One of the things I hear the most on about The Other Man is usually about the kids. They not only lighten up the story a bit, but I’m pleased that so many people feel that they’re not only well-written, but true to form, too. Writing kids isn’t always easy.

It’s that time again! I’m back at the Mocha Memoirs Press Blog and stirring up trouble! This month it’s my turn to be put in the hot seat and respond to a writing prompt challenge from the lovely Wynelda Ann Deaver, who put up with my interview questions last month.

I haven’t forgotten that I’m due for some posts, but this has been a very taxing week all around. If you poke around or look at the sidebar, you’ll probably notice some changes.

It’s no secret that I love anthologies. There’s no better way to get a taste of many different authors at once, and I’ve discovered some great talents by picking up anthologies with titles that sound great from the library or bookstore shelf.
