Rooftop
I needed to enter the club as covertly as possible so I climbed up a ladder attached to the back of the building. The Corvette was parked on a side street close enough for me to make a fast getaway if necessary. At the top of the ladder I stepped on to the roof and looked for some type of vent or...

Why I write.
Every now and then it hits me between the eyes like the hoof of an irate donkey - why do I bother writing?
Why do I spend all my free time punching keys on my laptop, dreaming when I should be sleeping, and editing when I could be drinking wine?
There are days when I simply want to sit in the corn... Read more of this blog post »

Take the leap
"Somebody once told me that the world was going to roll me, I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed"-- Smashmouth
Finals week is here, and I may spectacularly fail, however, at least I'm giving it a chance.
So roll on, world.

Anne’s murderous vagina, outsourcing, and projectile vomiting!
So, Anne’s vagina nearly killed me today. See, I was sitting at my writing station eating an orange, being the normal innocent halo-wearing angel I usually am. You know, editing erotica and watching adult videos for, uh, reference and stuff. And then out of nowhere Anne busts out with-

Christmas Season
The Christmas season is supposed to be a season of hope and happiness. But if you suffer from depression it can be the worst time of the year. You can be surrounded by friends and family, yet never feel so alone. Surrounded by joy and laughter, yet never feel so sad. Surrounded by decorations and...

Peppermint Treat in a Sugar Cone
She shivered in the cold and silence and tried to roll onto her tummy to alleviate the pain in her shoulders. Her cheeks had long dried from the tears she’d shed hours ago, during her first hour alone in the dark and now it was all about the pain and the horror.

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
