I think I just lost a blog post due to a slip of the little finger, right hand. Dang, I hate when that happens!
OK, the thing is, Nikki sent me an email asking the questions I put in this subject line, and when I came to Crimespace to look for her post so that I could reply to it in the most direct place, I couldn't find it.
I admit to having problems with what I guess you'd call technical aspects of managing my Crimespace page. I did manage to get my photo…

I'd like to use this space today to thank Mary P. Smith, Tiffany Schofield and everyone else at Thorndike Press/Five Star for their gracious hospitality at Author Day, last Friday in Waterville, Maine.
Also to my fellow Five Star authors who made the trip to Waterville - it was great good fun.…

I've always had a love-hate relationship with "how-to" books. Goodness, knows I have enough of them. From redecorating your rumpus room to building an entire house. I also have a lot of writing how-to books, as well as a few "diet" how-to's.
My latest diet how-to is French Women Don't Get Fat. I bought it at a yard…

It isn't easy to make people come alive on a piece of paper. Secondary characters need to act in certain ways to advance the story, but what kind of person does what you need done at a particular spot in the plotline?
The book I'm reading right now has a character who is obtuse and smart-mouthed for no apparent reason, in fact there are good reasons why he would NOT be that way. He's a county sheriff, for one thing, so he should be polite to his citizens for job security. He's trying…

Okay, there isn't really a joke buried here, but now that I have your attention, I'll answer a question I'm sure you're dying to ask. (As for the question of how many dead puns I can pack into a blog posting, the answer is "an infinite number.")
So, here's your question presented for viewing by all: Why write about vampires?
My answer: Why not?
Vampires have been…

My good friend Kaycee Conners did a terrific job coming up with the questions for the interview she posted today in her Wordpress blog, http://pubd2b.wordpress.com/. This one really made me think.
Hope you'll all have a chance to pop in for a read and post a comment. All of my personal interviews will be posted to my website, …

When Edison first invented his phonograph, there were articles in various periodicals that the book public libraries would be a thing of the past.
Books and libraries are still with us, though now the printed word is available in electronic form and in audio books on tape, CD and MP3...and who knows what devices in the future.
The public has mostly turned their backs on e-books. I surely don't want to read a mystery on my computer screen or some other electronic instrument. On…

Inspired by Lorraine's last post, I thought I'd follow the bug thread. This makes some sense, because my husband is an entomologist (that's the bug person, not the one who worries about where words came from). He's a research scientist, and he works for the federal government, for one of those agencies known best by its initials. He's worked for several of them, and I always have to remind myself which one is current (APHIS, ARS, USDA, USFS, etc.). He…

Since I started writing, a strange guilt plagues me whenever I read: I feel like I should be writing instead. A really good book overcomes this guilt, because then I consider it research, honing my craft by reading expert writers.
My own study of what I want to write and how I will do it makes me intolerant of what I consider mediocre work, so that I often don't finish a book if it hasn't grabbed me by fifty pages or so.
I've been trying to expand my knowledge of writers'…

I just finished Conn Iggulden's newest novel Genghis: Birth of a Nation. http://www.conniggulden.com/
Genghis and the Mongols are a topic of perennial fascination for me, and I'm always interested in novelistic interpretations.
The 50 pages of Iggulden's Genghis was a tad slow for me, but then, when young Genghis is out on his own trying to survive! My gosh! I could not put it down. Which is highly unusual for me. I'm…
