The Zmora: January 2012

Tuesday, January 3, 2012. 10 Novels - Guaranteed to Scare. Given that I am a horror writer, I find it astounding that that ever shrinking section marked as horror in the bookstores I frequent, has escaped evolution. You have your Stephen King and Dean Koontz novels; a few vampires, the odd werewolf, but nothing new that you can sink your teeth into. Now it’s not that I don’t love Koontz and King…. But where are the emerging writers? 8220;The House on the Borderland" by William Hope Hodgson. Live and Work...

The Zmora: The Brave New World
http://thezmora.blogspot.com/2012/02/brave-new-world.html
Sunday, February 5, 2012. The Brave New World. As I wake up to a life in the brave new world of self-publishing, I have contradictory emotions. The ‘snobby’ writer part of me that has me rolling my eyes at the very idea of self-publishing (combined with the holier than thou comments that leave my lips) and the revelation that although it is different, maybe it isn’t about admitting defeat, as I first believed. It is by no means easy. I kid you not; I have worked my arse off. Hell, not even close. Self-pu...

The Zmora: November 2011
http://thezmora.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 16, 2011. I was unaware of dawn breaking when it happened at my place; I didn’t wake up until about 9am given that my daughter and I went to a 12.01am showing of Breaking Dawn, part one of the last of the Twilight movies. They leave it so long between movies that I keep thinking I’ll be disappointed. I wasn’t; it was actually pretty good. I have read those books multiple times. I mean they are not particularly well written. No burning in the sun; garlic – myth! With Smashwords, if you...

The Zmora: October 2011
http://thezmora.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 28, 2011. I decided that I couldn't really blog about my book, so I would just blog about writing. The ambition to become something that is a minefield of variables; your life’s work… Dependent on how someone feels on any given day – or maybe they just don’t particularly like the genre I’m writing in. Then, if that wasn’t enough, we have to add human nature into the equation. I write romance and it lands on an editor’s desk. For the record, I don't write romance, I write horror. Why?
