When bad publishers attack… again…
It’s not a big secret that every now and then a publisher pops up that seems to be good at the outset and then flounders like a fish out of water, gasping for air before flopping to a ‘orrible death. We’ve seen a lot of these on the Absolute Write forum, mostly because of the […]
Why you shouldn’t listen to me…
November 3, 2011
Every once in a while I get asked for writing advice, either in RL or in Second Life where I run around as a tiny clockwork dragon and hang out in steampunk sims. And I have the same answer for both lives – don’t ask me for writing advice! Why? Because I’m not one to […]
Beware of False Profits, or, Ramblings of an Old Dragon Broad
August 19, 2010
Today I feel the urge to discuss, or at least toss out my views on, the Imminent Death Of Print Publishing. Yeah, again. *stifles yawn* I remember, a thousand years ago when computers first crept onto the scene. The VIC20, with 20K of memory. Really. 20K. No one knew how to use that much memory! […]
Another day…
May 25, 2010
While I’m waiting for another round of edits on “Wild Cards and Iron Horses”, let me rant a bit about television writing. Spoilers below, so run away! Fringe: Oh, NO, you did NOT go there. Really? If FauxOlivia doesn’t get found out within the first two eps, I’m done with you. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy writing! […]
Where I ranteth…
May 3, 2010
It’s a lovely day outside, I’m working on BoG 2, and all’s right with the world. Until, of course, my Twitter/Facebook feed picks up the latest posting from an avowed self-publishing advocate. “Screw the publishers! Put your work up on Amazon and make money! I have! You can! Why give those nasty New York people […]
We could be heroes…
April 20, 2010
One of my earliest memories is of running down the narrow hall in our apartment, my blanket tied around my neck and flying out behind me as I leapt into the air, prepared to take flight. I broke two toes. And didn’t quite get the altitude I planned. At least, that’s what my mother tells […]
If you just can’t wait…

… to get your hands on "Blaze of Glory" and don’t want to miss the release date… Pre-orders are NOW being accepted at Amazon! Why miss getting this into your inbox as soon as it comes out in six weeks? You know you want to… And, in case you need a refresher on what’s going […]
Good Grief!
November 28, 2009
Just got a publishing nibble on my steampunk western novel, “Spring Cleaning”. You know, the one I’m working through another draft of, since I tend to blitz through writing the book and then go back and put more flesh on dem dere bones. You know, the one I was working on before I go for […]
Harlequin Horizons… yep, that.
November 23, 2009
If you haven’t been keeping up with the latest scandal in the literary world, here’s it in a nutshell. Harlequin entered into an agreement with Author Solutions to stick a vanity press branch off of their publishing tree. If you get rejected by Harlequin, you’ll get a nice referral to Harlequin Horizons in your rejection […]
