The Hands We’re Given Audio – O.E. Tearman

by
The Hands We're Given audio - O.E. Tearmann

My dear friend O.E. Tearmann stops by to share their awesome dystopian sci fi series, Aces High Jokers Wild, and book one – “The Hands We’re Given” – on audio: Looking for a listen? How’s sex, drones, and rock and roll?  This MM romance/dystopian series will take you on a wild ride. Buckle up. Aidan Headly never wanted to be the man giving orders. That’s fine with the Democratic State Force base he’s been assigned to command: they don’t like to take orders. Nicknamed the Wildcards, they used to be the most effective base against the seven Corporations owning the … Read more

The End - Pixabay

Twenty-four years ago this month, I sent out my first novel – “On a Shoreless Sea” – to ten New York sci fi publishers. And twenty-three years ago, also this month, my nascent writing career came to an abrubt end. I knew I wanted to be a writer when I was nine years old and read The Lord of the Rings the first time. When I was a young adult, I had the idea for a world that would bridge the gap between sci fi and fantasy, offering a sci fi premise and a fantasy feel like some of my … Read more

I’m not a good waiter. Two weeks ago, I submitted my latest novel, “Dropnauts,” to an online contest called Pitch Wars.

ANNOUNCEMENT/GIVEAWAY: A Thousand Lifetimes, by Kate Hawthorne

by
A Thousand Lifetimes

Kate Hawthorne has a new MM paranormal romance out: “A Thousand Lifetimes.” My name is Ezra Clarke, and I’m twenty-three. Forever. If you’re counting in vampire years, I’m actually two-hundred and eight, and if living that long has taught me anything, it’s that nothing lasts forever. And that’s been fine. It’s… whatever. I’ve never wanted anything that long, anyway, which is why I’ve never taken a mate, but that all changed when I met Declan Byrne. He’s young, handsome, and he doesn’t do what I tell him to. He smells like cinnamon and has eyes that remind me of the … Read more

POINT OF VIEW: When the Word is the Story

by

I’ve always had a fascination with words. Duh, right? It’ one of the prerequisites for being a writer, just like a love of the law is for being a lawyer, and a love of art is for the artist. But recently, I’ve found a new, more specific use for this logofile obsession of mine – turning a word into a story. One of the questions many of my writer friends hate the most is “where do you get your ideas?” My friend Angel’s flippant response is that she buys them wholesale at an idea emporium. Their disdain is understandable – … Read more
