L. Annette Binder, anyone?

Does anyone know about the new fiction collection Rise by L. Annette Binder? I'm not spamming for the book, BTW. Just interested.New Pages calls it "a book of fourteen stories in which, with each story, we experience living inside a trauma from the subject’s interior eye level."Redundancy of that last clause notwithstanding, it's a thumbs'-up review.…See More

New, three-post series.

http://wp.me/psSjA-11N

Includes how to benefit from TBA even if you aren't in it ... this year!

For PLOP! magazine, just published first Seattle review of Ryan Boudinot's new novel, "Blueprints of the Afterlife."

Posted on January 9, 2012 at 1:54pm 0 Comments

What happens when the technology we unleash through the Internet becomes our physical reality, and we become its content?

The sheer imagination with which Boudinot’s tale unwinds is stunning.…

CreateSpace verifies that I am still relevant

I was a little worried that I wasn't. I am so brilliant, yes; but much of my insider information comes from the six years I spent running The Hugo House InPrint series. This was 2001-2007. Our monthly panel of agents and editors often debated whether or not Web publications counted as "real," and if a writer needed to blog. Meet the Flintstones

On Dec. 7th, I attended a two-hour, soft-sell commercial for Amazon's CreateSpace. Sponsored by the same, the free event ("Pitch 2.0")…

I know you mean well, Alle, but please don't spam advertisements for your blog posts on the group walls. That is not what the group walls are for, and it sends spam emails to EVERYONE who is a member of the group (so I got 7 different emails from you this morning). If you want to advertise your blog, please use the Wordpress Bloggers group discussion dedicated to "What did you blog about today?"

Thanks. I appreciate it.

It is the german word for a Coming of Age story.

My book is about a boy who has a neurosurgeon Father who ignores everything and a pill popping alcoholic Mother. He does some evil things to find the girl of his childhood dreams.

Hi Alle, The flower symbolism I'm referring to in that title is actually more in the Georgia O'Keefe sense of symbolism. :) But hey, my first novel is out now! Check it out.
http://riverpoetsjournal.com/Lilly-Press-NewBooks.html I really do hope to get to Seattle at some point. We'll have to sell a bunch of books here first though. This is a small publisher and this is going to be a grassroots thing. But it'll grow. I just know it!

Actually, he writes, too. He just likes to go out for nice dinners and dancing or otherwise having fun in the evening, where I'd be content to stay home and read.

Thanks for that comment Alle. I hadn't thought of the originality component, but I do think that ensuring our writing has moments of surprise is important.
