In my never-ending quest (well, not any time soon, anyway) to interview all the
contributors over at Storytellers Unplugged, I have the pleasure of presenting my latest…five questions with author Sarah Monette. Sarah has some very interesting perspectives on fantasy, world-building, and writing in general.
Sarah Monette grew up in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. She has a Ph.D. in English literature and insufficient…
Okay, as news goes, this doesn’t suck. Not only did I finally make my way back onto the final ballot for the HWA’s Bram Stoker Award - but I made it three times the same year! To say I am pleased would fall just a TAD short…you’ll find the three thing I am nominated for below - linked appropriately!
One of the coolest things about being a writer is the wide variety of acquaintances you “collect” over the years. With the expansion of the Internet, and the rises of “blogging” it has become increasingly easy to share this wealth, which brings me to the subject of this latest post.
Yesterday I posted my review of the group collection Sins of…
I’ve just posted my sort of lengthy review of the volume SINS OF THE SIRENS - a book put together by John Everson that contains short stories by four of the most talented ladies of darkness working today: 
Loren Rhoads, Maria Alexander, Mehitobel Wilson, and Christa Faust. This book is available in an attractive trade paperback (if you want to ignore…

She has authored many novels in many realities, and I think you will all…

I feel as if there is more to be gained from all of it than just an opinion on a particular author, or a particular work, and here is one tidbit that surfaced recently.

I’ve been trying to build up my blog traffic. There are a million articles out there on how to get more hits, how to get your Google index ration optimized, and your ranking high on all the right spots…it’s frightening, confusing, and a time sink of astronomical proportion.
Yesterday I was checking my blog at Technorati.com. This is a site where…
This is a video showing what the new Tesla Roadster sounds like when driven … MAN those are cool cars. You’ll note one, I’m told, in the Iron Man trailer. How cool is this car? It’s in the trailer for a major motion picture, and the company didn’t even pay for product placement!
