Idiot Tolerance

When you go through medical procedures these days, they often ask about your pain tolerance. I never know what to say, having not dealt with a lot of physical pain in my life. If I have a headache, I take something and it goes away. I don't know where that rates on a scale of 1 to 10. What I do notice is that I'm losing my tolerance for idiots. It was never terribly high, maybe a 4, and now I find myself ready to scream at 2. Yes, I know we're not all educated to the same level; in fact I don't… Continue

Play the Publishing Quiz and win a Free book

The Society of Authors meeting in London on Monday was fascinating for many reasons: the venue, the characters in the audience, the panel and what they said. I’ve picked out some quotes from the panel of experts (a publisher, an agent and a book wholesaler) and thought I’d let you decide who said what with the offer of a FREE signed edition of one of my novels if you guess correctly. But first a little more about the event. The Conway Hall, (built in… Continue

A Controversy Over "Sexual Depravity"

There is a huge controversy at my school right now over an article published in a University funded newspaper named The FlipSide. The piece is called "Sexual Depravity" and can be found here on page 14-15. As of so far, The FlipSide has not taken any responsibility for the article and maintains that there was nothing wrong with running it. The author is quite beligerent and crude on his Myspace in support of his own actions and has also not… Continue

Northeast Writing Workshop Tour

It’s a darn shame that some 4 million fiction manuscripts a year are rejected before the first few pages are even read. All that work on plot and characters and you can't get anyone in publishing to read past page 3, 2, or 1. I’ve been a book editor working in publishing 44 years. Now that I’m retiring and have the time and means to travel the country, I'm sharing insider information about the manuscript submission process--including how to improve your own odds of surviving the 90 percent rate… Continue
