Stalking The Wild Story Idea
I’m never at a loss for story ideas. At any given time I have at least half a dozen bubbling on my back burner. On the other hand, I deal with a constant demand for more stories to feed the magazines I market to, the books I indie publish, and the stories I write as […]

Frightfully fantastic, full of fun, and far beyond fundamental

Translated into writing terms, that’s what I just experienced over the last eight days. I was lucky enough to be included in […]
Back from the coast and boy, oh boy!!
