It’s First Wednesday, so it’s time for another IWSG Post! July 6 question – If you could live in any book world, which one would you choose? I’ve been puzzling over this for a few days & this is a damn hard question! I think my final answer will have to be the Star Trek…
I found a new(-ish) show on Amazon that looked interesting. Sissy Spacek & JK Simmons star as an elderly (when did we all get old?) couple with a secret … underneath their shed is a capsule that transports anyone who enters to a room on another planet. The show is a little slow to start,…
OK I know I just finished Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe but when I find an author I like, I’m like a Netflix binge-watcher. I devour their backlist. I’ve read South of the Buttonwood Tree & The Lights of Sugarberry Cove already, and am looking for more by this author. Each of the books has…
It’s First Wednesday, so that means another Insecure Writer’s Support Group post! June 1 question – When the going gets tough writing the story, how do you keep yourself writing to the end? If have not started the writing yet, why do you think that is and what do you think could help you find…
This is the first in a (maybe) series of “What Would You Do?” creative exercises I’m thinking about. Today, I’ll explore the first five things I’d do if I won the lottery (or at least a million dollars). Of course, the Number One item would be to hire an accountant to advise me on how…
This is a novel by Heather Webber that I’d classify as fantasy/women’s fiction. I’ll be looking for more from this author because I’m enjoying this book. The main heroine in this book has moved to a tiny town in the Alabama mountains to see to her beloved grandmother’s effects after her death. One of the…
It’s that time of the month again — time for the Insecure Writer’s Support Group Post! May 4 question – It’s the best of times; it’s the worst of times. What are your writer highs (the good times)? And what are your writer lows (the crappy times)? My “highs” are when the words are flowing…
Of course, I’m not going to be recommending romance movies on a sci-fi blog. But according to me and Rotten Tomatoes, here are a few classic sci-fi movies everyone should see at least once. There are many, many more great movies out there, and just because your favorite didn’t make my list doesn’t mean it’s…
A friend of mine recommended a mystery series with a golden retriever. I’m not a huge fan of doggie books, but I checked the author out and noticed he also had a series set in Hawaii – one of my favorite states! Mahu is the Hawaiian word for a homosexual, and Kimo Kanapa’aka is one.…
It’s time for another Insecure Writer’s Support Group Post! April 6 question – Have any of your books been made into audio books? If so, what is the main challenge in producing an audiobook? I have never made any of my books into audiobooks. It’s just a little out of my price range. I think…
