    Eat This While You Read That: D Wayne Harbison

      When I started ETWYRT, some three or four years ago now, I was only reaching out to authors I knew and in most cases, considered friends. That has changed over the years as I have decided that this little promo series – and it is, for those of you who came here for the…

  • Jeff Duntemann’s Dreamhealer

    Jeff Duntemann’s Dreamhealer

      Jeff is a wonderful, thoughtful writer who brings a strong sense of philosophy to his work. Dreamhealer is no different – it’s the tale of a man who can enter other’s dreams, and fight their nightmares for them. Unfortunately, when the being who sends the nightmares realizes who and what he is…  I’m really…

  • Rusalka

    Rusalka

      I was stuck on the primary writing, but still needed to do my daily wordcount. So here it is, all 705 words of flash fiction that I sat down and pulled out of my head.  Rusalka  He dipped his hand into the water, and lifted it slowly back out, letting the droplets fall straight…

  • Stuff and Nonsense

    Stuff and Nonsense

      I was sitting here this morning staring at the chair next to my desk trying to come up with a good blog topic. I’d set up the prompt post over at MOTE this morning, and I was beginning to wonder if I need prompts for non-fiction writing, as well. You see jokes on social…

  • Weekend Report

    Weekend Report

      I took a couple of days away from the blog – although I did put up a post at the Mad Genius Club – because there just isn’t enough time in the two days off of my work schedule to complete all the work I need to do. I darn well tried, though!  The…

  • In my Garden

    In my Garden

      I haven’t taken the time… no, scratch that. I haven’t had the time to get out in my garden and go bug-hunting this summer. I’ll regret that this winter when I am longing for green, and crawly things, and the ability to be out of doors for any length of time. Still, I just…

  • Fairies

    Fairies

      This poem by William Allingham was shared by Tom Rogneby this morning, and I was quite taken with the imagery and enchantment of it, so I am sharing it here!  Fairies Up the airy mountain, Down the rushy glen, We daren’t go a-hunting For fear of little men; Wee folk, good folk, Trooping all…

    Publishing schedule and stuff

      So I was sitting here looking at what I’ve gotten done this year, what’s coming next, and that sort of got me thinking…  I kicked off my year with a story for Valentine’s Day in Hearts’ Enchantment.  The was followed by a sword-and-sorcery tale in When Valor Must Hold  in March 2020 Release of…

    Eat This While You Read That: Bokerah Brumley

      Bokerah’s got a new book out, and what better way to explore her book about searching for a lost book than by sitting down, reading, and munching tabouli (tabbouleh? So many spellings!). Grab a copy of The Book of Power, and get ready for dragons, jinns, and a search for a book that may…

  • A History with Coffee

    A History with Coffee

      I’m drinking my coffee black this morning. It’s not too bad this way. Usually, I have cream in it. If I could eat anything I liked, I’d have cocoa in it. Which reminds me that I bought cacao nibs and need to figure out how to brew drinking chocolate…  My lifelong flirtation with the…

  • Bibliophilia: Sanders’ Reader

    Bibliophilia: Sanders’ Reader

      My grandmother gave me this book, and today as I was contemplating the subject for my next post on the love of books, it stuck out at me. Particularly so when I re-read her note on it, describing where it came from and what it had been used for. I used to collect antique…

  • Dialog

    Dialog

      You don’t realize how much your characters talk until you have to verbally affirm all the necessary punctuation. My characters talk, like, a lot. Chatty blokes. I’m seriously wondering if I can get away with a lot more description of setting, or something because man!  I’m dictating on my commute for the bulk of…
