New Release: Lab Gremlins
At long last! It lives, it liiiiveess! Muahahahaaaa…. Ahem. Ladies and gentlemen, readers of all ages: if you enjoy a story with a little scary, a little silly, and some very funny moments mingled with the serious, may I present to you the novella Lab Gremlins? Some of you might have read the serialization of…

Free Novella
Ending today: free read! If you’ve already read it, do me a big favor and pass it on to someone else who’d enjoy it? Morning There was a snowflake on her eyeball. It sparkled a little as I bent over her, close, but not too close, lest I should thaw it with the warmth of…

We’ll be doing the final one in September, so if you’re interested, reach out to Sydney at 513-435-3002 to reserve a spot – for $15 you get coffee and a breakfast pastry before the…

More OPB
Other People’s Books rides again! You know, this is fun. I get to share the stories my friends create, and I feel less guilty about my glacial writing pace. Whee! I know most of my readers are here because, well, they read. So here’s to having reading noms on tap every week for y’all, while…

OPB
Other People’s Books. The marvelous thing about being an Indie is that no one (well, ok, maybe the First Reader. But only if we talk about it first) can tell me what to do. So if I want to celebrate other authors? I’m going to do it. Doesn’t matter what kind of publishing they do,…

The Invisible Book
“When you read a book, you don’t notice the paper and the ink and the glue and the stitching. All of that dissolves, and what remains is the author’s world.” –Jeff Bezos

Eat This While You Read That: Connie Elliot
In the facebook group of the titular name, I’d put out a call for published authors when I restarted ETWYRT. Several responded, and one commented that she didn’t really fit the bill. ‘Are you published?’ I asked. She was, it was just… well, it’s not fiction. It looks like fascinating non-fiction, to be honest, but…

Eat This While You Read That: Margaret Ball
A while back I noted that I had a commenter by the name of Margaret Ball. “Can’t be,” I told the First Reader. “Must be a common name.” I followed the blog link in her username and found a lovely fabric artist’s blog. “It’s not her…” I was wrong. It was indeed that Margaret Ball,…

Eat This While You Read That: George Phillies
The last time I had a recipe from George, it was a fun hot mess, not because of his snickerdoodles, but because I was baking under unusual circumstances. This recipe was a bit more pulled-together, but not by much, because… But first! You should check out George Phillies’ books. Minutegirls is my favorite, not only…

Review: Pocketful of Stars
The absolutely fun thing about Pocketful of Stars is that it’s like a matrouyshka doll. It’s got layers. You open up one, and there’s another fun face looking at you, and you open that one to see yet another… you know how this goes. I found myself chortling at some of the humor in this…

Eat This While You Read That: L A Behm II
Lloyd, who writes as LA Behm the second, which I can never remember, has a biting sense of humor I hugely enjoy in life, and in his fiction. He’s also a poet, but that’s not the book I wanted to talk about today. In the Dance Hall of the Mountain King is part of his…

In Memoriam 2: Christopher Stasheff
This, the second part of our memorial to Christopher Stasheff, is tangential to the man. It’s a measure of his legacy, which was not only the immortal books he’d written, but the children he’d raised. One of those, Edward, became a writer as well, and here my First Reader interviewed him about living in the…
