New Writing Bundle
NanoWriMo Writing Bundle… Every year Kevin J. Anderson puts together a fantastic bundle of writing books through Storybundle.com. And this year, in my opinion, he outdid any other year. I have read or looked at most of the books in this group, and I know a lot of the authors, and folks, this bundle is a real deal. Craig Martelle from the 20to50 conferences has a book in here. Joanna Pen, Kevin McLaughline, Blaze Ward, Jamie j. Ferguson, Simon Haynes, and Andrea Pearson to name just a few. Plus Kris has a great book and Kevin and Rebecca teamed up to write one as well. And, of course, I got…

The SF Plot Twist Bundle and Nifty Picture and Challenge
Tonight I Had Dinner With Some Writers… Here I go, headed into year seven with this blog. Tonight, Chris York, Steve York, Dan Duval, and I went out to dinner as I got ready to head out of town and Chris York wore a tee-shirt from 23 years ago. You see, Kris and I needed a ton of help 23 years ago to move to the coast. So our friends who helped got special tee-shirts that said, “What is worse than getting rejected by two magazines? Moving Them!” I was editing the first incarnation of Pulphouse and Kris was the editor of F&SF 23 years ago. How Chris York found…

Wow, What A Mystery Bundle!!
Man Did I Get Lucky… I am in a storybundle.com called The Femme Fatale bundle. Award-winning mystery writer O’Neil De Noux curated this bundle and has some amazing novels and writers in this one. Libby Fisher Hellman, Lawrence Block, and Kristine Kathryn Rusch, to name just three major writers. And trust me, The Perfect Man by Kris is unlike any book you have ever read. And no way to ever go wrong with Grandmaster Lawrence Block. Now add in major mystery writers like Thomas Pluck and Julie Smith and this is a home run of a bundle. Wait! There is even more. O’Neil put in one of his fantastic New…

I Curated THE UNIVERSE BETWEEN Bundle
THE UNIVERSE BETWEEN BUNDLE Just Launched… The Universe Between Bundle I curated this bundle and I had great fun with it. I grew up on Twilight Zone back in the late 1950s and through the early 1960s. I can’t begin to tell you how many times I heard the sentence, “In the middle ground between light and shadow…” in that opening sequence to the Twilight Zone. Thankfully, my parents didn’t seem to mind that I watched that show every week. And for some reason that sentence out of the opening sequence stuck with me for my entire life. I loved living in that middle ground. All my writing falls in the middle ground…

Star Fall Is Out
Star Fall Is Out. That’s right. Remember the novel I finished about two weeks ago? Star Fall: A Seeders Universe Novel? Remember, I wanted to write it in seven days and failed to ten days? (grin) That book is now available as I promised it would be. The official publication date isn’t until November, but at the moment it is available in a fantastic bundle called The Extreme Science Fiction Bundle. Also notice that in this bundle there is a fantastic Retrieval Artist novel called Extremes by Kris. And also an amazing volume of Fiction River: Risk Takers. I edited that and it is a fantastic example of a Fiction River volume.…

Some Fantastic Writing Books!
Writing Bundle Folks, there is a new writing bundle that just started with ten writing books. Two are mine. Another by Kris, another by Lawrence Block, another by Gerald Weinberg, another by JoAnna Penn, and so on. Trust me, you don’t want to miss this one.
