One of my earliest memories is of running down the narrow hall in our apartment, my blanket tied around my neck and flying out behind me as I leapt into the air, prepared to take flight.

I broke two toes. And didn't quite get the altitude I planned. At least, that's what my mother tells me. I think that secretly I did fly and she just wanted to keep ( Read more... )

Well, I’ve decided to give in to my baser instincts and get myself a Nook. The Wookie is, to be precise, for my birthday since I’m supposedly so hard to buy for. *laughs*

And I miss seeing the kids running around the bookstore, clutching a book in hand, racing to get to the counter ( Read more... )

A hundred, thousand years ago when I decided to write “Blaze of Glory”, I went back to my basic comic book roots.

Which, admittedly, were real old-school. Contrary to the current surge of violent comic books that seem to thrive on how many horrible images and shocking stories they can put out, I decided to go back to my past and write a story where ( Read more... )

One of the constants in my household is the stacks of books lying around, read and unread. From the bathroom to the bedroom, there's always a pile of books either in the process of being read, since I tend to read multiple books at the same time, or having BEEN read, waiting to be filed in the pit that is the book room ( Read more... )
