Today is one of those days when I couldn't decide on a topic for a post. No, not because there isn't anything out there that interested me but because too many things did. So I whittled it down to four. I'll give a brief explanation, maybe a link or two for each one and then... Continue Reading →
It is early and I have a couple of things I need to deal with this morning before I can sit down to do a full blog post. In the meantime, the controversy surrounding the RWA/Courtney Milan issue continues. I haven’t had time to do more than a cursory look into the latest from RWA... Continue Reading →
Just a quick post this Boxing Day with the latest I've heard on the Courtney Milan/RWA controversy. In the early evening on Christmas Eve, RWA tweeted an update. Link after the break. https://twitter.com/romancewriters/status/1209632798832812034 https://twitter.com/romancewriters/status/1209632841803485191 None of this surprises me. Milan is a master at rallying her troops via social media. Nothing wrong with that. Many... Continue Reading →
Coffee has been consumed and I'm going over the various pieces of documentation available. Mind you, this is still early days on the topic and RWA has not, to my knowledge, made any statements about what happened other than those contained in the Ethics Committee findings. That means the situation is still fluid and, as... Continue Reading →
I will be back later today with more on this. Unfortunately, this morning is going to be busy and I don't have enough time to do the full research this deserves. However, I wanted to give everyone a head's up and give you a chance to read some of the documentation and get your initial... Continue Reading →
As I sit here, I'll admit part of me wants to go on a tear about several things currently taking place in and around the con circuit. I'm not going to. Partly because I'm still so angry about one item that I'm not sure I could be anything but profane in my comments. It is... Continue Reading →
I'll admit, this post stems from a Facebook discussion I was part of yesterday. A friend of mine mentioned a "paranormal romance" he was reading and my first instinct was to yell, "It's not PNR!". The problem was that book is on this year's shortlist for a RITA as a PNR. Except it's not. Or... Continue Reading →
I had this morning's topic all picked out and ready to go. I really did. It was an article from Author's Guild about why author's can't make a living writing any more. But something about it bothered me. The article was several months old for one thing. For another, it didn't say anything new. It... Continue Reading →
Sorry for the delay this morning, everyone. I have had an upper respiratory infection for the better part of a week that is laying me low. Because of that, I'm taking a break from the formatting series. I will pick it up again, hopefully, tomorrow on my blog. Today, however, I'm going to take my... Continue Reading →
