Don’t you love it? The artist, Ana Winson, always seems to design the perfect cover for the book. She explained that the light wolf stands for good and the dark wolf for evil. The spirit shape in the middle is key to the story, but you’ll have to read it to find out why. Here’s […]
By Evelyn David My muse has taken a hike – like in the Himalayas. I’ve lost my MoJo, my ability to create murder and mayhem at will. It’s not that I can’t think of delightful ways to kill off villains – in real life and fictionally. But it seems I have misplaced my ability to […]
By Laura Spinella Are you a writer who sets goals? I know lots of writers do this: daily word count goals, drop-dead date goals, NaNoWriMo inspirational goals. Right now, I’m more about the let-me-get-to-November-without-my-head-exploding goal. I’m seven weeks out from pub date, and if you’re an author, I don’t need to say any more. But […]

I had a completely different post planned for today but after reading Marilyn’s yesterday, I got to thinking about the topic. People often ask me how I get so much done which interestingly, sends me into a tailspin of guilt and self-doubt because to me, I’m not getting nearly as much done as I would […]
People ask me that question all the time, in person and online, and frankly, I don’t think I do nearly as much as some. One reason people think I do a lot is because I post what I’m planning to do nearly every day on Facebook. I’m not doing this to impress people, but to […]
