I’ve been interested in Baen’s Universe for awhile, so I jumped at the chance to get a free copy ofÂ V1 #3Â in exchange for a reveiw and a link.Â Once I downloaded the pdf, I realized that the 163 pages ofÂ content was more than I could read in a sitting or two.Â So I’ve decided to

Calling all scab-eaters!Â Go to Amazon and buy Carmen’s Sticky Scab.Â It’s funny, it’s educational (who knew the drama that can come with a scab?), and it’s written by my good friend and writing buddy, Ginger Churchill.

I’m sure I’m not alone in my thirst for enlightenment as to how much money writers really make.Â You know, not the ones who only write ‘for themselves’, or come out with a book every six years, and not the Rowlings either, but the average writer of reasonable success. ThanksÂ to Jordan for this info and

I had hopes that we’d get a couple more posts out of her, but apparently not.Â Miss Snark has said goodbye and posted her last post.Â Let us all pause for a moment of snarkly fury that she hasÂ so cruelly bailed on us. Â I still had questions.Â We all begged her to stay…but at

Lloyd Alexander

I’m weighing in a bit late, but couldn’t let it go without aÂ note. Lloyd Alexander, author of the Prydain Chronicles, among other books, died on May 17th 2007.Â The Washington Post carried a tribute to him in their obituaries.Â I particularly enjoyed this quote printed therein: “I used the imaginary kingdom not as a sentimentalized

My short story, Bovine Aspirations, has been accepted at Bewildering Stories and is scheduled to appear in issue 262.
