The Shoreless Sea

Anne Barwell reviewed “The Shoreless Sea”: “As with all the books I’ve read by this author, the world building is fabulous, and well thought out… The plot kept me turning pages, and I particularly liked the strong connection to the history of Forever… This story reminds me of why I enjoy science fiction, and I found it a very satisfying ending to a great series.

POINT OF VIEW: Taking a (Little) Break

I am a big believer of listening to what the universe is telling me. I didn’t like what I heard this last month. I entered the Pitch Wars contest, confident that I had an amazing manuscript, one that would make heads turn. I chose my four potential mentors carefully, even finding one team who was looking for exactly what I was pitching, and who had a local member. I went to an agent pitch training session at our local writer’s club, and tailored the perfect pitch. And when the clock struck midnight on submission day, I submitted it all right … Read more

Wicked Faeries - The Shoreless Sea

TheMore reviews streamed in this last week.

POINT OF VIEW: Art & History

by
art

When I was in high school, I loved my art classes. I took pottery and jewelry, and learned to paint, sketch and use charcoals. I helped paint a mural at our school – well, I painted the white frame on a “poloroid” photo, anyhow. And I even won an award for a piece of jewelry I created in my sophomore year. I always enjoyed making art, but I never felt a calling to be an artist. When I came out, I lost two things in a bad break-up with my girlfriend – my comic book collection and my art. I’m … Read more
