The Doubting Writer Finds His Voice

Weekend Update: Congratulations to my Friends!

A long, long time ago, I started poking around the internet, looking for writing stuff: places that could help me improve as a writer, places that would give me information on where I could publisher–err, try to publish–the couple of short stories I had sweated out, and what to do about the ideas that were […]

Author Interview: Carrie Butler

I’m pleased to have Carrie Butler with us today. Carrie was one of my first followers, and her blog, So, You’re A Writer, has long-been a place I go to learn and laugh—and, on occasion, talk about hockey.

Thompson officially made the jump from ‘aspiring writer’ to ‘published author’ last week when her thriller, TheMistaken (Sapphire Star Publishing), hit the streets.  “Obsessed with revenge following the violent death of his pregnant wife, Tyler Karras pledges the woman […]

Carrie Butler’s Cover: STRENGTH

Carrie Butler, of So, You’re a Writer has a book coming out, and today is cover release day! She was one of my first followers, and she’s a hockey fan to boot, so how could I pass up the opportunity to help out? I couldn’t. So, here’s the deal on Strength: When college student Rena […]
