Wow, that was temporarily tragic!
I upgraded the site software and temporarily broke MT-akismet. This was probably the most horrible thing ever to happen to a writer's site. Luckily, the problem was discovered when I asked myself, "Self, why are all those spam comments getting through?" All is well,...
Writer’s group advice?
I'm in a writer's group that is MADE OF AWESOME, but it's also made up of only three people, and one has to take a hiatus. If we were going to increase our numbers, what would you recommend? I'd really rather have our own writer's group than join someone else's. I...
Coming soon!
Me in Electric Velocipede! I'm so excited!

Immortal Gifts invites readers to re-evaluate the meanings of things such as life, death, freedom, hate and love from the first page. Katherine Villyard manages to capture some of the most poignant questions we ask ourselves as we go through our individual lives.

To stop hate, do we need to restrict our freedoms? This book makes readers ask and answer tough questions not only about the characters and plotline, but about their own beliefs, understandings, and dreams.
