    Looking for writers want to showcase their work!

    Hello, I run a small blog called Floating Robes. Every Sunday I publish a short story by an unknown author. It's a good way of getting some publicity and getting your name out there. You can submit at floatingrobes(at)gmail.com. Send me your short story/flash fiction/prologue to a novel or...

    Book of Blood - Clive Barker

    Hello, I recently watched this as I found out a friend of mine worked on it. He was one of the art directors and told me many a fine tale of the going-ons on the set. Anyway, I quite liked it and I think it sort of got me interested in Clive Barker. Has anyone read the Book of Blood? I...

    Just a quick short story

    'He does feel ashamed of himself and so he should.' A good piece of writing. First we meet the lamenting young student and then the contradiction in the Romanian immigrant. Not bad. Do keep the author off the page, though, especially when writing in the third person. You, as a human being...

    Hello from Ireland

    Dear Ryan, It's absolutely not stupid. I think the writers showcase is at least 1 way of getting some feedback. Check out other avenues as well, though. Try Authorsden or Issuu, those are great writing communities. I do think you need something like your school, though, if only to get some...

    Just a quick short story

    "The next day I find out that they are a couple again." I take this as an example. One piece of advice that helped me very much, was when someone told me I should not 'tell' the story, but 'show' it. Don't just tell that you found this out, but exactly HOW did you find this out. Invent some...

    Authors get more exposure

    To what database is yours hooked up to? Ingram? How could an author/publisher add their database to yours? And could I get a 'Like' button to show on my blog? Just some questions. For the rest, it looks great, though. Simple and to the point! Keep up the good work! Marcel

    I *miss* Calvin and Hobbes

    Hey guys, I miss Calvin & Hobbes too. For a long time it was my #1 comic book, right after my Garfield-phase. But I've found a good substitute for it, called Lloyd and the Bear by Ian Gibson. It's about a small boy and his bear who get kidnapped by space aliens. The kid is not too smart (just...

    What scares you the most...

    Probably for the best, it'll ruin your happy memories. I remember watching a bit of one of them and it was a big yawn-fest. Same with the Saw-movies. First one, good concept, the rest... well... Marcel

    What scares you the most...

    Yeah, I got to admit, they sent me into a right panic, but I can't help finding extremely interesting at the same time. It's my curse... sigh... Marcel

    For fantasy writers

    Going around the web, I found this call for submissions. Apparently it's a new publisher doing a fantasy anthology. Inceptus Press I am in no way connected to this. It just looked interesting and since there are a lot of authors here, I thought it might help. Regards, Marcel

    What albums have interested you thus far in 2010

    The only two albums I bought in 2010: Mumford & Sons - Sigh no More (folk/rock, I guess) Christopher Tin - Calling all Dawns (new classical. Wonderful!) For 2011 we have to wait what comes out. Since I find these times a bit of a lull for new music, I keep my eyes peeled for the few gems...

    Peter Straub: Ghost Story

    I love Ghost Story and Julia. I think they are his best. I also read The Hellfire Club and it put me off of Straub entirely. But the earlier two are high on my classics list. Marcel
