Since my day job cut me down to two days a week, I decided to turn the crappy situation into an opportunity to get more writing done and more submissions out. I'm currently at 31,000 words on Emperor of Vangaard, and 1500 words on a nonfiction article. In the past two days, I've sent out two queries and seven submissions.
I've also recently came up with ideas for about fifteen or so articles to write.
What can I say? I'm getting sick of dealing with crappy day jobs again. >( Continue

At a party late one night
Saw this vixen smile at me
She said come up to my room
If there’s more you’d like to see
Something told me not to
Lust said it had to be
She pulled me into her room
Used a key to lock the door
Started kissing on my neck
Took off all the clothes I wore
When her fangs scratched my neck
My blood began to pour
In the corner stood a bro… Continue

Okay - not strictly Fantasy - but being NC of Wonderlands has to give me some perks! Carl Sagan is my all-time hero and this made me smile all day!
Enjoy!

ETA: Was going to take this down as it's been up for 2 weeks - then I remembered that November 9th was Carl Sagan's birthday - with Nov 7th having been named 'Carl Sagan Day' in some parts of the US... so I have ADDED the following> "Pale Blue Dot" Please watch it. Beautiful...… Continue
The fantasy genre thrives on multiple book series. Readers love getting into an exciting world of magic populated by great characters, and then having multiple novels with which to enjoy the experience. Publishers do a lot of printing to meet this need, but then readers often complain that promising series degenerate into meandering narratives that go no where.

Holiday on Phreetum Prime
by Richard H. Fay
Twin red suns rise over a crimson sea
As wudols twitter a raucous chorus
Amongst the majestic etafal trees.
Saunter beneath the weeping purple fronds
And sip a cup of sytunn flower tea
While wine-stained waters kiss a chartreuse shore.
Sail t… Continue

Hi all,
My name is Gabriel, and I'm an employee of Excelsior Youth Center (http://www.excelsioryc.org/), a residential treatment center for girls aged 11-19. Girls come to us from around the country when their emotional displays are too great for their families and schools to handle. They come to us rather than heading to detention, and we are given an opportunity to work with them on ways to better manage their lives, with the goal of reuniting them wi… Continue

While traveling we always have new experiences, whether they are amazing, life changing or just disillusioning. Tell us your travel story. It may deal with a travel journey to a new place, time traveling, revisiting one's past, visiting a lost love or a new one, or an inner journey. Travel reports can be as much about one's internal navigation of their emotions as a physical voyage.
There is currently running a free-to-enter short story contest on BookRix for writers and readers. The theme is "… Continue

My publisher recently posted an ebook edition of Vampires of the Scarlet Order at All Romance ebooks. I've never really thought of the Scarlet Order series as being romance. However, romance is very much a part of the book. There's the romance between the vampires Daniel and Mercy, Hunter and Alice and of course Rudolfo and Jane. I also imply a romantic relationship between the more minor characters of Alexandra and Roquelaure. Because this is a vampire book, I've not been afraid to fol… Continue
