M.S. Edwards has been a manager at a lingerie store, a marketing intern at the Berkeley Richmond Jewish Community Center, and a PR assistant (read: she threw parties) for a national grocery outlet. Currently, she has become the cliché of all writer clichés: a high school English teacher by day and a relentless author by night. So when she's not corrupting the minds of America's youth with sexy Shakespeare, she is assiduously bringing to life the myriad characters in her head and gleefully relishing the fact that people enjoy her characters because they all use words like 'assiduously' and 'myriad'. ...more

And before you roll your eyes and scream "Derivative!" may I humbly submit that authors should write what they know, and I am a high school English teacher by day, so all my stories inevitably feature school in one way or another.

I Forgot the Fragging Glossary

Photo by Engin Akyurt: https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-standing-at-the-beach-2174621/

(and I’m not re-uploading the book)

So here I am. On the shore of my own shame.

Somewhere between formatting the manuscript, designing the cover, and triple-checking the print bleed, I forgot something kind of important:

The glossary.
You know—the part that explains all the terms I hurl at you within the first five pages of A Fierce Allegiance like a narratively over-caffeinated raccoon.

Is this wo

“It’s sarcasm, Josh.”

“Sarcasm?”

“It’s from the Greek, sarkasmos. To bite the lips. It means that you aren’t really saying what you mean, but people will get your point. I invented it, Bartholomew named it.”

“Well, if the village idiot named it, I’m sure it’s a good thing.”

“There you go, you got it.”

“Got what?”

“Sarcasm.”

“No, I meant it.”

“Sure you did.”

“Is that sarcasm?”

“Irony, I think.”

“What’s the difference?”

“I haven’t the slightest idea.”

“So you’re being ironic now, right?”

“No, I really don’t know.”

“Maybe you should ask the idiot.”

“Now you’ve got it.”

“What?”

“Sarcasm.”
Christopher Moore, Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal

“In fact, “talent” is as common as mud; what’s rare is the motivation to sit down and actually do something with one’s talent, the discipline to do it regularly, and the persistence to stick with it until it’s finished.”
