"This is why we tell fictional stories. To connect with others at some level by creating worlds that express truths that facts alone cannot." Like many work-where-you-want professions, writing can have an isolating effect on one’s life. Many people may assume that being free of annoying bosses/co-workers and able to set your own hours would be a perfect way to live. The truth is that people are social animals. This is why we tell … [Read more...]

Blame it on Nancy Drew
I’ve been a book lover for as long as I could read. When I was a girl, at around age nine or ten, my mother introduced me to the Nancy Drew mystery series. From the moment I began reading them, I was hooked. What could be cooler to a young girl than to solve mysteries with her friends and have a really awesome blue convertible (or was it a coupe of another color?) to solve them in? From my start with Nancy Drew, I moved on to other mystery … [Read more...]
My Writing Technique: Simple Tips From a Crime Fiction Author
When it comes to writing novels, I’ve always found it helpful to break down the scenes on index cards. A story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. I make it a point of knowing (roughly) how I’d like my story to end.

Each beat of a story needs … [Read more...]

Author Spotlight: John Robinson (aka Cameron Bane)
This week's featured author is John Robinson (aka Cameron Bane). Here is what he told us about the inner world of authors: Lately I’ve been reading some older paperbacks, and the last one I finished is a corker. It’s a mishmosh of genres—science fiction, horror, comedy, tragedy, suspense, even a spiritual subtext—but somehow the author pulls it all together, and the result is a mindbending roller-coaster ride that’s not for the … [Read more...]
Cameron Bane Brings His Brand of Suspense Thriller To WildBlue Press With the John Brenner Series
Cameron Bane is the pen-name for an author who has written several other thrillers but has chosen to now write under this nom de plume. We asked him, why the change? "A few years ago I wrote a couple inspirational novels that sold well, but don't really reflect my style now. The split came when I wanted to explore darker, more mature themes than that market would allow, and rather than force the issue, I simply left it. With my newer works, … [Read more...]
