I’m writing a ghost story for an anthology that MLR Press is putting out called SCARED STIFF. It’s four ghost stories from Josh Lanyon, Sarah Black, William Maltese and myself. We all said ‘cool a ghost story, great!’ and wandered off to write our own, having nothing more in common than a ghost theme and […]

First of all, I love the movie Donnie Darko. I mean seriously, with a totally unhealthy fascination. And it’s NOT just because of that scene where Jake Gyllenhaal almost masturbates on screen! Well, not entirely. It’s just a fantastic movie. It’s scary, funny, sad, intense. It makes you think, but makes you laugh at the […]

[ September 25, 2007; ] Enough To Let You Go by Willa Okati
From: Loose-Id Coming Sept 25th

Sometimes the best way to love someone is to let them go. Paul gave his heart to his best friend Max years ago, and would have been thrilled to spend the rest of his life with the charismatic charmer. Max has different ideas […]

’tisn’t fair, I tell you. Been sitting here much of the day trying to figure out how to write what I need to write. Notice I didn’t say “what” to write. Nah, I’ve got that. Not the details, but I know the gist of it. Should be relativly smooth going, in fact. If I could […]

Okay, so it goes without saying that anyone who reads this blog is most likely also a regular, if not avid, reader of books. Translate this to mean that none of us can go on vacation for a week, or even a weekend, without packing a selection of books. Generally, I pack one book for […]

I’d call it my day job, but it’s really my night job. I’m an emergency trauma nurse when I’m not being a mother, wife, author, promoter and publisher. To fit it into my busy schedule, pay the bills and still spend time with the family, I work double shifts-evenings/nights on the weekends.
This past weekend was […]

I got my Dragon*Con cherry popped this year, oh yes! Kiernan Kelly had asked me to sit on a panel of published authors, to which I said “heck yeah!”. The panel was great, loads of fun, with a wonderful and responsive audience. I got to meet sooooo many cool people at the Con, it was […]
