Happy Fourth! Today we’re joined by L.J. LaBarthe. What is your worst habit? Your best one? Procrastination. I think I’m a master at it. If I can put off something I don’t want to do, I’ll find a reason to make that happen. As for best… hm. I’ve been told I’m too generous sometimes, so …
I’m back from my road trip! It was a big one. My older daughter (who just graduated high school) came with me, and we traveled through 10 states: California, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. We drove almost 4500 miles. At one point, we slept in a different state every night, six …
Today’s player is Aisling Mancy–with a free story! One of your characters comes to you for advice. Who is it, what does he ask, and what do you tell him? I have two characters pelting me with questions at the moment. Candelario (the wraith) from Aeromancer (WIP with betas), asks: Is it possible for a …
Today’s player is A.D. Ellis! You’ve just met an alien from a planet where there’s no such thing as fiction writing. Explain to him/her/it/them why humans read made-up stories. I would have the alien describe to me all of the mundane, painful, and difficult things beings on his planet have to deal with on a …
My older kid and I have just embarked on a road trip. You can follow it on Twitter and Instagram. Wyoming! Nebraska! South Dakota! Ten states in all. And I have a new release. “Corruption” originally appeared in the Of Heaven and Hell anthology, but now you can buy it as a standalone. All proceeds …
Today’s player is Jamie Samms! What is your least favorite thing about California? Its distance from Northern Ontario. A few of my very favourite people live there, and I’d love to be closer to them, if I could. Describe a really bad decision you once made. A lot of bad choices I’ve made over the …
Please welcome Tanya Chris! Paper or plastic? I have reusable bags, but if I’m only buying a couple of items, I’ll get a plastic bag because I use them for scooping kitty poop into when I clean the litter box. What is your favorite insect? Spiders get a bad rap. They eat flies and mosquitos …
Please welcome Pat Henshaw, today’s player! You can eat only one ice cream flavor for the rest of your life. Which is it? Chocolate chip Cherries Garcia. And, yes, I know I made that up. But it’s for the rest of my life, so I’m calling special priviledges. You have just won a lifetime supply …
It’s been a busy few weeks. The end of May is always crazy for me anyway because it’s the end of the semester, which means exams and papers to grade and panicky students to deal with. But this year has been extra nuts. My older daughter graduated high school. Yay! Now we need to get her ready …
Please welcome today’s player, Tia Fielding! One of your characters comes to you for advice. Who is it, what does he ask, and what do you tell him? I think it might actually be Joshua from One Step Forward and the conversation would be about depression in general. After all it’s a subject we’re both …
