We’re back with my friend C Bryan Brown today! His post on writing prompts was so well received that I thought I’d bring back the author interview to see what he had to say about the writing process, genre fiction, and the industry in general. I was not disappointed… A note about this whole interviewing … More Author Interview: C Bryan Brown
I’ve been part of some really great genre discussions lately, so I want to make sure to share that for all the writerly types out there. And yes, I apparently do live on Sean Taylor’s blog in my off time. Last week’s roundtable involved Cross Genre writing, and since this is totally my jam, I … More Genre Writing: discussions and articles

I’ve mentioned it before, but sometimes I get life affirmation in the weirdest ways, usually through music. I get a lot of this is probably because I’m focused on certain things anyway, and some is probably coincidence. Still, some experiences are just weird, like the universe has had enough and is pointedly clearing it’s throat … More Smart-Ass Universe: Let it Be
I’ve been reading a lot of autobiographies lately, and one of the things I like is when you really get insight into the personality you’re reading about. While I love reading about people’s experiences, it’s extra nice if you can get glimpses of their nature or little things and quirks that make them tick. Same … More SJ in five quirks
So mid-May a friend and I saw the Welcome to Night Vale live show, and it was fabulous. Like so much in fandom, the actual act/product/thing was/is wonderful, but there are always other parts of the evening that round it out, and those can go either way. The venue was nice enough, though the staff … More Fandom Friday: Welcome to Night Vale…Except For You.
I’ve mentioned before that I have a voracious love of nonfic titles. One of my favorite things is to go through the new arrivals section of the library and see what I can find, which can lead to some fabulous and interesting discoveries. I do feel like with autobios and memoirs, it really is personal … More Reading with SJ: Nonfiction
I’ve started the unthinkable this week. I’m hardcore trying to organize my life. This may not seem like much, but those who know me know that this is the equivalent of me training for the olympics or attempting to fly to the moon with the power of my own arms. Of all the Virgo traits … More Don’t read Indie?
Time now for our look into a new title that’ll be coming soon this week! I feel inept writing sci-fi, myself, so I’m always in awe of people who can not only write it, but are confident enough to get it published! Plus, check out that cover! I love the Brit comedy As Time Goes … More Cover Reveal: Population Morpheus by S.G. Basu
It’s interesting that now that I’ve committed to getting back into reading, I’m slurping down titles like water. Lucky you, you get to share it all with me! Admittedly graphic novels and comics are really easy reads for me. I’m that obnoxious person that will check out ten volumes of manga at a time and … More Reading with SJ: Graphic Novels, Manga, and Comics #2
