It got posed to me earlier today by a friend about the issue of refusing to read the works of an author whose personal opinion you offends you deeply. Basically it goes like this: Orson Scott Card, the famous (some would say infamous) author of the bestselling “Ender’s Game”, has made many statements which are [...]
So, for those who care about the novel I’m working on, I’ve managed to decide on a title; “Valkyrie in Progress”. Now, naming a book is no small feat and I’m pretty pleased with how this one’s come out. To be honest, I didn’t think I’d have one this soon, but inspiration struck me while [...]

The hardest part for me about writing something like this, even with my short stories, has always been to get started.
