Search for Other Earths

Today I’m visiting Derek Flynn at Rant with Occasional Music. Topic: Kepler and the search for other worlds. Besides being a writer, Derek is also a talented musician with his first album recently released. Check out his latest music video.

 

Wednesday I was at Allan Douglas’s blog, The Write Stuff, talking about one of my greatest inspirations for The Backworlds, and one of my all-time favorite space operas. I met Allan awhile ago, and he has been a great supporter and fan. Quite fantastic. And he’d also a great writer.

 

Monday I’ll be over at Siana Wineland’s writing on characterization. She’s a very warm and supportive person, and a wonderful writer.

Stop by and see us.

Happy weekend all. I’m off to Southern Oregon this weekend for a Renaissance Festival. Research for my fall release, and some fun.

Ran into my buds, the Gangsta cows, last Saturday. It was good to see them.

I ran across this recently in my internet travels, a LEGO Serenity/Firefly playset. Awesome. You can find out more about it HERE.

 

Come see me at Allan’s.

Looked at Venus Saturday night.

Advantages in Creating a Series

 

Meet me today at Nick Daw’s Writing Blog. I’m thrilled to be inside Nick’s writing world. The topic is strategies for launching a series. Nick just released The Fesitval on Lyris Five. Congrats to Nick.

Friday I visited Misha Gericke’s My First Book. I can tell you she writes a fabulous story, and is a great crit partner. I look forward to celebrating her future publications. She puts out a fabulous blog, too. The discussion was on character. It’s something I had to work on, and I talk about what helped me.

Wednesday I’ll be taking over Allan Douglas’s The Write Stuff, talking about the space opera that inspired The Backworlds most.

Come by and see us.

Saturday was beautiful and perfect, warmer than usual this time of year. No snow remained up on Pine Mountain. I brought my telescope up and did some stargazing after sunset.
