Every spring, daffodils bloom in a corner of my yard near where a house used to be. Once in a while a chunk of the old foundation or a piece of netting from a screen door turns up beside those flowers, but the house was torn down thirty years ago, and it was unlived-in for [...]

Musings: Accepting Your Unique Writing Process
Some writers work fast. Some writers work slow. Very slow. There’s a lot of pressure in the writing/publishing world to write on at least a book a year pace. There’s pressure from readers, too, as we can see from the way some readers bemoan the length of time they have to wait for George R.R. [...]

Musings: Writing Through Tragedy
Writing through tragedy…I’ve tried to write this post a dozen times. It’s a hard process to write about because it’s a hard thing to do. It’s been said before that writing through personal tragedy can be theraputic, even if you can’t use these pieces for publication. And agents caution against sending them your tragically-inspired but [...]

Musings
Author Websites It’s done. Or is it? I’ve had a lot to think about in redesigning my site, spent several months researching what I wanted and how I wanted to do it, and I’ve come to realize that Dan Gillmor is right when he says in Mediactive, “You’ll never be finished…Your home base will always [...]

New Excerpts and Coming Changes
To avoid any ado… 1.) I’ll be pulling the old Hex excerpt from this site and replacing it with what you’ll see below. 2.) Accompanying this switching of excerpts, a few changes will be coming to this blog and site. At one time, I blogged quite a bit, but since my blogging has dwindled, I’m modifying the [...]

Ponderisms, New Stuff, and Congratulations
Behold: I have decided to pull Hex from submission. I received some sage personal feedback from two agents and form rejections from all the rest, and I realize that Hex just isn’t ready yet. I love this story. I believe in this story. I know, really and truly know, that this is a story worthy [...]

Spies
I’ve been wondering how one goes about becoming a spy. Do they major in espionage in college? Do they go to job fairs? Do they have resumes? And what about their employers? Do they post openings on Career Builder? Put signs up outside their offices? “Now Hiring Spies. Apply Inside.” I wonder how one is [...]

New Writing Gig
After spending a very enjoyable year writing for Debuts and Reviews, I was sad to see it go. The URL still houses a wonderful blog, but the reviews are pretty much gone, and with them my outlet for writing about the sort of books I love. But a new opportunity has arisen: I will now [...]

Spring Reading
For March, April, and May. This is a long one… You know how you get in the mood for a book with a particular atmosphere or setting, so when you find one, you grab it even though it doesn’t look like something you’ll like? That’s how I ended up reading The Warrior by Kinley MacGregor. [...]
