Author bio: Michael Schutz-Ryan was born and raised in the frozen tundra of Wisconsin. A lifelong diet of Ray Bradbury and Stephen King whet his appetite for the macabre. A lover of all things horror, he plumbs the depths of Netflix in search of scary movies, and then podcasts and blogs about them on Darkness […]

So, I promised those of you who follow me via email exclusive content…and I aim to please in that regard. I experienced one hiccup that may seem minor, but teaches me that the things you believe are simple are more often than not, far from that reality. For some reason, WordPress does not do a […]

I have been busying myself reading the works of other authors, doing editorial work and interviews on top of my journalism work, but the time has come for me to focus a lot more on the upcoming release of my first fictional novel, “PrinceFall”.

Catherine Dehdashti – Author of “Roseheart” I have been a member of a Goodreads group for awhile now that is for ‘Indie’, or independent authors. It was my pleasure to meet Catherine Dehdashti there and connect with her on social media as well. Catherine has nearly two decades of experience as an essayist, food writer […]

If you follow me on Twitter @3Rivers_Writer, you may have noticed in the past few days I have started a Twitter campaign called #RileyWestbrookPancakes. Yes, a hashtag people! For those of you who are not twits (or just Twitter users), the use of a pound sign may still be outside of your life experience. It […]

If you’re new to the world of writing as an author, you may have never heard the term ‘ARC’ before. I admit, until about a year ago, I had no clue that the acronym had anything to do with authors. I would have guessed it had something to do with welding, but really, even that […]
