Long before I was a writer, I was a reader. I think I was practically born reading. Even before I understood what those marks were on the pages of my picture books, I made up stories that I pretended to read. You could also argue that was writing, so I suppose I was born doing that as well. But it...

I have not been to many open-mic readings where local, aspiring writers and poetesses like myself go to hear the voices of their peers and possibly make their own noise with a reading or two. The few experiences I have had can be counted on one hand, but I'll say one thing about each that I'm sure...

Since grade school I have suffered in silence from an incurable debilitating condition, the dreaded “Writing Sickness”. It goes into remission now and again and sometimes for long periods of time, years even. Sooner or later, it comes back and when it does I spend hours shut away in my...

You know what really annoyed me when I was going through the submissions/rejections process?
Actually, it still annoys me.

I’ve written a number of horror stories over the years, a mainstream novel, and a horror suspense novel where many a number of my characters have never made it to the final page. Many of these characters died a most colorful and gruesome death. Some of those persons’ sole purpose in the story was...
