What Changes Once You’re Contracted?
Guest Blogger: Nadine Brandes Reading the words, “I want to offer you a contract for this book and its sequel, at least,” from Jeff Gerke, former owner and publisher of Marcher Lord Press, was one of the most heart-stopping and joyful moments of my life. Answering “yes” to my top-choice publishing house was laughably easy. […]

ACFW Top 10 Recap
First, I want to apologize for forgetting to post last Monday. I had planned to write up a “What Going on at ACFW” post on Saturday or Sunday night, but it didn’t happen. If you’ve ever been to one of these large conferences, you already know how mentally and physically draining they can be. By […]

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m one of the lucky few […]

You can view it right here. I agree wholeheartedly, although some may think I’m biased. Well, aren’t we all? I shared […]
A Thumbscrew Review: A Star Curiously Singing, by Kerry Nietz
I suppose the first thing you noticed is that I’ve decided to give a title to my reviews. Why not? Diane has her Anvil Reviews. My title does have some significance though. I tend to be hyper-critical when reviewing. It’s a mixture of OCD, perfectionism, and honesty. I’ve been that way for years…and I don’t […]
My ink and paper daughter
It must have been fifth grade when I began my writing journey. I was really into this NES game called Dragon Warrior. It was your standard medieval fantasy with blobs, wyverns, and other assorted monsters that need to be fought on a -Fight- -Run- -Spell- -Item- turn based system in stunning 8 bit graphics.
