That's possibly because I'm lucky, but I don't think so. Too many other writers whom I respect say that they don't believe in it either.

The key - at least for me - seems to be always thinking about stories and writing. I don't wait until I'm at the keyboard; I'm taking in inspiration and thinking about it all the time: in the car, in the shower, before I fall asleep. By the time I sit to write, I already know more or less what I want to say (though it's important and fun to leave room for surprises!).(less)

Jane and the Stillroom Maid by Stephanie Barron

Although I love the entire Austen Mysteries series so far, some of the individual books can drag. Barron's version of Austen is always a great, funny, observant, courageous detective, so she and her supporting cast and all of the historical details that Barron includes are enough to keep me interested. But some of the books have had stretches in which I was eager to get back to the investigati Read more of this blog post »

I've been hot and cold on the Ambrose Bierce short stories I've read. My reaction to this collection of comics adaptations of his work is consistent with that. In fact, I was mostly negative on it. He's a bitter and cynical writer, which is usually n ...more

Lovely, atmospheric, and emotional story about a family that's asked to move into a farmhouse for a month to determine whether or not it's haunted.

It's a children's book, so it's quick and breezy, but there's a good shock or two. The descriptions of
