Behind The Words // Dawn Kirby

My guest today is author Dawn Kirby, prolific author of the upcoming paranormal romance, SECRETS, which comes out on July 29th. Dawn and I hang out in the same circles on the web and we recently connected despite our tragically busy schedules. Just like me, Dawn likes writing in the dark. But let's let Dawn do the talking!




My name is Dawn Kirby. I'm the author of the Paranormal Romance,

How Long To Sing This Song?

Readers are astonished to learn that I began thinking about the my novel Thalo Blue over a dozen years ago. It's true, though. I remember where I was when the seed of that book hit me.

As always, thanks to you all for supporting me.

Free Preview // New Short Story

I love good short fiction and, as such, I've written several handfuls of short stories over the years. I've compiled them and released them and thought I'd share one with you this week. Here's a short story from my new collection Nights Gone By.

Guest Author: L.M. Stull

Friend and author L.M. Stull has released a new collection of stories and poems. Always gracious and generous with her time, Ms. Stull dropped in with us at the Reaches to discuss some of the inspirations and contentions in her collection and also how it fits in with her overall writing endeavours.
