SavvyAuthors.com Membership Contest Winners
I read every comment twice. Thank you to every single one of you who played. Every entry was excellent. There was no way I could choose ten on my own. I went to Random.org’s True Random Number Generator, generated ten random numbers, and one of the ten was for a long-time reader here who had requested she not be considered … Continue reading →
My Mistake, Your Gain–A Fun Drawing for 10 Free Memberships
My newsletter introducing the workshop I’m teaching for SavvyAuthors.com [LINK CORRECTED] started like this: So.

The NEW TalysMana Artifact (and Upcoming Contest)
Yesterday Becky posted her first rough concept sketch for what the Fendle Warrior’s Heart would look like. I meant to come in here last night and post the link, but after writing 4000+ words of lesson, I was just too fried. Today, though, I wanted to let you know her sketch is up. It’s SO much cooler than anything I … Continue reading →
