Reading Manuscripts…
Getting Ready for the Anthology Workshop Next Week… I really love reading all the stories, especially since I am reading them as the editor of Pulphouse. All the stories were written for FictionRiver anthologies, but I am reading them as well in hopes the editor of the anthology doesn’t like a story I like. Great fun!! And for those who backed the Pulphouse Kickstarter, the August guidelines for the story have been sent out. If you missed it, check your spam filter and if not there and you are a backer, go to the Kickstarter, the August rules are there. Looking forward to reading those stories in September. And remember,…

Long Day Ends Well!!
I Love It When That Happens… Kris and I had a very long Monday for business reasons too stupid to ever talk about. So by the time dinner came around, I was ready for the planned pizza at Good Pie in the Arts District here in Vegas. We met an old friend from the old science fiction convention days, Steven Silver, who was visiting in town and the conversations were great. And fun. And of course the pizza was fantastic. TWO GREAT NEW IN-PERSON CRAFT CLASSES… Both taught by Kristine Kathryn Rusch. I wanted to repost this to make sure everyone saw it with the Anthology Workshop in one…

New In-Person Classes
TWO GREAT NEW IN-PERSON CRAFT CLASSES… Both taught by Kristine Kathryn Rusch. I wanted to repost this to make sure everyone saw it with the Anthology Workshop in one week. The fact that we announced the next Anthology Workshop in August of 2026, we got a bunch of questions about the next in-person craft workshops taught by Kris. So Kris and I felt it was time to announce those as well so people can make travel plans and such. We already have one scheduled in January for Space Opera, taught by Kris and held at the Resorts World here in Las Vegas. That has one spot remaining. (Write me for…

With the Anthology Workshop in just under two weeks, and the fact that we announced the next Anthology Workshop in August of 2026, we got a bunch of questions about the next in-person craft workshops taught by Kris.

Great Forgotten Workshop Sale
GREAT BUNDLE SALE STILL ON… I got so busy with the Pulphouse Subscription Drive Kickstarter, (Thank you everyone!!) I forgot to shut off the Great Bundle sale. I said the day before the Kickstarter that the Great Bundle Sale Extended to Any Class on Teachable instead of only bundles. Not just bundles, but any class. But it was supposed to be for only one dy… Well, seems like that day stretched into ten days. (grin) I got distracted for some reason. And a few writers noticed and took advantage of it still going on. The great forgotten workshop sale… sigh… So to be fair, we are going to extend the…

My Blog Streak!!
Started a Year After My Friend Died… In August of 2011, my best friend, Bill Trojan died of a massive heart attack on the last day of the World Science Fiction Convention. I was in charge of his estate and I spent 9 months getting that under control. (A full book of stories in those statements.) Then I tried to get back to writing. I had been blogging at times on my web site and also before that on the Star Trek writer web site. But I needed a focus and I was also doing a little teaching and was about ready to start up Smith’s Monthly Magazine. So on…
