Today’s post can be found at http://magicalwords.net, the group blog on the business and craft of writing fantasy that I maintain with fellow authors Faith Hunter, Misty Massey, A.J. Hartley, Stuart Jaffe, and Edmund Schubert, among others. The post is called “An Author’s List of Things That Go Bump in the Night” and it’s about the things that scare us writers — a special Halloween post. I hope you enjoy it.

I would also direct your attention to a terrific post on self-promotion by my agent, Lucienne Diver.  The post can be found at the MagicalWords blogsite.
