Time For A Macquarium by Rogenna Brewer

 Time to turn this iMac into a Maquriam?Let me preface this by saying I love my Mac.  I wouldn't even be thinking about turning my computer into a fish tank if it weren't so old that the operating system can no longer support internet browsing.  Can't live without internet.  My entire professional life is conducted online these days.  

I acquired my last eMac (not pictured) while broke and on deadline.  The screen of its predecessor had gone dark and I wanted the...

Naming Secondary Characters

by Rogenna Brewer
In a world where unusual names coupled with uncommon spelling is the norm, I've made a conscience effort to buck the trend and give my characters common names.  
As a reader I don't like stumbling over pronunciation, even in my head.  How about you?
My process for naming characters can be quite elaborate.  Generally, the name and the meaning have to fit before I consider christening him or her.  Please don't get me started on nicknames.
