Thanks for stopping by to view this quick announcement on Rebecca Hamilton's latest release, COME, THE DARK, book 2 in the Forever Girl series. Although this book is the second... Continue Reading →

Forgotten I'm withering and shrinking in on myself, retiring, expiring, all but a corpse, unimportant, but wanting no death just now, still surviving, desiring not yet to cease, not to crumble or tumble into the abyss, continuing, aspiring to be legend. So why haven't I published a novel? Words come and flee, un-captured free-form spirits... Continue Reading →

NaNoWriMo is Over. Get Back To Work

I read and commented on the post Friendly Monsters: NaNoWriMo on WorldWeaverPress.com, written by guest blogger Kristina Wojtaszek. Kristina tells us that she didn't participate in NaNoWriMo this year. I commented that I hadn't either. NaNoWriMo is shorthand for National Novel Writing Month. It could just as easily stand for National Nonsense Writing Month. The... Continue Reading →

How Quick is Your Magic?

I just finished reading the fantasy novel, The Crimson League, by Victoria Grefer. The book was about sorcery and those who deal in it, and presented magic in a way unlike most other fantasy tales I've read or fantasy role playing games I've played. In The Crimson League, magic is powered by Lin, for which... Continue Reading →
