Blog postMy best reading discovery so far of 2018, I think, is Claire North/Kate Griffin/Catherine Webb, whom I thank in particular for The Sudden Appearance of Hope and The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August. I thought they were brilliant and they inspired me as a writer. I expect I will read both of those books again.
I rarely discover writers when they first come to general acclaim. It takes a while. There are so many. Another not-so-newbie for whom I was late to the party is N.K. Jemisin. -
Blog postSo I thought of something that I, as a writer, can provide to everyone … and it is something that everyone needs, eventually, so why not now?

Up there with Dorothy Parker, et. al.
Among his more self-deprecating bons mots:

Blog postYep. There I am on page 127 of “Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure.”
Smith Magazine got the idea, see, from Hemingway, that one can say quite a lot in six words, which of course, one can, whether one is famous or obscure. Most of us would be the latter.
