Pilates Project: Tuck and Arch
One of my goals for 2015 is to write a Pilates book. The first part will be essays on Pilates and my teaching experiences. I’ve been teaching Pilates for fifteen years now and I feel like I have some things to say about it. The other part of the book will be an in depth look at many of the Pilates mat exercises. To help me get started on the exercise portion of the book, I’ll be sharing, on occasion, some of the exercises here.
Today’s exercise is a simple centering exercise. Be comfortable an...

2014 Recap and 2015 Vision
2014 was a big year for me on the editing/revisions front. After a slow start—Apple ate my computer for six weeks—I completely revised my book, The Gantean,and the next book in my Lethemia Fantasy series, The Cedna. I finished and revised the third book in that series as well! All of these drafts are currently in the beta reading phase of their existence, like little chrysalises waiting to become butterflies. Or so I hope.
This year I created a new, special edition of The Velocipede Races—anot...

Five Hundred Words of Magic
I’ve been doing my best to stay on top of formatting the anthology Five Hundred Words of Magic as the Luminous Creatures contest has progressed, so that I am now nearly done even though we just got the final entries yesterday. The ebook and print versions are looking great—they just need a final proofread and they’ll be ready to publish. For those of you who don’t know, Five Hundred Words of Magic is a flash fiction anthology published by Luminous Creatures Press—the mini-press Beth Deitchman...

This anthology presents over one hundred micro-stories from a broad range of authors, spanning the genre from poetry to flash fiction with entire story arcs contained in tiny word counts. Flash fiction is a tricky art r...

More Flashdogs Fun
I spent the past week formatting the Flashdogs ebook. The alpha dogs at FDHQ just sent out this teaser image by Tam Rogers and Carlos Orozco, which lists all the authors–thirty-four of them!–who have stories in the anthology. I got to read the entire book early as I proofed it, and I’m happy to say it reads really well. All the stories were a great, diverse lot, stretching from the nearly literary to the fully comedic. I can’t wait to see the final version coming soon in December.

Coming Soon!
I will have two stories in this anthology coming out in December 2014. The anthology gathersa wide range of flash writers from the international community and will surely be a great read. I’ll let you know as I know the exact release date, but it is expected to be mid-December.
I’m also helping out with the ebook design, and it has been a treat to work with the book’s two main editors,Mark A. King andDavidShakes. Follow @Flashdogsfor updates about the anthology and future Flashdogs projects.
