  • A Quick Contest.

    So, most of you are already aware that Bowlful of Bunnies is out and about, hopping onto a Kindle near you. Now, I’m going very soft on this…I have a few guest posts planned in a little while and I promote the book whenever I get a chance, but, for the most part, I’m not…

  • Closing Lines Challenge.

    On days like today, when I’m used to having a RoW80 check-in and I can’t otherwise think of anything to write about, I go trolling around the Intrawebz to find inspiring, humorous, or thought-inducing quotes from other authors.

  • Flash Fiction Prompt!

    Recently, for something sort of fun and random, the wonderful Kait Nolan ran a little bit of a flash fiction challenge for her readers, and I won! The only prize, really, was bragging rights, but I decided to give it a go on a whim and it seems to have turned out quite well for…
