A note in advance: I fully expect that some people will be riled up by many of the things I’ve said here. You won’t hurt my feelings by telling me so, and I am more than happy to enter into any civil discussion. Cynicism, Realism, Sensationalism -- and Where DID I Misplace that Sense of...

The following is to be regarded as an opinion piece. Since it's my opinion, naturally I think it's pure gold, but I don't necessarily expect others to hold it in equally high esteem. ON ORIGINALITY (WITH SOME ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS ON THE SUBJECT OF STYLE) I’ve been giving a lot of thought...

Here begins my pseudo-blog. This will be the master thread, with news, my less expansive ramblings, links to the longer ones, and anything else I decide to throw in. Just because I'll be holding forth, please don't think that comments and discussion are unwelcome here. (It's exactly the...

Here are some pictures of some family projects I thought other people might find amusing. Megan and I made the pirate ship cake for Daisy's birthday (in our family, we refuse to grow up, thank you very much). It was a fairly big project, since we had to experiment with a prototype first...

Because when he gave me this sub-forum Brian said that I could do with it as I would, and because things have lately been about as lively around here as your average corpse, I've been mulling over the idea of treating the Madeline forum like a blog -- or at least like what I conceive a blog to...

So, after nothing much happening for quite a while ... a deluge of news. I received on Friday: bound galleys for A Dark Sacrifice. These are the uncorrected proofs that go out to reviewers. When I have the "real" book in hand (the end of November or the beginning of December) we'll have a...

So they've put me on a BayCon panel about anti-heroes. The title of the panel mentions villains and anti-heroes, but the panel description makes it obvious the actual topic is the rise of the anti-hero. I can think of a few books I've read recently where the main characters fit that...

Teresa, has Amazon dropped The Hidden Stars? I had the product link set up for the page with your interview and in my aStore, but now it says that it's an invalid product and has been removed. Pity, if they did. It hasn't been that long since you published it.:confused: EDIT: Figures. When I...

Teresa, would you consider doing a (very short) interview for the first issue of my magazine? EDIT: Oh, is it okay to ask this here?

Yes, I finally finished. It's a completed manuscript. It's DONE. More to the point, it's been accepted with only minor changes; it's on the way to the copy-editor as I write this. The title is not one that I really wanted, but it's appropriate to the story. And it's on the schedule...

We seem to go from one to the next these days. So many that I've largely gone numb to the effects. I mentioned in another thread that I suffered a horrible bout of intestinal flu at the end of last week/the beginning of this. It's gone through my family and my son-in-law's family like...

For those of you who live near San Francisco and who might be looking for something to do on a Monday night: I'm going to be doing a reading and a Q&A at the Hotel Metropolis "Sneak Peek Literary Lounge" (yes, it does sound faintly disreputable, but it's not supposed to be), on March 19, at...

I was a guest speaker for a high school writing club yesterday. This wasn't my first time visiting a school to talk about writing, but it was the first time for a group made up exclusively of kids who wanted to be writers. And I was impressed by the questions they asked, and how serious they...

Hello all, I have not read any of your books Teresa but am looking forward to starting on them, I was wondering if you or anyone else could suggest the best place to start. I am more interrested in the novels than the short stories. Is there a best place to start? Thanks

Hello. :) Eagerly waiting your second book. My question is: what, if any, books have you used to research over the years? Do you find yourself going back to the books when it comes to looking up subjects, or is it more of the internet, or something else (hubbie)?

Some of you may be aware that one of the hot new things in book promotion is making a trailer of scenes (as though from a movie) and broadcasting it on YouTube. Carolyn and I were talking about this yesterday, and I was saying that a video/trailer is all very well for people with mainstream...

I was wondering Teresa, are you going to have a synopsis or something at the beginning of the book? (I don't know if someone has already asked you) Its been a while since I read the book and it would be really helpful. :)

After working my way through David Gemmell's (R.I.P)works I was on the look out for a new book. I spotted the Hidden Stars at a local store and was taken by the cover. It was a great piece of work. So on impulse I bought it. I just thought id come and write about how much I enjoyed it. I...

Being the final volume of The Green Lion Trilogy. Teresa, I'm not surprised that you claim to have enough material for twelve books set in this realm. The depth of your creations never cease to amaze me. I thoroughly enjoyed the final part of this trilogy and am at a loss to understand why this...

I read your book, The Hidden Stars, a while ago when it first came out. It was a wonderful book and I was wondering when the sequel will come out. I just read The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein and Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank, they were great classics and I recommend them to...
