A professional milestone
It may or may not be common knowledge that, under my real name, I run B10 Mediaworx, an author services / digital formatting company, which I've been doing for the past ... mmm ... four years. I think. Anyway, before that, I was an at-home medical transcriptionist Read more [...]
The making of Dunham
And so begins a post (or series of them) (you know how wishy-washy I am) on Dunham, the privateer-heroine and pirate-hero Revolutionary War swashbuckler, which, for those of you not following the serial, will be available for sale July 4, 2013.

Veni, vidi, vici.
I had several ideas for this post's title:
"I'm not one of you."
"Repeating myself"
"Tired of the sound of my own voice"
"Being silent"
"Serial starter"
Anyway, all of them are pertinent to my point, but they all mean different things. I'll take Read more [...]
Of artists and assholes
Orson Scott Card doesn't make a hill of beans' worth of difference to me. I never read him until I was an adult (and haven't read Ender's Game), I was underwhelmed with the Alvin Maker series, and aside from his strong views on homosexuality, he has some Read more [...]
Magdalene and Publisher’s Weekly
For an author, a Publisher's Weekly starred review is one of the holy grails of reviews. It's one of those things that, for a writer, is right up there with The Call ("Hi, Mojo. I want to offer you a contract for your book."). I've had pretty close brushes Read more [...]

Creepy collective consciousness is creepy
It appears I'm not the only writer with her knickers in a twist over The Book That Shall Not Be Named, and not only that, but it appears the writerly collective conscious had gotten its knockers knickers in a twist somewhere between Sunday night and Monday Read more [...]
Dunham: the serial
I lied. I'm not going to post the serial chapters here because I made a brand new site dedicated to the purpose. You can sign up for the newsletter, put it in your feed, or bookmark it. I will post here every week that a new one is up, though. That way, Read more [...]
“A book a year is slacking.”
This sentiment got some traction in writerland a couple of weeks ago, but since the beginning of this digital publishing surge, it's been a (sometimes unspoken) maxim. No, actually, it's been around a long time. Way back in the day when I was a member Read more [...]
Monsters! Mormons! Not necessarily synonymous!
My editor and partner, Theric Jepson, who runs Peculiar Pages alongside my running of B10 Mediaworx, made some sort of joke on Twitter (don't remember the joke), and Wm Morris of A Motley Vision (a MoLit blog) had an idea. And the idea was to skewer the Read more [...]
Journal entry: February 3, 2007
I used to be a writer. I wrote lots of stuff. It never got published and I gave up. I just...stopped...one day. Sometimes I read what I wrote and I get a charge from it, and I catch myself wondering how the author would have finished it if she Read more [...]
