Alethea Kontis: What’s the best thing about writing? Jessica Arnold: Writing is absolute power. If you end a story with “and then they all got hit by a bus,” that’s exactly what happens. Life may be complicated and restrictive, but when you write up a new world, you set your own rules. You can truly let your imagination run…
Our MoAA subject today is Eugene (E.C.) Myers. Yes, THAT Eugene Myers, the one who stole this year’s Andre Norton Award right out from under my nose (and Leah’s nose, and Sarah’s nose, and Jenn’s nose…). But here’s the thing, Mom — you can’t hate Eugene, because he’s a really awesome guy. We became really good friends in about…
Today, MoAA is proud to present YA author Lea Nolan! ******************* Alethea Kontis: What’s the best thing about writing? Lea Nolan: Making stuff up! In my other life, I’m a part-time health policy researcher and college instructor, which requires precision and very strict attention to details in law and policy. Borrrring! Trust me, it’s much more fun to create…
Today, MoAA is proud to present author Fran Wilde! *************************** Alethea Kontis: What’s the best thing about writing? Fran Wilde: Being swept up by the story. AK: What’s the worst thing about writing? FW: Distractions. AK: Finish this sentence: “Writing is like…” FW: Writing is like painting a mural while running a marathon, while baking a pie, all while…
Today, MoAA is proud to present my friend from Heroes*Con, artist Del Hewitt Jr.! ********************* Alethea Kontis: What’s your preferred medium? Delbert Hewitt, Jr: My medium of choice is ole pencil and comic book board lol! I do paint with acrylics from time to time. I usually do all my commissioned portraits in acrylics on watercolor paper. I’m dying…
Today, MoAA is proud to present Fabulous Gentleperson Extraordinaire: HEATHER BREWER. Heather is one of my soul sisters. I honestly can’t remember if I met her in person first (Dragon*Con) or online, and I feel like I’ve known about her Slayer Chronicles series forever. Once she was in my life she was always there, with her Gargy and her…
Today’s MoAA features the lovely and talented Sarah Hans, editor of the fabulous new cohort-anthology, SIDEKICKS. Sidekicks: We know them, and we ignore them. They sit courtside, they wait in the shadows, they ride on the coattails. They have nothing to offer. Or do they? Heroes and heroines perform world shaking deeds, but sidekicks? Sidekicks are the unseen glue…
Today’s MoAA interview is with the fabulous, magical, and zen Jane Porter. I met Jane when she gave her talk at the Washington Romance Writers Retreat. I think it was a discussion we were all taken with — so many I’ve been forced to witness talk about e-publishing and self-publishing…Jane’s was one of the first I’ve been to in…
Erin Dealey is a bright star who shines in the same sky with me at the East/West Literary Agency. She and I hit it off very recently because she manages the @EastWestLit Twitter feed…and I’m quite the prolific Tweeter myself. Turns out, Erin was a Math major who graduated with a degree in English. I was a writer who…
Wow, Leah Bobet is Gorgeous and Tall. This is the thought that popped into my mind when I first spotted her across the room at this year’s Nebula Awards weekend. We’d become friends online after our nomination for the Andre Norton Award, but matching a real-life face to an avatar is always a lovely surprise. (I Tweeted Leah and…
