There are a few authors out there whose last names begin with Q, but I’ve chosen to cheat on the challenge instead and feature a northern Colorado writer whose name sounds as though it could begin with Q. Featured Author: Brian Qaufman (aka Brian Kaufman) Brian was the instructor in a novel-writing class I took …Read More
A to Z Challenge: P is for Psychic (and Annie Proulx and “(The) Prairie Grass Murders” by Me)
Day P in the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge. I had a bad couple of days with the “N” brain freeze for book title and then almost forgetting to do the “O” post because I had a guest blogger scheduled the same day. I think I’m over the mid-challenge slump now and ready …Read More
Denver Teen Writers Get Their Own Summer Camp, Their Own Way … by Trai Cartwright
Like lots of us, I’ve been writing stories since someone shoved a crayon in my fist. I got lots of oohs and ahhs from the adults in my world, not unlike a trained monkey at the circus might, but what I didn’t get was any kind of organized or professional support. There was exactly one …Read More
A to Z Challenge: O is for Opera (and Linda Osmundson and “Ordinary Grace” by William Kent Krueger)
Holy cow! I’m getting this one in at the last second. Hopefully I can get a couple days ahead this afternoon so I don’t start stressing out before the month is over. Best to get to it. Featured Author: Linda Osmundson Linda is a northern Colorado resident who developed a beautiful series of Western art …Read More
A to Z Challenge: N is for Nocturnal (and Pam Nowak and …)
As I told one of my writer friends, the second half of the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge is a slippery slope. This is where I let my mind wander, take a day off from blog hopping, don’t stay two scheduled posts ahead, and then risk panic. What if my visitors stop coming? …Read More
A to Z Challenge: M is for Marijuana (and April Moore and “Moneyball” by Michael Lewis)
M. Does this mean we’re halfway home on this cursed Blogging from A to Z April Challenge? Why do I sign up for this thing every year? There are reasons. It gets me back in the habit of regular posting (although definitely not six times a week). I re-connect with old blogging friends and make …Read More
A to Z Challenge: L is for List (and Sophie Littlefield and “Long Live the Suicide King” by Aaron Michael Ritchey)
I think that’s the longest title I’ve had yet. So it’s Day L on the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge. If you’re visiting here for the first time and don’t know about the challenge, you can visit the official website and list of 2,127 participants at Blogging from A to Z Challenge (April …Read More
A to Z Challenge: K is for Killer (and Julie Kazimer and a whole list of “K” novels)
K threw me for a loop when I tried to pick a book written by a Coloradoan or with a Colorado setting or even a remote relationship to this part of the country. But the author was no trouble at all. Featured Author: Julie Kazimer (aka J. A. Kazimer) In spite of Julie’s busy schedule …Read More
A to Z Challenge: J is for Jam (and David Jessup and “John Dies in the End” by David Wong)
We’re speeding right along, aren’t we? Already at the letter J and jogging right along toward the halfway mark. Featured Author: David Jessup I had David in mind for this challenge from the beginning, but I wasn’t sure whether to make him the featured author or use his excellent historical novel set in Colorado, Mariano’s …Read More
My Critique Group and What It Does for Me … by Marilyn Meredith
The reason I chose this topic is I read through Patricia’s blog posts and learned that she belonged to a critique group and how it affects her writing. I joined the critique group that I belong to now way back in 1981. The critique and members have changed over the years, just as I have …Read More
