It is strange, but I finally took the steps to get a proper editor. Up to this point I've been doing all the editing myself, usually within a span of a week.
However, from both comments and my own personal feelings it was apparent to me that that wasn't good enough.

Asao arrives at the base of the hill, slips his sandals back on after rinsing his feet clean of the mud now caked between his toes, then looks to the sky before beginning his climb, searching for any indication of an advancing threat of rain. At breakfast, Grandmother had said she would not be su...

Bryan Nyaude's blog:
when I wrote the legacy of monsters series, I realized I was taking a big risk by making my main character a vile super villain. Most people like stories about heroes with happy ending, but I decided to write his story as a prequel. Most people will not like this genre, but in a few years they wi...

I’m not politically correct and I’m not a serene type of person. I feel things strongly and it shows. I am quick to state my opinions and am usually too stubborn to change them out loud (even if I am wrong in the end). But, I’m not an asshole, on purpose.

As a kid, the thought of germs never phased me.

I love writing urban fiction and wonder what readers want to see in their urban fiction books. How much detail is too much detail or when is there not enough.

A phrase we hear often is, “art imitates life", and I suppose that in many respects, that’s true. But does it work the other way around? Can life also be inspired by art?

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
Interview with Kate Atkinson
The year is 1940, and Juliet Armstrong is on the trail of Nazi collaborators. Juliet isn't some high-living MI5 femme fatale; the protagonist of
Transcription
, a new novel by Kate Atkinson, is just an unworldly, if cynical, 18-year-old girl who writes up surveilled sessions between fascist sympathizers. But though she's a minor cog in the war effort among the secret agents and bureaucrats, she's soon pulled into bigger things—events that haunt her years later. ...more
