Of all the amazing things the Internet has done, one of the most amazing is the way it connects readers and writers. Even I, who am hardly a critical success as an author (yet), get to post about my writing and my books, and I hear from readers and get tremendous satisfaction out of that.

Surfing author-related sites can be a great way to motivate yourself as well. I had a few minutes to surf today (like five — I could spend hours, but then I wouldn’t get any work done), and I thought I’d share my findings.

Debbie Ridpath Ohi of Inkygirl.com and other great sites posts interview scraps from children’s author Lois Lowry, including this quote: “‘Being an author’ is sort of a public thing. Being a writer is what I love.”

Jeffrey Overstreet posts only the tip of the cover for Cal-Raven’s Ladder, causing me to feel very impatient. I read Auralia’s Colors and Cyndere’s Midnight during my second CSFF blog tour (here’s one of my Cyndere posts) and am thoroughly hooked on the series, both for the story and for the sheer beauty of the writing. The covers are pretty good, too . The rest of the cover is coming later today!
