The Truth Is No Excuse
The following is a guest post by Gino Bardi, author of The Cow in the Doorway. Every now and then, a reader will approach me and pay me a gigantic compliment. “You have a terrific imagination,” he or she will say. I will nod appreciatively, and thank them profusely. I love compliments. Even when they are dead wrong. My imagination is probably no better than their own, and possibly much worse. What…

But You Are in France, Madame by Catherine Berry
The following is a guest post by Catherine Berry, author of But You Are in France, Madame. There was no doubt that it was tough. Not in a life or death way – that was to come later.

Reinvention
The following is a guest post by Nancy Cole Silverman, author of Without a Doubt, a Carol Childs Mystery. At some point in life, most of us will need to reinvent ourselves. The job market, like some of us grew up with, no longer offers a gold watch after twenty-five years of service. And once out the door, it’s more a matter of reaching for that brass ring and hoping for the…

What Oh What Shall I Write?
The following is a guest post by Judy Alter, author of The Gilded Cage. I sort of slid sideways into a career as a writer. In college, I had no thought of a career—I was going to get married and some man would support me, while I read Silver Screen and ate bonbons—or maybe while I read To Kill a Mockingbird and ate raw veggies. It was the typical late ‘50s…

My Signed Book Collection
The following is a guest post by Dane Cobain, author of No Rest For the Wicked. A signed book is a special thing – it’s imbued with the spirit of its author, and it can remind you of where you were and what you were doing when you first got hold of it.
