I grew up as a hyperactive child before any real proper diagnosis of ADD was ever done, and managed to some extent with a restricted diet free of many of the stupider E numbers. So perhaps it shouldn&#8217;t be surprising that I&#8217;ve [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first of Joseph D&#8217;Lacey&#8217;s Snake Eyes pair of novellas, A Man of Will and Experience tells a tale where the fractured and many-layered psyche of the main character is as much an antagonist as any of the &#8216;spiders&#8217; or plant-zombies he encounters. Beginning in a dream, transitioning to a very-normal world and a hyper-normal [&#8230;]]]></description>

Learning by example is one of the most fundamental and seemingly obvious pieces of advice anyone can give an aspiring author like myself, for a huge number of reasons.

		<description><![CDATA[My story concept for my current novel began about a year ago as a table-top role playing game (RPG) scenario. Set in a pseudo-medieval fantasy realm, the concept focused on a patriarchal theocratic society where what would often be considered normal freedoms would be oppressed. It began with three main characters, who were somewhat fantasy [&#8230;]]]></description>

The muse cannot be ordered, or tricked, for she comes when she will. She can only be cajoled, persuaded, or bartered with, and any bargain may both weaken and strengthen he that makes it.
