But then you learn no one will publish sci-fi/fantasy/serious/slightly whimsical mash-ups. They aren’t like the latest bestseller, say literary agents. There’s no shelf for them in book shops, say publishers.
The internet points out, helpfully, that you are wasting your time. Stop writing, i Read more of this blog post »

Cut Off from Sky and Earth:
"In a Nutshell: A psychological suspense thriller with an undertone of a feminist fairytale retelling. A clever story with interesting but complex characters. Avoids most of the pitfalls of the genre such as unreliable narration. Had a couple of thing"

"Rarely for me, I am not rating this. I see reasons that people give it 5 stars; I see reasons that people give it 1 star.

Thanks Ian. It was your recommendation that made me read it - and I’m very glad I did. It’s much more engaging than his Tyrant Philosophers fantasy.

“Some people are able to tell a more or less truthful story about themselves. Others are fantasists. Their sense of who they are is so at odds with what the rest of the world feels about them that they become pathetic … Then, there’s the other extreme, the people who diminish themselves in their own minds. They’re often much greater people than they think they are and, often, much admired by others. Still, they kill themselves inside. Almost by definition, the good are hard on themselves – and the less than good believe they’re the best.”
