Today's Featured Member

I've featured vampire novelist and fiction podcaster extraordinaire Emerian Rich. She'll be on the Meet an Author show today so don't miss her - she's a great reader, great fun, and gives great tips on how to podcast your fiction, build a following and make that step into print. Should be a fun show and after show chat.

f' you (not you guys)

My phone has rung now 3 nights in a row.

Really? Nothing warrants calling me. I am 24 hours
away from home at best. If my house is on fire well
it will have burned down or not by then. Someone dying? Well they

And cooked up for sensitve sorts?

Being offended is a mirror,
Not a reason why others should change,
Being offended suggests one is uptight,
And one has other people's faults in range.

So, as a result of this en… Continue
