By Anne R. Allen
When I started writing funny women’s fiction fifteen years
ago, if anybody had given me a realistic idea of my chances for publication,
I’d have chosen a less stressful hobby, like do-it-yourself brain surgery,
professional frog herding, or maybe staging an all-Ayatollah drag revue in
downtown Tehran.
As a California

Or stare down at those two pink lines on the pregnancy test, when you’re only twenty-two and been married for a month and a half and are living on only $800 a month because you’re both still in school and my God how is this...

Another inspiring story this week from Suzanne Tyrpak... Holes
I used to think I had to be perfect. Of course, I fell short of perfection on a regular basis so I frequently felt like a failure.
The only way to prevent failure is to hide. If we don’t put ourselves out there, we can’t fail.
To prevent myself from failing, I hid in a fantasy world. As a young child, I longed to be a ballerina. I loved to dance, but more than that, I wanted to escape in... Continue reading ...

I was so sad and shocked yesterday to hear that the wonderful LC Evans had lost her battle with cancer. As well as being a great author, she also a lovely person and someone I considered a good friend. The literary world will be a lesser place for not having her in it.
Fellow author and good friend of LC, Barbara Silkstone, made this announcement...
"It is with great sorry that I share ~ We lost one of our own last night. Our beloved and lovely lady, Linda Evans succumbed to her battle with ... Continue reading ...

This week we've got another inspirational post from the Indie Chicks Anthology by Prue Batten...
Mrs. So Got It Wrong Agent.  After writing forever, I decided to finally go down the independent road in 2008. At that time, it was called self-publishing and the track I decided to take was POD. Part of my reason for the move was that my books had been declared commercially viable by the UK literary consultancy that assessed them, but in every instance they were declined by the Big Six.
