An independent publishing co-op
This week I’m headed up to the SAGA writing conference in Charlotte NC. Writers of all levels of experience will gather to learn from our extraordinary faculty. We’ll have pitch opportunities and peer mingling, and even a few chances to buy books. SAGA was created in response to professionals who wanted a genre based conference…

Last week, I had a scary dream. Not even a little unusual, I know. But when I woke up, the memory of the dream had sparked an idea for a short story. Now don’t get excited – I’m not saying you should rush to your desk and write all your dreams as stories. Dreams rarely…

Between this week and last week, Mother Nature decided to dump a foot of snow on top of my house. How dare she! I mean I moved down to the south to get away from the cold and snow. (Well not really, I moved south because I needed a place to live twenty- three years…
