Fantasy writer and author P. C. Wrede discusses her work in this interesting interview. It also includes her thoughts about the differences between writing short stories and novels.

Here is an article that explains how one writer channels music to add creativity to her work.
Hard to believe, I know, but I am currently the Fashion writer for Mythaxis Magazine. It is ‘fashion’ with a difference of course, and somewhat tongue in cheek.

For anyone interested, here is the link to my latest article for the magazine.
