I linked to your blog on my Freshly Impressed post this week. I love your Monday tips. I hope that is okay with you. http://mythoughtsonapage.com/2015/10/12/freshly-impressed-14/
Wendy, you are a human dynamo! I just read your blog about reprints. Something to keep in mind always. Thank you.
Thanks Patricia, but the reprint article was by guest poster DH Aire. 🙂 As to the dynamo….well, I try my best. 🙂
A great background, Wendy. I’m into movies–my hat tip to the visual media. So great to see you recognized in such a vast array of talented topics and subjects. Please keep up your writing in the SF/fantasy genres!
Thanks, Chris. I’m primarily SF/Fantasy author, so there will certainly be more of those sort of books in the pipeline. 🙂
