The Gauntlet is not a glove...

Wow! This blog has been inactive for a whole year. Time roars by whether you're having fun or not.
I have been deeply involved with finishing my third novel, Knights of Sparrow. It is now in the final preparation for ePub at Lulu.com. Self-Publishing is not easy, but it's affordable.

Now my group at WYRM is getting ready for the GAUNTLET an underground, independently run writing competition. We welcome professional writers, published authors, undiscovered talent & anyone with a love for speculative fiction.
Why do we do what we do? Well, we guess it’s because there’s nothing like running a Gauntlet. Come be a part of a movement! Because it really is being a part of something. It’s fun, it’s fearless, and it’s cool. Because it’s better than sitting at home and watching The Voice.

This will be my third year to be a judge for the competition. I'm hoping to see a lot of new writers sweating their way through the diabolical challenges.

Our Gauntlet works in four rounds of action, and is a mixture of critique and fiction-writing to challenge our esteemed Gauntleteers. The rounds are all different, and designed to bring out your best–your best review, your best short story, or something you didn’t see coming.

I'll be back more often writing about the struggles of creating a novel.

My best to everyone!
