There’s No Accounting for Taste

Recently in my leisure reading, I noticed I had coincidentally chosen a handful of books that all had to do with mermaids or the circus.

The Admirer is a thriller about a serial killer with an amputee fetish. It also contains a lot of lesbian sex. I understood why mainstream publishing did not bite. “Why […]

Celebrating Another Successful Send-Off

  It has only been a few short weeks since I have last updated, but it certainly seems like much longer. As I wrote during my last post of 2013, the launch party for The Ninth Day happened on December 16 at the Koehler House. One of the Ninth Day project team members blogged about […]
