Fall is coming, with cooler weather. Which I love. But it also comes with raw, dank days where a walk in the woods leads to hypothermia. For those, when you are stuck inside and have nothing to do, there is this… Inktail, Too! Paper copies of this make a healthy alternative to full size…

Bibliophilia: A Heap O’ Livin’
This book is a little different for me. I picked it up today, on the strength of the title and the attractive little volumes (I got both in first edition bindings). But even at the bookstore as I flipped through looking at the verses I was charmed with them. In my first impressions of…

Books to Read
I now have two! Two! whole novels finished and in need of revisions and edits before release. Uh. I have written myself into a corner here. Writing is fun. Editing and revising is drudgery. But in the meantime there are some fun books you could explore while you are waiting on mine. Well, technically…

I’ve Cracked up and there are Chickens Involved
So a while back an author whose social media presence often involves various critters from her farm (which I hugely enjoy) threw out an idea. Quarantine is boring. Life is stressful. We should do something. Being authors, she proposed we write. With chickens. And humor. I was all in. What came out of that…

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 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.

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
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…

The Violet Mouse is currently the top new release in short science fiction and fantasy reads. I have the best readers. You guys are awesome! I’m so tickled this story is climbing up the ranks, and honestly, I never expected a short to do this well. I was hoping to give my long-suffering and…

Bibliophilia: Encyclopedias
I don’t know about you, but I have fond memories of encyclopedia sets from a very early age. Mom and Dad had a set of World Book encyclopedias – long gone, I’m afraid. My grandmother, who I spent quite a lot of time with as a child, had a Children’s Book set that may…
