This week, I am pleased to feature guest author David Fulcher, who has written some flash fiction for us to enjoy. David Fulcher is an author of horror, science fiction, fantasy and poetry.  His major literary influences include H.P. Lovecraft, Dean Koontz, Edgar Allen Poe, Fritz Lieber, and Stephen King. His first novel, a historical […]

Today I’m pleased to announce that my short story, “The Grip,” appears in MacKenzie Publishing’s new anthology, Out of the Cave. “The Grip” is inspired by my wanderings as a kid at Cranbury Park in Connecticut. The park used to be Gallaher Estates, and the Gallaher mansion is still there (and available for renting). Several […]

This week, I had a chance to interview Christy Diachenko. Her newest book, Nolle Prosequi, has just been released, and it looks like she’s woven in personal experience, fiction, and faith to create her tale. As I learned in the interview, she hopes to entertain while also helping others through the lessons she’s learned in […]

This week, I had the opportunity to talk with Alana Woods, author of two contemporary Australian thrillers.  Tell us about yourself: Career public servant in a past life.  And a professional editor for much of it.  After giving up full-time employment some years ago I took on contract editing, and that ended up being full-time […]

This week I had a chance to interview Jo Marshall, a fellow children’s author. I love learning the “back story” about how authors became inspired for their series, and I enjoyed learning more about Jo. Her books will eventually appear on my Monday book review feature of this blog, so stay tuned 🙂 Tell us […]

She’s had experiences living in diverse locations around the globe, and that certainly seems to have influenced her writing! I enjoyed getting to know […]

Welcome to Writer Wednesdays. Today I’d like to highlight a book hot off the presses (well, the electronic presses, for now. The paperback is on its way!). It’s called Dystopian Express, and I’m especially excited because dystopian writing is probably my favorite genre. When someone asks me what my favorite book is, I always feel […]

Today I had the chance to chat with fellow Barking Rain Press author Jennifer Leeper. Jennifer is the author of  Padre: The Narrowing Path (description at bottom of post), a book I very much enjoyed. Check out Jennifer’s advice on finding inspiration for writing. Then, click the link for a free preview and coupon code […]

Welcome to the Spot Writers. Today’s contribution comes from RC Bonitz, author of the new book, DANGEROUS DECISIONS, which was released in September. The prompt for this month is to write about autumn. Autumns Past and Present  by RC Bonitz I love this month’s topic. Fall is my favorite season of the year, glowing with […]

Today’s contribution comes from RC Bonitz, a regular contributor to the Spot Writers (the group bringing you a new flash fiction piece every Thursday). He is the author of the new book, DANGEROUS DECISIONS, which was just released. I briefly thought to call this book “Shiners” because of things that happen to the hero, but […]
