I am, yet again, a misogynist

Not for the first time, due to my writing, I have been accused of being a misogynist. No, I’m not going to link to the accusationbecause I don’t want tobe accused of disputing a review.

How To Write with a Co-Writer – Writing Partner Pitfalls and Successes

As many of you know, Jessica West and I co-wrote the Serial Novel Sin Eaterwhich released last fall. As we’re gearing up to start working on Season Two I wanted to take a little time to reflect on the process of collaboration, co-writing, and some of the really important things we learned by doing this.
