When he first called that morning, I was still sound asleep, because I have a stay at home job as an artist. I had to get out of bed and pick up…

Kate Laity (aka K.A. Laity aka C. Margery Kempe aka Kit Marlowe aka Kate Wombat) has to be one of the most interesting authors I've crossed virtual paths with in a long time. For starters, just look at the different names she uses. Combine that with a lot of international traveling and a multi-language repetoire of light bulb jokes, and you might think she's a…

Moving On is not a crime novel - please forgive me.  Well, unless you consider homelessness, prostitution, abuse, exotic dancing a crime - okay, sometimes - but the book is actually about a young woman who has experienced all of the above and come through to a pretty good place in her life.  Yes, I wrote it.

Many things I've learned over the years are self taught. When I worked as a graphic designer at a local newspaper, I was unfamiliar about the software being used to create advertising. Slowly, through the months, I discovered new things to be done with the program others hadn't.

So it was with writing. I didn't know anything about outlining, or formatting, or even too much editing, but throughout the years, I developed a system that worked for me. When I started writing my…
