I don’t typically use profanity in this blog, but today is an EFFING TREAT! I love this guy. Once you know him, you’ll love him, too. His name is Ednor Therriault, though some may know him as Bob Wire. He a musician and a writer and I am not sure which of his talents impress […]
As I prepare to release the second book in my Clan of MacAulay series this weekend, I had occasion to think a bit about “serial” novels and what I love about them.
