Now this is funny - I have been studied.  Seems as if two college Creative Writing/Literature classes were focusing on "local authors" and I have been under the microscope, so to speak. A few students commented that I need more content on my web site.  So, in an effort to expand, I'm putting a few of my favorite FWIW columns up again.  (FWIW - For What It's Worth is a column I did before blogs.)

FWIW Archives (please note, if there are links, they're probably old.)


Also, I'll be adding the following in the next few weeks: 

♥  A Scotsman in Love - blurbs about this book, how I had the idea to write it, and more (6/09).

♥  More freebies! 

♥  Character studies, both of those people who never made it into my books, and people who feature prominently in them. 

♥  A sample manuscript page from beginning to publication.

♥  My worst mistakes - things I wish I'd never done.  Yes, they still come back to haunt me.  One clue - dialect!   

♥  My opinion of the best writing/agent/editor advice on the web
