CHAPTER 5 of BLOOD ROUTES is UP
The comments sections are depressingly empty over there folks. Which leads me to believe that one of two things is happening:
1 - No one is reading
2 - Lots of people are reading but think that it sucks.
Don't be scared folks...go over and say hi. Or to say "Hi...this sucks. Here's why..."

They may sound silly, or wasteful (perfectly good booze, after all) or unintuitive, [...]
Thanksgiving
Friends and relatives around he world sing the same song: “We don’t have Thanksgiving here.” Here is New Zealand, South Africa, England, Israel…and on and on. This year, because we are down to three of us—my guardian angel/chef and one friend who lives alone—I stopped to think about what that means.
“We don’t have [...]
In love as it is in war
I promised some friends (and students) that I would talk about how one goes about writing a successful sex scene. There are a lot of theories about this–one school, for example, believes that a successful sex scene should titillate. (Do they believe a successful dinner scene should make you hungry? I write my dinner scenes [...]
“genre vs literary” in the days of the Technorenaissance
1
I was hanging out in a writer’s forum and came across the age-old question of how do you define genre and literary? which always turns into genre vs literary: genre types bash the literati for lacking plot (which is absurd), while the literati bash the genre-ati for lacking everything else (equally absurd).
One person [...]
