End games

I’m finishing my trio of posts over at the Well Read Donkey today, on endings. While also working ten hour days refining the final draft.   I wonder if my post over there makes the least bit of sense?

Donkeys and meteors

I’m over at the blog for Kepler’s bookstore this week, The Well Read Donkey, talking about beginnings, middles, and ends. While you’re there, maybe you could even click onto the Kepler’s link and buy a book?  Hooray for indies! And I would be remiss if I did not point out that the Perseid meteors are…

Tome travelling

As has become our habit during the Fifteen Weeks, Thursday is guest post day. This time I’m visiting the Tome Traveller, who herself is just back from the UK. Her post yesterday is a review of The Language of Bees, although if you don’t want spoilers, you might want to keep your eyes averted from…

When I was young and rude, as opposed to middle aged and rude, the word “bitchin” was a term of praise.  It is in that sense of the word that I invite you to join me over at Bookbitch, a bitchin’ blog about books. And don’t forget to give me your love letter to a…

Laurie Loves Libraries

As I may have happened to mention a few hundred times, I adore libraries.  I grew up in libraries, libraries snatched up most of the first printing of A Grave Talent, and I revel in my local university’s research library.  The Game was dedicated: To the librarians everywhere, who spend their lives in battle against the…

Stepped out to post

Twenty-seven days until The Language of Bees buzzes across the land. Laurie is not really here (Jedi hand wave across the screen.) This is not the LRK you’re looking for. It’s a blog tour day, so she’s over at the blog Jungle Red, talking to fellow writer Roberta Isleib about Russell and Holmes and…well, lots of…
