I’m writing this blog from a week in the past. Oh, how I do love a bit of time travel. I’m guessing right now I’m still recovering from Mysticon, so I won’t have a con report ready yet. But I’ve just finished writing my monthly blog post for the Waterworld Mermaids, and it’s REALLY FREAKING GOOD. You’re going to…
This week over at the Waterworld Mermaids site, we’ve been telling love stories. Today is my day to contribute, and so I have offered up to the world the (very abridged) story of Princess Alethea and The Fairy GodBoyfriend. You’ve all wanted to know how we met? Well, here it is.

Looking back on my last few posts there seems to be a theme: projects I was involved in that were just a whole lot of stinking fun. And guess what — this one is too! The Waterworld Mermaids (of which I am a part) have a big Garden Party bash planned for the month of October over at our…
On Saturday, the WRW had yet another amazing meeting, this month featuring fabulous guest host Barbara Samuel. She presented us with two workshops–one before lunch, and one after our official meeting–about voice and the heroine’s journey, respectively. For the voice workshop, Barbara ran us through a series of times writing exercises — sprints, if you will — that were…
Today’s my day to blog over at Waterworld Mermaids — the topic is dialogue. If you have the time and inclination, please hop on over and share whatever insight you have! * Also, my post-apocalyptic dystopian SF story “The Unicorn Tree” has been podcasted over at Cast of Wonders. The story was originally published in the Zero Gravity anthology…
