Haven't been on the forums lately, but I wrote a short piece covering methods for backing up artistic works (writing or photos) stored on your computer. How prepared are you for a complete hard drive failure?

I'd like to get all your thoughts on why publishing companies haven't started using commercials to advertise new books.

Small teaser of my current WIP

I posted about WriteOnCon, a free online writers' conference happening in August. I am excited!

INTERMISSION BEFORE THE LAST ACT BEGINS
Arc, loyal reader at the Quonset Hut, has this to say about the story of THE GOOD-BYE MAN.

Once in a while an event happens in the course of human history that is worthy of note. Some may involve feats of strength and danger, others endurance against the odds, but sometimes it is the quiet and determined events that deserve a closer look. It is through the eyes of the people involved that we have a chance to explore the lives and characters of people that the world would otherwise quietly consign to shadows and obscurity. It is through these stories that we see the time, the energy, and the ongoing personal toll it takes to carry the spark of human compassion, integrity and triumph. Linda's is one of those stories.

wait for it...
