Friends in this Crazy Business!

Improbability Productions, the best book trailer designer.

Laura Deal, a fantasy writer whose characters make me weep and sing and cry out with joy. Laura is also a teacher, certified dreamworker, and the first writer to critique my novel-length fiction. Brave woman! How many worlds have we have traveled together? How many villains have we deposed? We should stop and have a party!

Karen Albright Lin, a writer of exquisite women's fiction, add some mainstream, toss in a dash of paranormal, a sip of comedy, and don't forget screenplays. Oh, those screenplays. We've co-written two and a third is simmering on the back burner. Did I mention Karen is also an inspired chef and cookbook author? Yum!

Julie Kaewert, the best of mystery writers. Her Plumtree Press series is rare, unpredictable to the final word. With her consummate attention to detail and fascinating plots that invariably educate, Julie's gentle elegance and grace are... unforgettable.

Shannon Baker writes stories that make you laugh and weep and shout! From emotional essays about her life in Nebraska to her soon-to-be-released thriller, Ashes of the Red Heifer, Shannon's words and worlds will haunt you forever.

Karen Robinson, fantasy writer, self-help author and poet. Throw in some calculus and a passion for justice, and you'll quickly realize that Karen uses both sides of her brain along with her great heart in everything she embraces.

Karen Duvall, a multi-tasking star. She's a graphic designer and writes gripping action, suspense, and fantasy novels along with short fiction. Karen also keeps up on the world of publishing and shares what she learns, so check out her blog and you'll learn something new.

Carol Berg, epic fantasy writer extraordinaire. Carol generously mentors so many of us while creating complex societies inhabited by passionate characters whose honor always inspires, just as Carol always inspires.

Publishers

Casemate Publishing, the leading publisher of military history. Watch for Fogg in the Cockpit in May 2011!

The Wild Rose Press, publisher of romance in so many sub-genres that you'll find many that interest you (besides my Vintage Rose, Soliloquy, of course)! Did I mention how nice everyone is at the Press?

A Few Resources for Writers

Pikes Peak Writers sponsors literary conferences, seminars, and study groups. They support published and not-yet published writers of fiction and non-fiction and their April conference is one of the best I've attended. An enthusiastic group of writers committed to the literary arts. Sign up early.

Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers is dedicated to writers of commercial novel-length fiction. Need to learn about the business of writing? RMFW will help you as they've helped me. And hopefully youâ€™ll make some special friends along the way, especially at their annual conference in September.

Preditors & Editors allows you to look up good folks and bad in the publishing world. Check here before you query.

Absolute Write is a great forum for writers. Want to research a topic? Need advice about a publisher or an agent or contract language? Search here. The discussions are lively and blunt.

Pub Rants, a very nice (and funny) agent offers daily commentary on the publishing industry.
