My Bad Chemistry
I have always had an…uneasy relationship with science in all its forms. When I have those “forgot to study for a test” dreams, they are always science classes. So it is rather hilarious that I ended up writing books that are filled with fictional science. It is possible it all started here: In my junior…

Why Elle Clouse Wrote Besotted

Prince Humperdinck Gets to Live (or why….)
Or, Why She Wrote Farryn’s War At the end of my third novel, there’s a fight in which the villain of the piece was originally plotted to die. Fortunately for him, I’d become so intrigued with the possibilities he presented that I couldn’t bear to follow through with it. I decided that he, like Prince…

Why She Reads: Talking #TimeTravel
In addition to officially passing five years of blogging (actually a little more but I was never great with math), and reaching the 600+ blog posts mark, I got to go to ArmadilloCon this weekend. It’s a science fiction convention held in Austin. It’s a fun place to catch up on what’s happening in geek…

Emergency! Blog Re-Post Alert!
I went to ApolloCon this weekend. Why is this an emergency in need of a blog re-post? Well, I usually write my blogs on Saturday, but Saturday, I’ll be at ApolloCon. When I sat down to try and write new material, my brain was like, “Girl, it’s not Saturday. I only think in blog posts…
