edit data

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (otherwise known as Long Island, New York), Lori Martin was a fantasy author whose first novel THE DARKLING HILLS was published by New American Library and Signet in the 1980s. Falling prey to life’s many distractions, including the necessity of earning a living and raising children, Martin nearly forgot how much fun it is to make stuff up. She has recently returned to fantasy writing, issuing a new edition of THE DARKLING HILLS as well as its long-awaited sequel, CALLING UP THE FIRE, now available for the first time in the original English. Martin is currently at work on a new series.

Stephen King Has My Pin

Stephen King has the PIN to my banking account. Yes, I know he’s a busy man who has another gazillion books to write. But I had to ask him to keep my PIN after it became impossible for me to remember it or my own passwords to . . . well, anything.
The first time I was asked to create a password by my bank was many years ago. I was leaning out of my car window, nervously interacting with a screen t Read more of this blog post »
