 The other one pressed his mount forward and drew his sword. Parafague, barely losing stride after dropping his victim, raced to meet him. Launching himself again at my command, we sailed towards the rider who turned his mount to present sword and shield. While unable to sustain flight, Parafague’s wings enabled him to soar for [...]

I’ve added J.A. Konraths blog on the right. It’s another mystery writer on the web who posts some great insights into writing for a living. It’s called A Newbies Guide To Publishing but it is far from it.  http://jakonrath.blogspot.com/    I  gotta read more mysteries.

     Looks like my blog is going to break 10,000 hits this month which is a milestone for me. Everybody wants to know whats going on with the famous writers looks like. Which is understandable. Honestly if you ever get a chance to go (assuming your a aspiring writer or just a geek) make the [...]

      I awoke in the dim morning light to the sound of Parafague’s loud twittering. Looking over to where he was staked out, I could see him looking off in the distance in the direction from where the fires were last night. He let out another loud call.      “Damn it.” I said, seeing what [...]

     What can I say. For $35.00 I received invaluable knowledge, got to meet famous people, made a few new friends, spent way too much money on nicknack’s and books, and overall, had a really good time. Elizabeth Moon was charming and enlightening. I didn’t realize she had won The Heinlein Award on the anniversary [...]

Here is a wonderful writer I met at Conestoga who gave me some really good advice. She is a real sweetheart to have helped out an aspiring writer she has never met before. Plus she has one of her books available for free as a podcast. http://www.shadowhelm.net/ is her website.  You cant miss the link to her book.

     Still having a blast. They have all the workshops and panels pretty much stacked on top of each other so I missed lunch. Does that tell you anything? If you get the chance to catch Deborah Leblanc speaking somewhere, don’t miss it. She is a lively Louisianan who will really open your eyes to new [...]

Wow. What a blast. Yes. I’m a geek, but to me getting to rub elbows with professionals is a real thrill and a treat. You would be amazed to talk to them and hear about their lives and hobbies.  Surprisingly many are martial artists or sword-fighters. Neat people. I’ve already received some great advice and inspiration [...]

     “That’s what we were doing when he died. We had come to Tunasia looking for help and met up with the group of Turliks chasing us. I think he knew some of them from before but he never really trusted them. All he would give them were vague directions. The only one he really [...]

Here is a link http://www.sftulsa.org/conestoga/programgrid.html Looks like I will mainly be there Saturday for most of the writers workshops, although I would love to catch Elizabeth Moons toast Friday night if I can make it after work. I will definitely be catching Glen Cook’s workshop as well. The sword fighting  and knives and gun talk will [...]
