Take a tour of The Tower

by JoslynChase in New Release, Publishing, Suspense

Two years ago, I lived in the quaint and beautiful village of Burglengenfeld in Bavaria. There, the pace of life was slower, the surroundings harkening back to an Old World charm that I found utterly enchanting. During that time, an editor that I sometimes worked with suggested an opening line for a story that set […]

An overlooked art form worth looking at

by JoslynChase in Free Stuff, Publishing, Reading, Writing

These days, time seems shorter than ever, crammed full with work, errands, chores, activities, workouts, and so much more. Our attention spans are short, conditioned by tweets, snippets, Facebook posts, text messages, and the like. It seems logical, then, that readers would embrace short stories as a sound solution to the time issue. But short […]

Frightfully fantastic, full of fun, and far beyond fundamental

by JoslynChase in Challenges, Learning, Publishing, Travel, Writing

Remember that moment in Star Wars when the Millennium Falcon suddenly goes into hyperdrive? Fantastic enough to be hurtling through space, but lightspeed acceleration bumped it up into a whole new, epic dimension. Translated into writing terms, that’s what I just experienced over the last eight days. I was lucky enough to be included in […]

I’m opening a new chapter in my book of learning

by JoslynChase in Challenges, Learning, Publishing, Writing

As a result of my chance meeting with Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Dean Wesley Smith, and Shawn Coyne,  I took a different route on my journey to becoming a published author–one I never thought I’d tread. Seen from my position on low ground, it appeared utterly unachievable by someone like me. “It always seems impossible until […]

A chance meeting that changed my life

by JoslynChase in Challenges, Learning, Publishing, Writing

Have you ever noticed how often life-changing events sneak in under our radar… cozying up and sinking in roots while our attention is distracted with details of lesser import? Back in 2012, somewhere behind my conscious endeavors, my writer’s life did a one-eighty and I didn’t even realize it until the last months of 2016. […]
