October 18, 2016 No Comments on Creature Feature – Knock, Knock by Tay Laroi
In the few short decades of its existence, the Internet has become a staple of society and revolutionized how we do just about everything: the way we shop, the way we talk, the way we meet people, and the way we travel, just to name a few. Most surprisingly, it’s changed the way we scare others as well as ourselves…. Read more »
Through the Eyes of a Camera: Photography and Description (Inspiration Investigation: Free)
Growing up I was an absolute menace with a camera. Every museum, every landscape, every EVERYTHING was captured on film. I still have an old photo album from when I was a kid and a third of those images are of random city streets. Another third are of clouds and animals. The rest are friends and family members in mid-motion. Once… Read more »
Ishtar Rides Again by Bob Boze (Inspiration Investigation – Film)
A quick diversion if I may. What I think you will love about this series is that Tay, Ash and I are very different. We think differently. We were raised differently. We write in different genres. We live in different areas of the country. We have different likes and dislikes. We are not ALL female. (Hee hee.) I know… Read more »
Animated Magic: Joy and Fiction by Tay Laroi (Inspiration Investigation Series – Film)
I lived off a steady diet of cartoons growing up. Disney, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Dream Works, Don Bluth, Studio Ghibli, and probably more I don’t remember. If it was animated, odds are I watched it or at least knew about it. I liked plenty of live-action stuff too—I watched Jumanji a million times, despite the nightmares, and Disney Channel… Read more »

When you first become a writer the first piece of advice you hear is, “Read!” After you’ve been at it for a few years, maybe have a few pieces published, maybe not, the most common piece of advice is still “Read!” Read inside your genre. Read outside your genre. Read style guides and how-to books. Read the classics. Read pop-literature…. Read more »

June 21, 2016 No Comments on Wanna get free books?
If you’re anything like me, when it comes to your book purchases, you could almost break the bank if you aren’t careful. Although I’ll probably never be able to read them all, I find myself unable to not take full advantage of free books. Yes, that’s what I said, free books!!! Many authors will offer their typically full-priced books for… Read more »
Editing and Proofreading by A. Fae and Jason Bradley
Although I’ve never personally emptied my bank account on self-publishing a book – not yet anyhow – I have to say that there has to be a line where expenses just can’t be cut: editing and/or proofreading. Sure, I know the cover is important, as are promotional activities and the like; however, if you spend your entire budget on those… Read more »
how to…Balance the Show, Don’t Tell Rule by Kristen Kieffer

What exactly am I talking about? The Show, Don’t Tell rule. High five to you if you guessed where I was headed!

The main difference between these companies is fees. Some have different packages for publishing with different fees, and others allow the author to publish digital books for free, and then retain a… Read more »

Stop Laughing! Child Maltreatment is a Disturbing and Serious Matter by Robert Eggleton
Rarity from the Hollow is an adult literary science fiction novel filled with tragedy, comedy and satire that sensitizes readers to the world-wide social problem of child maltreatment. “…The author has managed to do what I would have thought impossible; taken serious subjects like poverty, ignorance, abuse, and written about them with tongue-in-cheek humor without trivializing them. In fact,… Read more »
How to Make the Not-So-Evil Villain Work For Your Story by Stephanie Morrill
It was after school, and I was half-heartedly stretching for drill team practice when the girl beside me, Hannah, said, “Don’t you think you’re being mean to Jodi?” I had never really talked to Hannah before, but she had recently become friends with my best friend, Jodi. And apparently my best friend had been sharing some less-than-flattering things about me…. Read more »
