More and more, I’m noticing urban fantasy and paranormal romance authors writing certain words using italic font.  Words like “change” or “shift” or “call” for example.  They italicize these words to show that they mean something a little different than what they would normally mean.  Like ‘change‘ might mean to turn into a...

Question – Are There Debut Authors Who Have Really Impressed You This Year?

Question – Are There Debut Authors Who Have Really Impressed You This Year?

Every year, new authors come out of the woodwork and knock the pants off of me.  There are some authors that are new to a genre but that’s not who I’m talking about.  I’m talking about authors that, up until the moment their book published, have been lurking in their basement feverishly writing away just looking for their shot to get printed.  And when they do...
