  • Final Poem, Blog Schedule/Survey, Newsletters

    It’s the last day of April, and also the last day of National Poetry Month! I have to admit, I didn’t read a poem this week. The weather was nice, the sun beckoned, and much yard work (and a little inside cleaning) ensued. But poetry isn’t something that needs to be relegated to one month…

  • Writing Prompt Deadlines, Release Date/Preorders, April Newsletter

    Happy Spring! Here in Montana, the bulbs are coming up, the snow is melting, and everyone’s swapping out heavy coats for jackets and getting those bikes back out of the garage. Some afternoons, it’s even nice enough to go out on the porch with a notebook or laptop and do a little writing…maybe using one…

      Prompt word of the week: Dream. Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and I was thinking about how his “I Have a Dream” speech is very popular, but I don’t think I’ve ever read one of his books. So I looked up a few of his titles, and these three stood out to…

  • Happy Birthday to…Me!

    Prompt word of the week: Birthday! Do you know your character’s birthday? How do they like to celebrate? I will be turning 50 this coming Friday, which is quite exciting, I think. And Brazen Snake Books is turning 15 this year, which is also something to celebrate. This got me wondering about the birthdays of…

    Happy New Year!

    Prompt word of the week: “Cheese” You may have noticed some changes here and there to the site (small, but the product catalog is now much improved aesthetically), and we’ve been doing a lot of work in the background, not just to this site, but to our author sites as well.  The beginning of a…
