    A few months ago, I posted that I had a few interviews upcoming with authors who were bilingual, which I found absolutely fascinating. (And I’m also a little jealous…if I tried to write even a haiku in German or Russian, it would be a tremendous effort…and I’m not sure it would be successful…) One of…

Dealing with a drunken father who can’t keep his fists to himself doesn’t help matters either. The only good thing in her life, other…

    It’s been radio silence here for a bit as we’re getting ready for a new arrival. We said good-bye to foster Basset Winston, and are prepping for the appearance of our new human puppy.  In keeping with looking ahead, there are some fun things going to be here shortly. This weekend I will be posting interviews…

    A few weeks ago I joined the Paranormal, Fantasy, Dystopia and Romance Readers, Writers and Reviewers Goodreads group, looking for some suggestions for new reading material, hoping to meet some fellow authors, and possibly do some review swapping. In my first week there, the featured author of the week was Angela Norton Tyler, author of Queen…

    Yesterday, I posted up Part One of a conversation about the crowdfunding campaign for the speculative fiction anthology, Accessing the Future, which will be calling for stories that explore the intersectionality of disability, along with gender, class, race, and sexuality.  I’m very enthusiastic about this project, because I believe that telling fiction stories is the way to…

    About a week or so ago, I found myself at the Accessing the Future Indiegogo Campaign Web site, reading about this speculative fiction anthology, which aims to “explor[e] disability & the intersectionality of race, class, gender & sexuality.” The campaign, which has currently raised 73 percent of its $4,000 goal, not only will publish an anthology…

    The Cold Run book tour and giveaway is winding down, although if you haven’t had a chance to enter, don’t worry. We will be hosting another one very soon to celebrate the print release of the book. It’s been a lot of fun and I learned a lot as well, just as I did with…

    Today I had the opportunity—or rather was assigned the opportunity—to attend an event geared towards soldiers who are transitioning, preparing to transition, or thinking about transitioning out of the military. After attending the week-long transition workshop last week, I wasn’t sure if I would gain any insight from a one-day affair that shoe-horned in speeches,…

    Earlier this year I sat down with Jennifer Stromer-Galley, Associate Professor in the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University, and Vice President of the Association of Internet Researchers. Professor Stromer-Galley also served as the primary thesis advisor, mentor, and role model for one Infamous Scribbler. The topic of discussion centered around the release of Stromer-Galley’s…
