TweetBeen working on Athena’s Chains in my spare time (hahaha, I know, that’s funny to me, too) and today, I thought I’d treat you to a short excerpt. As you may or may not know, Pallas works in a most unusual hotel. In this scene, the Lunatics From Hell, a popular band, is checking into …

TweetThis is another case of social media serendipity–Facebook serendipity, in fact. I met Jennifer Wingard in a group on Facebook. When I first started freelancing as a web copy writer, I met Chris Anderson, a now-senior editor at Huffington Post. We were both freelancers at the time, and bonded over a particularly hysterically funny squirrel …
TweetI am really excited to present to you a video by the awesome Patti Larsen for my first Guest Post Tuesday. We’ve worked together on many projects, and I can tell you she is one amazing person. Prolific, generous, and always upbeat, I’m fairly certain there is no demon contract involved in her achievements. Pretty …
