I literally devoured Kay Kenyon’s first book in the Entire and the Rose series, Bright of the Sky, in about a week. Which is really fast, for me. I attended one of Kenyon’s panels at Orycon and was really intrigued by her descriptions of her characters during the session; finally, last week, I sat down [...]

For Christmas last year, I received (from my awesome husband) an Amazon Kindle 2.   I wanted the Kindle over other e-readers primarily because the technology was better; although the Nook was running a heated race, I just didn’t feel that the product matched up to the Kindle in enough ways to justify buying it instead, [...]

It’s been awhile since I posted anything – I’ve been staying off the computer as much as possible recently (well, considering my day job involves computers), due to arthritis in my hands, which my doctor thinks could be the early stages of Rheumatoid Arthritis.  That’s not really the thing you want to hear when you’re still in [...]

Check out the latest issue of Beneath Ceaseless Skies magazine. It’s an ezine for some of the best in short fantasy fiction, and they publish two new stories every two weeks or so. Best of all, you can read the stories for free!

It seems like anyone who is anyone in the SpecFic writing world has a livejournal blog.  I didn’t (well, until now), but apparently this is a good strategy to have, since everyone who is everyone can friend you, read your posts (or ignore them), and get to know you. In essence, livejournal helps people see you.  [...]

New sub opportunities of interest in the distant-near future, specifically geared toward the female perspective/protagonist: MZB’s Sword & Sorceress Anthology series has been picked up by Norilana Books.  This will be it’s 25th incarnation. The Ladies of Trade Town: another Norilana Books production. Realms of Fantasy’s “Women in Fantasy” themed issue.  There’s been a lot [...]

So, I recently had a story idea inspired by a passage in Jack Campbell’s Relentless (The Lost Fleet series).  I’m still toying with how to execute the idea, but for now, this image almost completely captures the landscape and feel of the world I was imagining.  It also looks a lot like Endor, which is cool [...]

So, OryCon is now done. I met a few really awesome writers, including Mary Robinette Kowal, Ken Scholes and Nisi Shawl. These guys were part of some awesome panels like Writing the Other, Ken’s Writing Workshop and panels on selling your work and world-building.  There was a lot of great advice from everyone on these [...]
