Tonight, we will start sleeping over at the new apartment. This will mean no internet connection unless I walk back over here to use the connection, and that may not be on much longer anyway. I’m going to load up … Continue reading
Becky, AKA: Shutsumon wrote up a review of Haunting Sins, with an overall score of 3.5 out of 5, and a fair warning about the adult content. She wrote: I liked this novella a lot. It’s wonderfully creepy and atmospheric … Continue reading
In the world of dark fantasy, there is no hero more maligned than…the bard. That’s right, while everyone just adores demon slayers and witch hunters, and there’s plenty of love for good witches and half-demon heroines, the fact is, there’s … Continue reading
Just as with last year, and the year before, my goal is to live up to the label of experimental writer by really experimenting with all facets of the story. I’ve tinkered with the underlying formulas, and I’ve tried to handle both omniscient and POV pure third-person perspectives. I’ve done first person perspective several times now, and I’m ready to tinker with the narrator just to see if I can alter the method of delivery. Continue reading
By all means, enter NaNoWriMo and try something new and exciting. Experiment and be bold with your use of literary clichés. And if you come to December and find that you want to write another, better story, do that too. If you keep writing more and more, eventually, your stories won’t all suck ass.
And before you ask, yes, everything I wrote before 2006 sucked ass. That’s why I didn’t start self-publishing stuff right away. Because I love you people, and I refuse to torture you with shit fiction wrapped in a shit cover. So please, have a little love for your fellow man, and bury your shit until you’re ready to write a real novel, something around 80,000 words. Continue reading
Effective today, all the blog links on my web site no longer point to this blog. Instead, I’ve created a wordpress blog on the site server, and I’ve implemented a design much closer to my web site. It’s been my … Continue reading
Without my permission, Amazon jacked up the prices of my books, BUT only to everyone outside the US. Why? Amazon is claiming “higher operating costs” and VAT are to blame. That’s bullshit. Why does an electronic store have higher operating costs for sending a digital product to a foreign buyer? And VAT is not so fucking high that you can justify a price increase from 0.49 cents to $2.43. Continue reading
You don’t have to, of course. But if I offend you because of something I say, you can’t expect me to apologize and act like I’m losing my best friend in the whole wide world. I don’t know you that well. I’d love to know more about all of you, but it’s not up to me to dig for more information. Continue reading
Meh. Like I should fuckin’ disclose which books I get for free. Hell, most of the books I did get free, I turned around and bought copies to help support the writer. As it is I would have thought it’s a given who sends free shit. I’m a cranky nobody whining on the internet, so obviously, big guys like Harper Collins and Quercus aren’t kissing my ass and saying “Oh, Miss Whitten, your shit tastes like mint candy-flavored shit! Please, won’t you give this Stephen King novel a great review? You know he’s so small and pathatic in sales that he needs your amazing wit to help sell him to these moronic masses.” Continue reading
Let me point to a fascinating fact about the various civil rights movements: Not one marginalized group has ever made progress without first convincing white guys to get off their high horses and help change things. Continue reading
I am a bisexual transsexual with bigender tendencies. I'm a former resident of Texas, but now live in Milan with my husband. I write in a variety of genres and have self-published ebooks through my online store and on Amazon, and I use Lulu for some print titles.
I rant here in my journal, or I mix things up with the occasional book or album review. If you come here looking for an argument, expect me to ignore you. If you come here looking for an opinion, I've got plenty of those, and I love to share. I can fairly be considered highly fucking offensive.
