Language is a powerful tool, and the better you are at wielding it the better your results will be. If you want to engage your audience and pique their interest, you need to develop exceptional written communication skills. A big part of improving your writing skills is simply learning how to imp...

Today we’re talking about AUDIO Books. Since I’m relatively new to the process I wanted to get the advice and wisdom of some authors who have gone through the process of converting a book to audio, so I sought out one of my Wild Rose Press sistahs, Linda Nightingale, to help me out. Linda’s a  pr...

Pre-order Cardinal Black from Cemetery Dance

Hi guys,

Wow, I have some pretties coming up. I’ve seen the cover for, Street King and it is so good. Street King is my super, alpha, stalker hero that is completely obsessed with his woman. I mean, scarily obsessed. It is also a full-length and I am so addicted to it. If you’re part of my MC grou...

I had a little bit of time on my hands and so decided to play the tutorial mission of Fallout: New Vegas and then deviate from the story line and go directly to Nelson and free the settlement from the oppressive rule of the Legion. Enjoy:

Friends! The sexiest wounded Warrior Fight Club book is coming soon!

I was scrolling down my Facebook feed and I saw a ton of Naruto slash. I am not familiar with this anime, but man, is there a lot of gay fanfiction written about it.

It made me think about shows and movies that immediately had me feeling that electric spark between two male characte...

Whether we attend the wedding of a couple living together or decide to stay home, we are saying something. So what exactly should we say?

More thoughts on the nature of story from The Mystery Feast by Ben Okri:

"As this is a celebration of storytelling, it is important to state that stories can also be pernicious. Stories have also been used for evil. They have been used for the denigration, the demonisation, and the exterminatio...

It would be to reduce their capital gains taxes. Those
are taxes on the increased value of their stocks and bonds, businesses, and
other valuables, when they sell th...

Here’s my gift from me to you! Just click on the cover and get your copy! ~DD

It’s difficult being someone my age who says she writes. Especially when I explain to people what kind of stories I like to write. Then, when I try to advertise my work that I post online, I always get the “do you write fanfiction?” question. This is possibly by far the worst question you can ask...

Now that I’ve finished the draft of my book on the afterlife, and am waiting for readers’ comments, I am turning to a revision of my textbook: The New Testament: A Historical Introduction to the Early Christian Writings.  It was first published in 1997 and this will be the seventh edition.

It’s h...

In his foreword to a powerful new book by David Edwards and David Cromwell, the founders and editors of Media Lens, Propaganda Blitz, John Pilger asks what happened to an age of eyewitness reporting and to journalism that relied on evidence.

It’s easy — and not wrong — to think that truth is in dire danger in the era of Donald Trump.

His own record of issuing breathtaking falsehoods from the exalted platform of the White House is unprecedented in American history. So is his consistent refusal to back down when a statement is proven fa...

The Thought Bubble convention has become something I look forward to every year.  It’s the only event I have a table at, at which I sell items from my back catalogue, mostly because I’d feel weird just sitting there without something in front of me.  It’s largely an excuse to meet the lovely, rat...

Had a very interesting chat with Sue Laybourn and we talked about loving what we do.

I was told by like EVERYONE at 18 that no one makes money with writing – given this was 1985 – they were probably right. We didn’t have internet, kindle, etc, you were left with the publishing houses to get publis...

да, мне день придумывать заголовки для всей этой херни

но вот не новое, не сильно красивое или стильное, но хотя бы тематическое:

аренда машин пиарится за счет литературы (я надеялся, что картинки будут порознь, но нет)

еще один человеческий документ Керуака всплыл

ну и из смешного. подобным сообщ...

I've never been one to pore over the obituary columns. I did do a column about obituaries recently, because they are an acknowledged art form and you get some pretty brilliant examples of the form every now and then.
This one, from the New York Times, is almost perfect.
