So! KillerCon! It’s been going on since Thursday and it wraps up tomorrow. I have a lot to report, including my flash fiction contest win (woo hoo!) and a rather uncomfortable impromptu radio interview. But I am having SO MUCH FUN, and I’m learning a lot. More later!

Look, Mom! Most of you know that I signed with Jason Yarn from Paradigm. Did you know that I found him through a QueryTracker contest? I did. I’ll twirl and give you the starry eyed “How we met” story later. But guess what? QueryTracker interviewed me and filed me away under their “Success Story” section. [...]

A Little Bloggy Housecleaning
Posted in Writing on August 17, 2010 | 9 Comments »
I’m doing a little spit polish on the good ole blog. I combined a few of my tabs together (Ultra Shorts has been combined with Fiction, which is a shame because Ultra Shorts got an awful lot of hits.
