As much as we authors wish we could write at the speed of light to please our readers with our finished books alas we cannot. I am only one semester away from graduating from college so my writing has taken a bit of back seat to my education. I can assure you though Aradia will be continued soon and the edited version of book two will be released.Harrison R. Bradlow wants to make sure that the

I will not be so bold as to say I handle every criticism gracefully. Sadly no human being can do that. But I like to believe I handle a bad review as a good author should. An example of how an author should handle a bad review is this.

Being an author means inevitably getting bad reviews. I accept this whole heartedly but alas not every author does. I like to believe in spite of having a busy schedule with school and writing I maintain a good communicative relationship with my fans and reviewers. Mind you, not all of my reviewer friends are fans of my work and I accept this. In fact, I always ask them for suggestions for how my

Hemlock Grove Season Grove 2 confirmed! "Hemlock Grove" season 2 is official! The Netflix horror original has formally received a second season order. It's not a big surprise, but Netflix sure took its time: the option on the actors was about to expire, so it sounds like some tense behind closed doors negotiations must have taken place. Regardless, "Hemlock Grove" is coming back: the

Being a mother is no easy task, but being a stylish mother to be is no picnic either. A friend of mine even complained that all the maternity clothes she had seen so far were not very attractive and all looked like clothes that you wouldn't even dress a dog in. Yes, you are becoming a mother but that doesn't mean you shouldn't still want to look good.  Alas, there are not many stores that

My editor Harrison R. Bradlow and his beautiful wife just welcomed a new addition to their family. A little girl named Josephine Day. Lillian Chaia has a baby sister and is just thrilled about it! Can't blame her. It rocks having a sister. I think even Aradia can attest to that.

Milton Olive jumped on a grenade in Vietnam in 1965, and saved the lives of four soldiers - including Robert Toporek, who never forgot it. 20 years later, he visited Milton's father - and discovered that theMedal of Honor recipient had a park, a playground, and a housing project named for Milton. Robert had an epiphany."Damn, he's having a bigger impact dead than I am alive," said the Vietnam

Ryan was attacked earlier this week outside of a restaurant while standing up for his two friends who are #gay.Ryan and his friends Josh and Jacob were eating when the harassment began. Jacob was dressed in drag and three men began to verbally abuse them. Ryan and his two friends decided

Everybody matters! Trevor Sims of Baton Rouge died last week after a five year battle with rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare #cancer that typically affects kids. Though sick, Trevor was determined to start a food drive to help combat hunger -- something he was all too well acquainted with: when he was first diagnosed, his mother was unable to buy food."We were starving for two or three days in a row,"

Tom here from Everyone Matters...As Halloween approaches, let's talk about witches – since you're seeing a lot of them around. Most people only know about witches from TV and movies, the Halloween costumes and caricatures. Two networks are debuting shows about witches -- Lifetime's 'Witches of East End' and FX's "American Horror Story: Coven." I always find myself a little amused at the way

A while back we told you about Gary Pickering: formerly#homeless, Gary began constructing pod-like shelters to help people down on their luck escape the elements and regain a little dignity. Inspired by Gary's idea, Florida resident Bruce Hicks has created a similar shelter.Bruce owns Food Truck Heaven, a business where he converts old bread trucks into food service vehicles.

The Werewolf Symbol As described in book five, the history of the werewolf in the Aradian universe is as follows. The very first werewolf was a Roman Emperor named Romulus who along with his twin brother Remus was suckled by a she-wolf. Supposedly, Romulus absorbed more of the wolf's essence than his brother. This gave him more of the instincts of a wolf and the abilities as well. Later on in
