Chelsea Mueller's blog:
It’s not a secret to anyone who has met me or followed me on any social media channel that I love to give book recommendations. Sometimes it gets harder when someone is just starting to get into reading for pleasure or is wary about starting a new genre.
When I tell people I write urban fantasy, I...

Pete Conrad's blog:
A quick note about my style. I use a lot of em dashes. I also refuse (my editor's word) to capitalize the first letter in quotes if it isn't the first letter in a sentence.
Like this:
"I dunno," Pete said, "this is just my style. Suck it if you don't approve."
I do that because I like the way it lo... Read more of this blog post »

India Emerald's blog:
I decided to relax last night and watch a documentary about deep sea creatures. Yesterday was a busy day and, as I had the night to myself, the treat of a bit of tv would be well earned. Also, I could have the subtitles on and learn some new German words (Rätselhaft=enigamtic/baffling btw).

Jacqueline Mahan's blog:
The subtext alone kept me turning pages and makes this book magnificent. The Confusion of Languages is immediately engaging; these women are real people, they could be your neighbors. If you were a military spouse learning how to live in the Middle East and juggling the tension in your everyday l...

Maranda Evans's blog:
Let me guess. . . you're thinking just because I'm a published author, motivator, and founder of a non-profit organization that I must have it all together? My newly released book is called "Renewed Strength: Steps to Becoming A S.U.R.V.I.V.O.R", so I must be undefeatable. Welp! I've come to tell...

In a world with no oceans, pockets of civilization are connected only by wheeled ships that travel a great salt flat, and this story is about a young woman who seeks adventure in this str...

Tobe Hanson's blog:
I recall one of the first times I unintentionally found the underlying cause of a patient’s physical injury, pain, and suffering. It was in 1985, my first year after immigrating to the United States. I was working as an assistant to a chiropractor in northern California when a man in his late for...

I have a personal blog in which I write about a wide variety of things. The President’s announcement today upset me greatly, both as an ally of the LGBTQ+ community and someone who worked for the Dept. of the Army during the days of “Don’t Ask/Don’t Tell.” Good service members are harmed by dis...

Two years ago I had a short story called Hvellurinn (The Bang in English) in a Icelandic anthology of Christmas stories. It's a short humorous story that centers around a loud bang at Christmas time. There was a book launch for it which I showed up for. It began with an introductory talk, then so...

It's really difficult to get me to go on a first date. I don't like when there's an awkward lull in conversation. I want us to pretend we know each other well enough that we have rapport, our sense of humors sync up, and there's no awkward pause followed by, "Soooo, anyway." Read into it all you...

Interview with Tom Perrotta
Fresh off the series finale of HBO's adaptation of The Leftovers, Perrotta is back with a look at sex and midlife second-guessing. "I'm very interested in sex and the way that ideas about sex and what's permissible keep changing. So the fun of the book is to take a middle-aged person and plunge them into what is a youthful world of dating and sex," he says....more
