To make a long story short, the bit of code that made my book reviews magically appear in your inboxes broke some time ago, and I only just recently (a) figured that out and even more recently (b) figured out how to fix it. I think. I hope. Well, this is where we find out. If this message works, I will continue onward with the backlog of reviews, because there were some really fantastic books in there and frankly I’d be a little sad if I never got a chance to talk to you guys about them.… >> Read more

I do not make a claim of being a particularly good artist. But I was at a kaffeeklatsch at Worldcon (report to follow) with Heather Rose Jones, author of the fabulous Daughter of Mystery and The Mystic Marriage (reviews to follow – I’m behind, okay?) and she mentioned she had never had any fan art. Well, that is a crying shame!… >> Read more

I am switching around my website. I’ll avoid technical details, but suffice it to say there may some downtime or strange errors over the next few days.

The end result will be that the current address of this blog, emepps.com, will be taken over by a proper website that will feature my writing. The blog will still exist exactly as it is now, but it will be at blog.emepps.com.… >> Read more

Screw it. My feature was a bug, through-and-through. I’ve disabled that (non)function, and everyone who was subscribed to only a subsection of the blog is now subscribed to the full feed.… >> Read more

If you subscribe to my email newsletter, and have gotten the same (old) post about my novella “To Hell and Back Again” multiple times, I apologize. I’m mystified as to what’s causing the glitch, and tech support for MailChimp is reduced over Easter weekend so I don’t expect to hear back from them right away. Please bear with me while I investigate.… >> Read more

One of my best friends, whom I’ve known since childhood, is currently living in the same apartment as her abusive husband. She wants a divorce but doesn’t have the money to get out. You can read her story here. Please donate if you can – $5, $50 or $500, anything will help.

Even if you can’t donate, you can help by re-sharing this post on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Tumblr, or your blog.… >> Read more
