    I have been getting back into the reading groove with a vengeance, and this week found me tearing through two Young Adult novels by Connie Monique Wilson, author and blogger at Musings of a Manic Blond. Northern Lights and Learning the Hard Way reminded me in a very strong way of books I read when I was a…

    Paranormal Legacy, by Caitlin Hensley, is one of those books, which, when I began reading it, I didn’t quite know what to expect. I had seen Caitlin’s posts in one of the online National Novel Writing Month forums and had picked it up just to see what it was like. I am not usually a…

    I have had the pleasure of knowing Sue Winegardner, Assistant Editor at Entangled Publishing, for going on about a year now.

    I first met Conrad Glover in 2004 when he hired me to do some photography on the set of his independent horror film, Woods of Evil. At that time, I had done a little set photography and enjoyed it for the unique mix of aspects of photojournalism and fine art photography that capturing a work-in-progress film…

    I first met Army Captain Elizabeth Van Heusden in July, 2011, at the Military Police Captains Career Course at Fort Leonard Wood, MO. During the six-month course, she was my workout buddy and I coaxed her into writing a novel during National Novel Writing Month. Upon graduation, I started work on an ongoing project to…

    Q.(Infamous Scribbler) On your site, you write that you got into designing for the indie author community during 2011 National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo.
