So, where’ve you been, Katherine?
Pretty much working, exercising, and writing my novel. And nagging my sister to put dog pictures on Flickr. I think the world needs more pet pictures, don't you? Isn't that an Avenue Q song? "The Internet is for Pet Pictures"? Current novel wordcount: 48,828. We've...
Congratulations! it’s a novel.
My novel-in-progress is over 40,000 words. Yay, it's a novel! It's not a complete novel, mind you. In fact, it's a half-complete novel. But it's 40,000 words, and a girl needs milestones.
ebook fever!
I just subscribed to Asimov's as an ebook from fictionwise. See, I love Asimov's, but I hate the way all those little digest-sized books start to cover every available surface of my home. This is much better, because they just go onto my PDA and are there for me any...

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. Is it worth being able to live forever if, in the end, we’ll lose the ones we love to mortality? Is Death really the ultimate enemy to life, or is death just life’s misunderstood old friend? 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.
