I’m going to start this with another “help me choose the cover” like I’ve done in the past. You met Samantha on Sunday. Even if she’s not the protagonist of the body switch, she’s the one who did it, as you have noticed from the excerpt, so I decided she could have the cover spotlight [...]

Writer Wednesday
Mighty Jo passed me the Sunshine Award, but I answered her questions on her blog, and I’m not going to pass it on, haha! OK, as usual, if you want it, go grab it, and answer her questions and I don’t want to come up with new ones. And I’m posting this on one of [...]

Discoveries
So, on day three of the book fair I have made some interesting discoveries (mostly about the Italian market I ignored so far, but also on the European market in general). Europe considers e-books “services” not books, with full VAT instead of the reduced one for books (that’s 14 to 21% according to each European [...]

Like a yo-yo
They say women have mood swings. I don’t know if it’s because I’m a woman or because I’m depressed, but those swings lately are getting worse. As soon as I get up again, another thing hits me. Sigh. I guess that’s life in these hard times of financial distress and whatnot, but it’s wearying me [...]

New releases
Hope you had a great, creative weekend. I can’t complain! I’ve put up two short story collections and updated a couple of shorts that were already out – and were free; not anymore. The only things that will remain free are the ones that showed up on this very blog or Serial Central, i.e. Starblazer [...]

Linky Friday
OK, here’s the last batch of links for the next couple of weeks… Indie inbreeding and the gene pool of diminishing readers – or what should writers blog about. Check also the comments, as it’s an interesting discussion. Why do you read stories? That’s also why I write them, like E.P.Baumont! And don’t forget that [...]

Musings on rewriting
All these musings are not meant to teach anything, just thoughts on how I do things. Now, most people say writing is hard and writing is rewriting. For me none of it is true. Stories pour out of me quite easily, especially when it’s fantasy (or sci-fi) and no research is involved. Making up stuff [...]

Saturday links and other ramblings
First of all, I’m guest posting at Holli Castillo today! Go check my Historical Research Frenzy over there – if you have no idea of my next project (or even if you do) have a look at what this crazy author is up to! On Blood Red Pencil I found Createspace for Smarties. In case [...]

Random links and rants
In the past week I found a few interesting posts I’d like to share. First Justin’s Awkward Writing series on sex, gore and… love! My beta-reader (who is male) told me I’m good with “romantic” moments, so I’m wondering if this “love writing” awkwardness is only for males or also for women… I’m not very [...]

My name is Barb, and I'm a writer, sometimes an artist, mostly a world-creator and storyteller of fantasy worlds. I have more than one pen-name and write in more than one genre.
I blog about life, the universe... OK, you can guess I'm a writer, but not Douglas Adams, so I'll leave the Hitchhiker's Guide aside. And no, I'm not going to spam you by only rambling about my books - if you're interested, just go to the dedicated pages, thank you.
This is my blog, about the "creative barbwire" that I am - there's no rose without thorns, right?
Enjoy...-
