A tree standing but a few feet from where he once stood crackles as yet another bolt finds its mark, splitting its trunk in two!

I get that question frequently enough.
"What book made you want to write? What book inspired you the most?"
And the answer sounds weird.
All of them.
All the books I read inspired me to write the books I do now. Every book I read took me from where I sat, whether that be school, at home, or a lib... Read more of this blog post »

There is so much that we have to give one another but we must be willing to accept it. At the same time we must know when to turn the offer away. I get that we get stuck in our ways but we all need help once and awhile.
Beth Green's blog:
While my husband helps coach, I take pictures of the football team. It’s just something that I do with my nervous energy—something I can give back to the families so that they can sit and enjoy the games.

Anthea T Piscarik's blog:
Day 14 without a mobile phone. I get random responses when I divulge my daily routine without one. “How do you do it?” or “I couldn’t do it” and simply, “Wow,“ to be interpreted anyway I choose. But, it wasn’t a conscious effort, like starting a first-of-the-year diet or joining a fitness club. O...

James Litherland's blog:
Not completely different, or different just to be different – which usually results in nothing but a complete mess – but with all the great books out there, the only good reason to write another is because you have something somewhat new to say. Or say it in a different way.

A subscriber to the Reddit group on precognition recently asked me, “Is an Oneironaut an actual term?” I replied that I chose the title about ten years ago because "oneiro" means "dream" in Greek, and "nauts" means "travelers." The parallel is with astronauts, which means "star travelers." The on...

Have you ever wanted to talk about something when you didn't have all the details? Or have you held a secret that begged to be told? The secret has a life of its own in a separate fantasy world.

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
