Writing has given me the chance to meet a lot of people from all over the world.  I first met Shira Anthony in April of 2013 at the Dreamspinner Press Author workshop. I knew no one when I showed up. But Shira took pity on me and kept me company during dinner one night and we realized we had quite a few common interests beyond writing.  In the past two years I’ve come to appreciate what a true renaissance person Shira is. This is reflected in her work and her interests.  So take a moment to learn more about the wonderfully talented Shira Anthony. Author Interview – Shira Anthony:   Welcome Shira. I can’t believe I’ve never had the chance to …

 Free Fiction Friday: January 16, 2015: Second Shot – The Senior Year: Chapter 43 I started the year putting the links to the last five chapters before each post a couple weeks ago and I’ve noticed they’ve been used so I’m going to continue it for the time being.  If nothing else it will make it easier for folks to find the last few chapters.

Nephy Hart is one of the first people I met writing LGBT fiction. She was a featured author on Gay Authors when I joined. When I emailed her out of the blue with a question, I was more than a little surprised when she answered. But she did and we’ve gone on to be good friends.  She’s previously published under the name Cheryl Headford and Nephylim, but is now using one pen name – Nephy Hart.  Having her kick off my 2015 guest interviews is a great way to start.  So with that, let’s get to it. Welcome back Nephy. I know you’ve been writing for a while, how long would you say you’ve been writing seriously? That not so easy to answer. …
