The great thing about writing is that even if it's the dead of winter in Connecticut (with a bazillion feet of snow on the ground), you can write yourself someplace warmer. Perhaps a spy thriller set in the Caribbean or a steamy romance on the Mediterranean Coast. And while you're in the zone, I guarantee you'll forget all about the cold.

If you're interested in warming those creative juices, I have a number of workshops planned for February and March. Want to hear about the pros and cons of self-publishing versus traditional publising? Or perhaps you're struggling to find markets for your work?

Here are the latest dates:

Saturday, Feb. 28, 2015: “Traditional vs. Self-Publishing” Canton Public Library -- 2:30 p.m.

Saturday, Mar. 14, 2015: “Getting Your Work Published” Clark Memorial Library, Bethany, Conn. -- 1 p.m.

Saturday, Mar. 21, 2015: “Traditional vs. Self-Publishing” Clark Memorial Library, Bethany, Conn. -- 1 p.m.

Saturday, Mar. 28, 2015: “Writing Fantasy and Science-Fiction” Clark Memorial Library, Bethany, Conn. -- 1 p.m.

In addition to my workshop tour, I'm also going to be appearing on Cavaliere’s Cabaret at Lyric Hall in New Haven, Conn., on Friday, March 20. Hosted by award-winning Cabaret performer Anne Tofflemire, the event begins with a song, dance and arts variety show, followed by an open mic.

Finally, I've had the great fortune to be able to do some freelance writing for Art of MtG.com, a website that celebrates the artwork and artists of the collectible card game Magic: The Gathering. If you like fantasy art or would like to hear insights from artists working in the business, head on over to the site to read my interviews with Eric Deschamps and Raymond Swanland.

Thanks for reading!
