Chat with best-selling author Rebecca Forster
Today, I'd like to welcome Rebecca Forster to the blog. She has graciously donated her time to answer some questions. Welcome Rebecca!
Deb: Could you talk a little about your traditionally published work?
Rebecca: You'll be sorry you asked! I'm one of those people who still can't believe I have books with my name on them – even after publishing 20+ – but here goes. I actually wrote my first

My New Interview from Across the Pond
I have a new interview up. Many thanks to Simon Forward for hosting me on his blog, Prefect Slog.
Here's an excerpt:
How do you research the science in your science fiction?
My coauthor, David W Small, and I like to have the science we use in our books grounded in reality. For example, in our Otharia books, we use crystals to enhance PSI power. We wanted these "crystals" to be something

Review - Mozart's Sister by Nancy Moser
4 of 5 starsI purchased this book from Amazon during a promotional sale.
MOZART'S SISTER is a beautifully told story from Nannerl Mozart's viewpoint, the long forgotten older sister of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The story propels the reader back in time and gives us a sneak peak of what life was like for a female during the 18th century. Unfortunately, it's not an easy or charmed life and Nannerl

Interview with Daphne Coleridge
Briefly describe your journey in writing your first book.The Artist's Model is my own life – with a twist of poetic licence. As an artist I have painted life (nude) models and posed myself (fully clothed!) and know all the vagaries, passions and quirks of the artist's temperament. This is what I set out to capture in my book, wrapped up in a love story. In the story we

Review - Flaming Dove by Daniel Arenson
4 of 5 stars
I purchased this book for my Kindle in August.
Armageddon. Angels vs. Demons. Good vs. Evil. These are the themes in the author's new book, "Flaming Dove." But, for me, the book was much more than these larger-than-life themes. I found the relationships especially those of Laila, the half-angel, half-demon, had with Beezlebub, Michael, Bat-El and even

Happy Halloween!
Halloween at my house is all about watching the kids come up the driveway in their costumes especially the young ones. There are all quite cute, but how can you compare to this? I want to know who dressed these critters because I have 4 cats and there's no way any of them would ever let me put a costume on them. So, I say bravo to the owners! I wonder how many scratches they earned with these
