I’m taking another FB break for the foreseeable future. While I may have posts on here, it’s just because they’re coming from other linked accounts, but I won’t be reading or responding. A lot of the people I’m connected with on here are peers, friends, other authors, writers, creatives, and…

Just a quick update to note that I’ve sold another flash fiction humor piece to the UFO3 Anthology. That’s the Unidentified Flying Objects anthology Kickstarted by writer and editor Alex Shvartsman. I had the joy of being included in last year’s UFO2 anthology as well, with my story, “The Girl…

[INSERT MEANDERING STATEMENT ABOUT HOW LONG IT’S BEEN SINCE I POSTED HERE LAST] There. We’ll skip that part and let your wonderful imaginations do the work for me. In other news a bit more interesting than a necro-blog, this morning saw me signing a book contract! My wife was kind…

I’ve had various folks express interest when they hear I work on a treadmill desk during the week. When I started freelancing full-time, I realized that for the previous 5ish years, all my jobs had involved sitting at a desk at least 8 hours a day. Then I’d go home…

Thanks to my writing friend, Fran Wilde, I’ve been blog-tagged to talk about my current WIP (work-in-progress, if anyone isn’t familiar with the acronym). So, in an effort to infuse a bit of life into this flagging blog of mine, let’s dive in! Ten Interview Questions for The Next Big…

As I note in a tandem Write Strong post, no, this blog is not extinct. As I’ve warned, it simply is one of the first things to get scratched off the to-do list when other work or writing efforts ramp up–which they have been, in a good way, over the…

It’s an odd feeling, that first time you measure a major thing in life by a decade. While I’ve had an insatiable love for books since first I can remember (what 8-year-old reads “The Lifecycle of Lobsters” for fun?), and my first attempt at a novel at age 10 resulted…

A little bit back, I got invited to what looks to be a fun new Christmas tradition for those who have a love for flash fiction–the I Saw Lightning Fall Shared Storytelling. For the past couple years, Loren Eaton, who runs the I Saw Lightning Fall blog, has invited a…

Hey! Dear god, Urban Fantasy, back off! This is a love *letter* which means you won’t be receiving this for at least a month or so, depending on your area’s postal service. So stop humping my leg. Okay. Phew. Onward. UF, why is it that you continue to fascinate me?…
