One of the things I love about being a writer is learning through research. And then getting to share this new knowledge with others in the form of a story. Being instinctively interested in myth and cultural superstition, I'm going to go ahead and share some tidbits I recently learned about...

Stepping out of my genre
Not long ago my agent presented me with a challenge I wasn’t sure I could accept. Parties I cannot name here decided to assemble an anthology to commemorate the 50th anniversary of The Twilight Zone TV show. She said they wanted to get this thing into bookstores in a hurry...
