Reading, Riting, and Rithmatic
I never did understand how that was supposed to be the three R’s. They say you can’t teach spelling – or at least, not in English, the most rule-breaking language on the planet. We are the rebel speakers of the world! We enjoy breaking rules. Spelling, phonetics, grammar… you name it, we’ve left splinters in…

The Power of Free
Cross-posted from Amazing Stories Magazine Harnessing the power of free has nothing to do with that scene in Braveheart where William Wallace hollers “Freedom!” although I will admit I get a shiver down my spine when I hear it (movie has issues, but I still like it…). What it does have to do with is…

Shameless Dabbler
Hat tip to Karen Ahle for the title of today’s post. I really am a shameless dabbler. I’m not an expert in anything, but if asked, I can answer questions on a lot of topics, and have often joked I have a ‘trivial mind’ because I know a little about a lot. I’m interested in…

The comments on that post are…

I am offering Plant Life, a novella about planetary exploration, free for a limited time. I’m doing this to provide you, my reader, with a chance to sample my work as I get ready to publish a new title, and to celebrate the publication of one of my stories by Naked Reader Press on or…

Post up at ASM
This week’s post written by me is up at Amazing Stories Magazine. Covering the Topic is a brief take on the art of creating a cover for your work. If you are really interested in the topic, Mark Alger does a wonderful, in-depth exploration at his blog, starting here. He does a much better job…

The Otherwhere Gazette
Patrick Richardson was kind enough to let me guest blog over at his place, the Otherwhere Gazette. I wrote a rambling piece on my own road to self-publishing.

Writing Plans
Cross-posted from Amazing Stories and my ongoing blogging there on the art and business of writing and self-publishing. I’m really tired, and need to study, I have an exam Monday on the Nervous System and the Brain. This week has been really busy, and I’ve been falling behind in my daily wordcount. Some days I…

An Interview with Stephanie Osborn
Crossposted from Amazing Stories Mag, where I blog on Mondays. I interviewed Stephanie Osborn because I really like her Displaced Detective stories, and if you’re a Sherlock fan, you should definitely try them out! Click here for her first in the series *very* reasonably priced! Cedar Sanderson: Why do you write? Stephanie Osborn: Wow. That’s…
