• Here’s the Story

    I wrote a book called The Forest for the Trees and it’s an advice book for writers. This blog hopes to continue in the spirit of the book, answering basic questions such as how to write an effective query letter to more complex issues involving writers' personalities, especially but not limited to their self-destructive proclivities. But mostly, it’s a place to regularly vent about publishing.

Treat

 Just in time for the holiday I most hate, here are some bites from this week’s round up in PublishersMarketPlace.com that give me a scare:

Witchy Woman!  From the Grammy Award-winning producer of Fleetwood, the ”cleverly” titled STARTING RUMOURS, an oral biography revealing the tempestuous  story of the making of Fleetwood Mac’s album “Rumours.” Oral indeed!

 ADVENT CONSPIRACY: Can Christmas Still Change the World?, a “call to celebrate Christmas in a meaningful and transformative way by worshipping fully, spending less, giving more and loving all.” Is it me, or is the title a little misleading? And what’s this about spending less and giving more?  I hate that.

 SEXY CHRISTIANS, a guide for couples to understand and embrace the hope, healing and healthy sexuality God intended for their marriages. I can’t wait for the sequel, Sexy Jews. Sorry, everything that just flashed through my mind is too depraved for even me to write.

It wouldn’t be Halloween without HUNGRY FOR YOUR LOVE: An Anthology of Zombie Romance, with new stories by zombie masters. Zombie masters? Sounds like an undead golf championship.

DEAD CITY is about a…zombie plague!! In Texas!!! The living dead’s numbers are growing and the ranks of the infected are breaking out of the quarantined zones and into neighboring states. I hate when that happens.

    Calling all New York zombies, especially those looking for an agent/editor!

  3. I followed this link from Ellen Meister’s blog…. You are fabulous! I scrolled down and read through your last few posts and seriously, laughed out loud (only at the posts I should have laughed at, honestly) – now you can be added to the list of things I’m doing when I’m supposed to be writing and not surfing….. oh, and congratulations on the book!
