Those of you who have followed my posts on Mad Genius Club, know that I’m one of those writers who got started rather late in life. It’s not that I wasn’t writing. I’ve written stories for as long as I’ve known how to write. If it weren’t for Sarah, I’d probably still be happily writing... Continue Reading →
And another bites the dust
Great, now I'm going to have the Queen song in my head all day. Well, at least it's this one and not another -- which shall not be named because then THAT will be in my head and I've already lived through that. Don't want to do it again. Anyway. . . . Those of... Continue Reading →
It’s Tuesday and the gods are picking on me
As much as I hate to do it, I'm going to basically bail on the post this morning. You see, I learned something valuable yesterday: the writing gods have very perverse sense of humor. Either that or my dog sabotaged everything he could in order to prevent Sarah from going home. First, he somehow managed... Continue Reading →
New beginngings — or maybe not so new
First off, let me apologize for bailing on Tuesday. We've all had those days when, no matter how well you have the day planned, something happens to throw everything to the wind. Tuesday was that day for me. I appreciate all the comments you guys left about potential topics and I promise to get to... Continue Reading →
To dream or to do
Last night I was talking with Sarah via IM and asking what I ought to blog about today. Normally finding a something to blog about isn't a problem. The problem is usually finding one that isn't such a hot button topic that we'd be invaded by trolls and an epic flame war would erupt. But... Continue Reading →
Tuesday morning thoughts
I'm running a bit late this morning and -- gasp -- without coffee. Yes, that horrible day finally came to pass. I have to start a day without that magical elixir that jump-starts my brain and body. I won't go into details, but let's just say I am NOT amused. The only thing worse would... Continue Reading →
A Real Change of Heart or Just More Smoke and Mirrors
Earlier this week, it was announced that Tor/Forge was going to go DRM-free by July 2012. Normally, I'd view such news as very good news indeed. However, I'll admit I'm still playing Scrooge about it. Maybe it's because of who owns Tor/Forge -- Macmillan. You remember them. They are one of the Big 6, those... Continue Reading →
Here a snippet, there a snippet, everywhere a snippet
It's time for your friendly neighborhood pusher of books to come out to tempt you with snippets of the recently published or soon to be published. Enjoy! # # # # Darkship Renegades Sarah A.

A bit of promotion and then an open floor
I hope everyone's having a great weekend. Since Sarah has finished her workshop and we don't have another in the queue yet, I thought this was the perfect time for some promotion for the MGCers and then we'll throw the floor open to comments and workshop suggestions. So, let's get on with the promos! Dave's... Continue Reading →
On publishing lemmings, second books in a series and other random thoughts
As you can tell from the title of this post, my brain is populated by idea bunnies hopped up on too much caffeine. Worse, they are being selfish and not sharing the caffeine. That would usually result in some bunny sacrifices -- after all, it is very dangerous to get between me and coffee in... Continue Reading →
