• Why W.T. Fallon Wrote FAIL TO THE CHIEF

    The day I came up with the idea for my novel, Fail to the Chief, I was running on the treadmill, and the TV was on a 24-hour news channel. I realized election coverage is a lot like a reality show—candidates are followed 24/7, commentators yell questions at them, and just when you think you…

  • #PetsInSpace is Available for #Preorder!

    I know I’ve been a little Pets in Space crazy around here, but this is my only release for 2016. It’s been a kind of crazy year. And it is our project (Veronica Scott and I). We conceived the idea, collected some amazing authors who we’d  talked into giving us their stories (amazing, fun, exciting stories!) for…

  • Why V.R. Craft Wrote Stupid Humans

    A World Without Idiots Have you ever wondered what the world would be like without idiots? I have, and it inspired me to write my first book, a comical science fiction novel called Stupid Humans. I always knew there were a lot of stupid people in the world, but I never knew how many until…

  • Magnetic Wisdom?

    What does your refrigerator say about you? I was looking at my magnets and got to wondering what they say about me. And honestly, I’m still not sure. lol We got a new refrigerator last year, an ordeal in learning patience AND we lost our magnetic surface. So I brought all my magnets to our…

  • First She Read. Then She Wrote

    So, a long time ago, and not that far away, there was a girl who loved to read. She loved to read so much that she’d sneak-read under the bed covers when she was supposed to be asleep. She’d try to read while walking to and from school. Mixed success there. She’d even try to…

  • Why Teresa Noelle Roberts Wrote BAD KITTY

    I blame and thank my husband for my new science fiction romance Bad Kitty, and indeed for the entire Chronicles of the Malcolm series. I’ve read science fiction since childhood, but I hadn’t seen many science fiction TV shows until I met my husband. He decided to remedy this gap in my education and introduced…

  • 26 Places I Can’t Take the Hubs #badpuns

    There are places I can’t take the hubs. It’s not because he misbehaves, but he LOVES Loves loves bad puns. The badder the better. I’d forgotten he has a particular fondness for funny place names until our recent road trip. And it didn’t surface until we hit Kansas. Wakeeney, Kansas (did you know there is…

    Perilous P’s BIGGEST Secret Revealed

    My hubs is a really cute promoter of my books. I didn’t realize this until we were at a party and he was like, “This is my wife. I told you about her books…” [insert small talk here] then, “I think she’s killed me about a hundred times in her books.” We all laugh and…

  • Dressing for Author Success?

    I saw a funny meme on Facebook about dressing for the job you want. The image with it was a guy dressed as Batman. It made me smile, but also made me think. I know our brains are powerful. They can deliver us places we didn’t think we wanted to go. Or places we didn’t…

  • Turn on an #Audiobook with #AugustAudio

    So we’re two weeks into August and two weeks into #AugustAudio. So far August is winning the most. It always kicks me around, but one thing I do to escape August is put on the headphones and slide into an audiobook. Listening to a book is a fun experience—and very different to reading a book.…
