Earlier this week I found out about Write Your @ss Off Weekend hosted by Moonrat and I forgot to share the news. It’s a day to devote to writing tasks but putting that behind in the chair is also encouraged.

Interview with J.R. Tomlin
It’s my pleasure to share an interview with J.R. Tomlin conducted via email earlier this month. Author interviews are always interesting because you never know what they have to say about their work or their work style. Here’s my review in case you want to know more about A Warrior’s Duty before reading the interview. … Continue reading Interview with J.R.
