It had started as an accident. Pure and simple. The ellipitical orbit of the meteor had lasted in excess of four months, during which time thousands of tonnes of debris had spewed out across more than four fifths of the world. The impending impact would spell the end of the dinosaurs. But thanks to the magical properties of the laminium ore secreted throughout the meteor, a complete fluke would give rise
The only thing on my mind this week has been time. Or, more significantly, the lack of it. How to fit everything in: looking after my kids, my job as a teaching assistant and, of course, writing. Everywhere I look, time in some way, shape or form is there staring back at me. I think I’m quite organised with the way I prioritise things, and in general make the most
A Little About You………. By day I bend the universe to my will. No, I’m not a wizard (I wish!)—I’m a chemist. I am also the Managing Member at Luna Risen LLC, a source of Art, Apparel, and Inspiration – and publisher of The Lightness of Dust. I have a bit of a stubborn streak as I’ve spent the past five or six years trying to teach myself Latin (without
Feared throughout the ages by everyone and everything, the Basilisks were always held in high regard by the dragons. Whether through fear of their incredibly toxic poison (said to be able to poison water supplies and rot fruit, vegetables and crops), their ability to kill beings with a single glance, or the fact that they were renowned strategists and tacticians, isn’t clear. What is clear is the historical importance of
A little about you……. I am an avid reader and book lover, and I am the proud owner of 5,208 books. Yes, actual books. I don’t do the eBook thing and refuse to own an eReader. I suppose it should be stated that the aforementioned collection does not include dozens of boxes stacked in the garage containing an unknown quantity of children’s and young adult books. Talk of such things
A Little About You……. I’m a novelist, poet, and playwright who will accept all pen and notebook donations anyone wants to send. I’ve had 12 books published by indie presses in 4 years, including the bestselling “Rabbits in the Garden” and the soon to be re-released “Song of Eidolons.” Song of Eidolons, rereleased by eTreasures Publishing April 2012 A Little About Your Writing……. I write anything under the speculative fiction
A Little About You……… I am a wife and mother of two plus a very needy Brittany Spaniel. My world consists of volunteering at my children’s school, keeping everyone on schedule, tutoring writing students, writing book reviews and . . . I know there is something else I do, now if I could just remember what it is. Oh yeah! I’m an author who needs more time to write. A
A Little About You………. Ages ago, I used to be a radio reporter and on-air personality. Now I work in the PR and marketing field in addition to writing. I’ve lived in Columbus, Ohio for well over a dozen years and I’ve been involved in a writing group for just about all of it. My wife and I have two kids, both boys. My poetry, flash and short fiction have
A Little About You………. I grew up on the West Coast of the US—a place with moderate weather, microclimates, microbrews, and fairly laidback folk—none of which has seeped into my psyche. I’m an above average artist, pseudo highbrow, and with one mind in the gutter. I’m a better poet than fiction writer, would probably be happier as a multimedia sculptor, and love to read despite my learning disorder(s). I grew
A Little About You…….. I am a publisher and graphic designer in charge of the day-to-day operations of Raw Dog Screaming Press (fringe fiction) and its imprints Dog Star Books (Science fiction/Adventure), Guide Dog Books (non-fiction) and Imaginary Books (children’s). I’m not really a writer and usually stick to editing and layout when it comes to books. However, when we founded our children’s imprint I came across a fabulous painter
