    Anticipation Of…

    January 25, 2013 / No Comments

    So while I am never short of book, novel and story projects, sometimes I lack for blogging topics. I don’t want to be trite and lament on the same things over and over again.  That’s why I signed up for another year with the Merry Go Round Blog Tour! This month  I would like to talk about anticipation. Not anticipation with…

    Best Books of 2012

    December 25, 2012 / No Comments

    For those of you who celebrate Christmas – Merry Christmas!  Today I’m at my brother’s likely enjoying some delicious food and good company. Luckily I had the sense to schedule this post ahead of time so I didn’t miss this month’s Merry-Go-Round Blog Tour topic! So the title of this post is a bit misleading, but only because my reading list…

    The State of the Publishing Industry

    November 25, 2012 / No Comments

    When I saw this topic at the beginning of the year I was sure I’d know exactly what to write. However, now that it’s time to write it I find myself overwhelmed. The state of the industry is in such flux that it would be impossible to cover everything in one blog entry. We’ve gone from the big six to the…

    When You’ve Gone Pro

    October 25, 2012 / No Comments

    Being a professional writer means different things to different people.  In the writing world, some writers have come to define professional as qualifying for membership in a professional writing organization. This often means you have to have been published by an approved publisher or magazine paying professional rates. I’m going to be up front for a moment. I  do not believe you…

    I Could Probably Carry About 20 Books + My Kindle

    September 25, 2012 / 1 Comment

    Sorry for the title (which would make sense if this was about reading), but I didn’t want to title it, “My Strengths As A Writer” because it sounds like one of those back-to-school reports we used to have to write in elementary school. “What I Did During Summer Vacation.” So what are my greatest writing strengths? I’d have to say…

    On the *To Be Read* Pile

    August 25, 2012 / No Comments

    Like many of you, I have an ever growing list of books I want to read. It’s so bad, in fact, that not only do I have a bunch of books on my Kindle, but I have a list of books I want to read that I keep on my phone. The death of Maeve Binchy, for example, spurred me…

    All of the Beautiful Horses

    July 25, 2012 / No Comments

    I was four-years-old when I fell in love with books. I have fond memories of my parents reading to me and me reading to them. I was sitting on the couch with a book the day my older brother and his friend started the field across the street on fire.  When I had to change schools in third grade, it…

    Balancing The Writing Life

    June 25, 2012 / No Comments

    Balancing the writing life means different things to different people. A lot of writers have children to look after, so not only are they trying to balance a day job and family life, but also writing. Truth be known, I have a profound respect for those folks who juggle all of that. Me – I can’t really complain. The writing…

    Line of the Dead!

    May 25, 2012 / 2 Comments

    I’ve always loved a deadline. I’m one of those people who thrives on deadlines. I do some of my best work under pressure. When I decided, at the tender age of seventeen, that I was going to be a professional journalist, it was the adrenaline rush of the deadline that made me think I’d love working for a newspaper. Throughout college I…

    I Gotta Be Me….

    April 25, 2012 / No Comments

    So in this month’s Merry-Go-Round blog post we were asked to talk about who influenced us as a writer. Next to that, in parenthesis, it said: (i.e. who would you like to be compared to?)  When I was a teenager back in the late 80’s the answer would have been, hands down, David Eddings. I idolized David Eddings. But that’s not…
