia, aposiopesis, intertextuality and so on. Readers often enjoy discoveri...

The Wine Fight is held on the morning of the 29th of June each year in the historical heart of Rioja just outside the town of Haro (pronounced Aro), and is an exuberant, liberating and totally awesome experience.

Unlike the Running of the

The prompt for this week’s blog experience is What to read to learn about X. A little vague but I’m gonna take it to mean something to do with how we, as writers, do research. ( Fingers crossed I’m correct about this!)

If you’re a follower of mine you know that I approach everythin...

Yay!  Another twitter rant!

Yay! Another plagiarism scandal!

This time, the ‘author’ claims that she worked with a ‘ghost writing’ partner she hired on Fiverr.

I’m calling bullshit! First…well, Fiverr is a TERRIBLE place to hire a professional GW. I say that *AS* a GW. I’ve been doing that on the...

A few weeks ago, on his podcast, Sam Harris interviewed the actor and comedian Stephen Fry. Early in the episode, the conversation took a long detour into the topic of mindfulness meditation.

Harris, of course, is a longtime proponent of this practice. He discusses it at length...

Once in a blue moon ��� or really it's so infrequent it's more like a plaid one ��� I like to swing the spotlight away from myself here and do a Q&A. This seemed like a good time for it because I already had some Q's lined up for my partner in an exciting new venture: John McLain, narrator of...

Happy Wednesday everybody! I just thought I would share a couple of short video projects I worked on recently. I partnered up with two local Nashville businesses to create quick-hit promo videos for them so people can see what they’re all about.

First up is Gift Horse, a quir...

Friends! I’m excited to share that the audiobook for Fighting for What’s His is now available – and like the first book in the Warrior Fight Club series, Billy and Shayna’s sexy, funny, and emotional roommates-to-lovers story is narrated by the amazing Andi Arndt! So you need this! Here’s everyth...
