AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT: Erik Schubach

by
Erik Schubach

Welcome to my weekly Author Spotlight. I’ve asked a bunch of my author friends to answer a set of interview questions, and to share their latest work. Today, Erik Schubach – I got my start writing novels by accident. I have always been drawn to strong female characters in books, like Honor Harrington. And I also believe that there is a lack of LGBT characters in media. So one day I came up with a story idea that combines the two… two days later I completed the manuscript for Music of the Soul. Giveaway: Erik is giving away an audiobook … Read more

Teaser – “The Stark Divide”

by
The Stark Divide banner

Hey all… My next book, the epic sci fi tale “The Stark Divide”, releases on 10/10 and is available for preorder now. Here’s an excerpt from the third part of the book: Davian climbed inside the little Moonjumper, and Eddy followed him, closing the door behind him and sealing it. They ran through the preflight check Eddy had written out for them. Not that they could do much about it if things didn’t check out. They knocked things off their improvised checklist, with Eddy calling things off one by one. “Seal door.” “Check.” “Confirm cabin pressure.” “Check.” “Test ventilation system.” … Read more

POINT OF VIEW: Too Many Damned People

by

I have a problem. My friend Tam Ames recently asked us to name our worst bad writing habit as a band name. I came uo with this: “Too Many People in This Damned Book.” I love writing multiple point of views. I mean, like throw it down on the bed and make crazy love to it love. When I’ve tried to write from just one, which is most often the case for a short story, I feel confined. I love to bounce a situation between two characters, and see how they handle it from each of their POV’s. I blame … Read more

POINT OF VIEW: Chocolate or Bust

by
Chocolate

Hey all… This week is all about writing motivation. 🙂 I have, give or take, about two and a half months to finish my next novel, at least to the first draft stage. It’s do-able, though it’s a month less than I thought I had originally – long story there. But what it means is that I have to sit my butt down in the chair every single day to write, and for a good, solid chunk of time. I am a master procrastinator. As a writer, that probably goes without saying LOL. I can put something off for days … Read more
