Are you ready to change destiny?

There's this thing about changing destiny, and butterfly wings, and the laws of unintended consequences. And oh, it could get so serious... so instead I'm just posting a picture to advertise a novel, so we can imagine changed destinies instead. After, that's part of why we read and write.

Will You Use Your Imagination Instead of Your Screen?

Today I'm delighted to welcome author Sasha Olsen to my blog. She is a 10-year-old environmental activist, ballroom dancer, bookworm, and pianist, and she enjoys anything artistic.

She lives with her family in Bal Harbour, Florida, where she also spearheads the conservation movement “I Want My Ocean Back.” Legends From Mom’s Closet is her first book, and I'm plea...

Is Silence an Option for Birds?

There's a free book out there today (and who doesn't need more books while we're locked in). It's called The Songbirds and it's by an author called Alif.

The Songbirds by Alif   But who is Alif? About the Author:
I write because silence is not an option. At the same time, my novels brim with hope in addition to having a riveting plot. My debut novel, which was published by a boutique publisher in Europe some years ago, was seen to be refreshing.

My recent novel Guns...

Mythic, magical, realism, horror, urban, fantasy, scifi…?

Today I'm delighted to welcome author Michael Williams to my blog. He's touring the internet with a fascinating quartet of books, but which shelf will you find them on? Michael has generously agreed to help me figure out the shelf, and understand how all those "genres" of my favorite books fit together. Is it Mythic, magical, realism, horror, urban, fantasy, scifi... or what? So, over to you Michael...

All kinds of genres

Advice Ignored

Today I'm hosting Ruby Walker, who is touring the internet with a book about teenage depression, written by a teenager. Otherwise described as a self-help book for people who hate help and themselves. Which sounds depressing, but...

When Ruby Walker was 15 going on 16, she went from a numb, silent, miserable high school dropout to a joyous loudmouth in one year flat. Advice I Ignored answers the question everyone's been asking her since: What happened?

Full of stories, honest advice, fierce...

Now we'll be safeDon't tell me what to doWhat exactly does it meanHow can I work around it and live normallyHow can I benefit from this...? Or maybeWe've never lived in such a time!But the truth is, we've lived - as a nation, as a world - through far worse times, as A.J. Sidransky's The Interpreter most evocatively and powerfully reminds us.Feeling separate from family? How separate must those Jewish children have felt, evacuated...

Is there light in the dark?

Crime in the Civil War, WWII, in the 60s, in the present day... crime, it seems, is always with us, and the people who deal with it continue to cope with its effect on themselves in different ways. Meanwhile authors write about them. I've enjoyed a number of books with backgrounds in crime recently--an escape perhaps to a more dangerous world, where good people remind me my comfort doesn't only rest on the world being good. Not that all these books had terribly positive endings, but you can...
