It’s Fair Trade Friday on this blog, too!
As a child, I was never especially distracted by the weather. Nice days were nice, but I could wait patiently until I got out of class to run around and soak up the sun.Not so much anymore. It helps that I’ve learned walking provides necessary fresh air, exercise, and rest for the wordsmith portion of…

Veterans of Future Wars release
My short story “Ayema’s Fleet” has been reprinted in the Veterans of Future Wars anthology from Martinus Publishing. As with the Battlespace anthology “Ayema’s Fleet” first appeared in, VFW is for a good cause–10% of proceeds from the anthology go to Disabled American Veterans. I’ve done an interview with anthology editor Martin T. Ingham, which…

When I started Story Addict, I had just moved to Washington, D.C. for one last semester before graduation. Like most new graduates,…

Speaking of feverish editing, I’ve been so wrapped up in the Guide and other projects that I missed…

For Everyone Misspelling My Name: Thank You!
Yet another misspelling–on an address label, of all things–has sparked this…let’s not call it a rant. Let it be, rather, inspiration. All my life, my name has been misspelled, mispronounced, and just generally misunderstood. Mispronunciations I can understand. In a quick conversation, the balance of probability suggests you were just introduced to Theresa, rather than…
Book Reviews: Hear No Evil, Citizen Science, and The Grey Star
A sort of rapid-fire round of book reviews this week, thanks to Christmas reading!1. Be the Change: Saving the World Through Citizen Science by Chanda Clarke Though short (33 PDF pages), this was very readable and informative–it’s designed to teach the principles of citizen science/crowdsourced science to people who have never heard of it before. Now,…
