Inspiration behind The Star and the Strange Moon
Inspiration behind The Star and the Strange Moon My third book, The Star and the Strange Moon, is out November 14th. I’d admit my books are a little strange. They’ve got trippy little plots—whether a witch is reincarnated again and again or a circus set in Hell, one of the most common questions I get, […]
Sarah J. Makowski: On Language and Writing
Since childhood, I’d dreamed of living in England, the birthplace of my literary heroes. I’d walk through Bath arm-in-arm with Anne Elliot. I’d run into the Pevensie kids on the train to London.

Michelle Cruz: On Writing
If I’m honest, it’s Tom Clancy and John Grisham’s faults. Although they weren’t exactly approved authors in my ultra-conservative upbringing, at least they weren’t forbidden. But there were few women, and—especially in Tom Clancy’s case—they were tangential to the plot, barely mentioned, and often more of a footnote. So in all the audacity of my […]

Then another story calls to me and new characters begin to take shape, claiming my full attention and replacing my former favorites. Josie and Vic were […]

Behind the Scenes of THE BEAUTIFUL MISFITS
Behind the Scenes of THE BEAUTIFUL MISFITS By Susan Reinhardt Other than a job as a supermodel, I can’t think of any career besides writing that whacks a person’s self-worth each time we put ourselves out there. Oh, how close I’ve come to the golden writing ticket, the one opening the gatekeepers’ doors. Oh, the […]
