Hey all! So January is over, and boy was it a long year. For me, it was an incredibly productive month. In fact, it was the most productive month Ive ever had.

So I thought Id share it here, along with one of the ways I track my word count: I write it on an old-school paper calendar every day. This way Mr. Burns can get a look and if Im having a slow period, give me a poke. (Okay fine, its more...

Sam Burns rated a book it was ok Write Your Novel From the Middle: A New Approach for Plotters, Pantsers and Everyone in Between by James Scott Bell (Goodreads Author)	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
The weird aversion to sex scenes with "body parts" is somehow juvenile and puritanical at the same time. No, Mr. Bell, two lines of a mediocre metaphor doesn't work better than actual descriptions. Way to marginalize entire genres by suggesting ...more

Sam Burns answered Jim Steele's question: This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler) Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Wolf Reborn is the final book in the initial trilogy. However, I've left a lot of room for myself to come back with a new series in Kismet, it's just not on my schedule in the immediate future.

Sam Burns liked an answer about Kathleen Hale Is a Crazy Stalker: Goodreads allows people to rate and comment on a book before it is published? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of book ratings, and turns it into author ratings instead? Not denying that Hale made some very unwise choices. But shouldn't a book review page be about reviewing the book on its own merits, rather than using it as a place to unload feelings on an author? Goodreads has always allowed people to review before the publish date (at least as long as I've used). Almost every time, pre-release ratings are from people who have already read the book posting reviews. Occasionally, people use one- or five-sta... See Katie’s answer. Katie

Quotes by Sam Burns

“Gods weren’t known for their temperance or discretion, but Lysandros could wait more than a couple of weeks to make proclamations of his undying affection. In the meanwhile, he’d put on display all that he had to offer, and he had quite a large collection of books.”
― Sam Burns, Prince of Death

“Theo made a mental note to look up the care of violets after she left. He was going to raise the healthiest potted violet ever. He'd knit it a damn sweater for the winter, if need be.”
