With Twitter self-destructing and discrimination and danger coming with disclosing personal details on other social apps like Facebook, I’m looking at whether I have the time to restart my blog. Also, whether anyone will be interested in following along. Starting with this test balloon! As a start, I’ll try to do a bookContinue reading “BACK FOR A BIT”
HARPERCOLLINS UNION STRIKE – WHAT’S IT ABOUT & HOW YOU CAN HELP

Agent-me can still be found at http://www.knightagency.net, and Author-me will continue on at http://www.luciennediver.com/, but it seems that newContinue reading “Blog Hiatus”

In more recent news, Faith Hunter’sContinue reading “Awards and books, books, books!”
The Trademark Issue
So, there seems to be an exciting new trend in publishing (not) where people are trademarking or attempting to trademark perfectly common words already in widespread usage throughout the industry in titles, series, imprints, etc. A friend on Twitter recently asked for my thoughts, and since I have yet to figure out how to doContinue reading “The Trademark Issue”
