Today I have a guest post from writer R.A. Johnson. Enjoy! Tethered Worlds by R.A. Johnson Here we sit at a standstill…a tethered world. In the midst of this crisis, you can find peace. Picture yourself back in time, perhaps as far back as the 1800s. In those days they played parlor games, […]
Hiatus? Maybe
I made it! Three months in a row, I blogged every Friday. Now it’s April, and we’re in the midst of a pandemic. Inspiration is at an all-time low. I’m struggling just to write tweets, never mind Facebook posts and blog posts or words on my novel/s. It’s a tough time. Stay in, take care, […]
Business Cards and Boggle
I have new business cards–YAY! They had my phone number on them, so I whited that out, just for online safety reasons. What do you think? I’m writing this on 3/20/20, and I am bored out of my skull. Here’s some Boggle games, if you’re bored, too: Keep calm and read on, Beth
Preparedness for the Coronavirus
So. I wrote a post two weeks ago, before things escalated to where they are today. I gave the usual advice (don’t panic, stop spreading misinformation, no hoarding, wash your hands, etc.) and it still stands. But we all know it, and while it bears repeating, I wanted to say something more. You don’t have […]

Happy St. Paddy’s Day!
Next week, most of us will cling to that .005% Irish that we believe we are. We’ll eat strange-to-us foods. Some of us will drink far too much beer. While others still, probably the majority, will do absolutely nothing out of the ordinary because we couldn’t care less about St. Paddy’s. Speaking of the Irish…. […]
March News
I hope everyone had a wonderful February (but I bet we’re all glad that it’s over. Hello, spring!) A few notices, in case I forgot to mention them here: 1 – The Goblets Immortal is out now in paperback, hardcover, and e-book. I believe there will be an audiobook as well, but at a later […]
Authors Need to Read Recent Fiction
I find your lack of books disturbing The other week, another writer made a simple statement on Twitter. To sum it up: writers who want to be published should read at least one book that was published within the past five years. Reasonable suggestion, no? Here’s why a very good reason to be up […]
Series Bible Pics
You may have seen on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram but…I’m handwriting and -drawing a series bible for The Goblets Immortal. Here’s a peek at what I have so far (as of the writing of this blog post): I’m also having a sealing stamp made for my main character. Here’s what it will (hopefully) look like: […]
