Miscellany

Have you come across an awesome Ted Talk that you’d like to share? Perhaps a blog? Would love you to send me the links. Meanwhile, the other day, I watched a highly entertaining Ted talk, “Inside the mind of a master procrastinator,” by author, Tim Urban. Check it out here. You can check out his humorous blog, wait, but why, here.

I just posted my 30th interview with Author, Educator & Puzzle-Maker, Guy Belleranti. Check it out here. Would love to interview you, too, so please email me at tlrelf@gmail.com for the questions..


Updates

The 5th Alban Lake Drabble Contest, Confessions of a Shapeshifter, closed on February 29. I’m currently compiling the issue, and acceptance letters will be going out this week. The winners will be personally notified, of course, and posted in the April View from the Lake newsletter. Be sure to check out the next contest theme, as well as other submission calls, in the Guidelines section.

I finally sent out my most recent novel, The Blood Moon, for consideration. Please cross your appendages for me! I’ve been submitting quite a few short stories and poems, too, and yes, receiving a fair share of both acceptances and declines. I’m also working on a piece of longer fiction about a haunting. . .

I recently posted a new blog on writing bios.

Now it’s your turn! Have a new blog? An article series? A performance or gallery show coming up? Or perhaps you’re starting a meet-up. Would love to post it here.


Shout Outs!

Martin Roy Hill just released The Last Refuge, which is book II in his Peter Brandt Thriller series.
