    Green Men peer out from masks of turkey fig tree, oak and hydrangea leaves. A cherubic face nestles in the curve of a blue-glazed moon. A deep green wall vase holds a cluster of paper flowers. If you have been to a local craft fair in the Carolinas, chances are you have run across Gail…

We talked about her Furlough Tour, the main character from her Blackfire series, Major Sara Harvey, as well as her interpretation of the traditional zombie monster. Today, we talk about some of the research she does for her books, her…

    As I mentioned in the teaser, author Elizabeth Donald is a journalist, as well as a blogger and a writer of fiction. I met her at Dragon*Con, where I attended a reading and then stayed to bug her and bend her ear. She and I used to live out in the same neck of the woods (if…

    In May, I posted a conversation with Caitlin Hensley, who was launching the first book in her series, The Inhuman Chronicles. Paranormal Legacy, a Young Adult urban fantasy novel, told the story of a teenage girl who discovers that there is more to her family than even she knows. That novel was followed by the…

    Okay, so a few days ago, I blogged about some upcoming guests. And then NaNo and laundry ate my life. Well, mostly laundry, because I’m really behind on NaNo right now. But let us not dwell on my procrastination, let us check out… BEAST WITHIN Book III of The Inhuman Chronicles New release from Caitlin Hensley.…

    Okay, actually two big things. First, I am home after a year stationed in Kuwait. It was hot, sandy, a little boring sometimes, but also kind of fun at other times.

    So, after a morning spent with migraine, work, migraine, and not very much writing, I chugged 1600 mgs of Motrin and a couple of bottles of water, went for a walk outside, ate lunch, surfed the web, and finally sat down to work on Steel-Toed Blues. I coughed out a couple hundred words. Then I…

    It’s Day 5 of NaNoWriMo, and I got off track just a tad. I’ve been pretty good about the whole “no social media or TV/movies until you hit your 2K” restriction that I’ve placed on myself, and so far I’ve been chugging along with my story, churning out those words. However … (cue minor key…
