If you’re a regular reader of my Recommended Reading List, you know that I love romance novels. It took me years to screw up my courage to write a romance novel, and then I stumbled into the genre somewhat accidentally. I wrote goofy paranormal romances as Kristine Grayson. I’ve also written a couple of romances that aren’t goofy or paranormal as Kristine Kathryn Rusch. While […]
Just in Time for Valentine’s Day, Cats And Romance And Snow!
A few months ago, one of my favorite people and one of my favorite editors, Denise Little, contacted me to let me know she’s editing a brand new romance magazine. She wondered if I, or more specifically, Kristine Grayson, could contribute a story. Now, sadly, Grayson’s stories require me to be in a goofy mood, and last fall I was anything but goofy. (I’m […]
Business Musings: The First (?) 2017 Process Blog
I was staring down the barrel of 2017, trying to figure out my writing projects. And I realized on Tuesday that the reason I couldn’t just dive in on Monday was because I hadn’t…oh, crap…defined myself.
I had defined myself in general. That’s easy. I’m a writer first, and to me, that means all the writerly things I do and have done from the old Star Wars book to new fiction I’m writing (from the romance short to the Diving universe to the historical mystery I just finished for the next Lawrence Block antho) to this blog and all the nonfiction.
But I somehow did not handle the specifics of being a writer very well in 2016.
Recommended Reading: February 2011

Did lots of reading there, but you won’t see those stories until they hit print. Very good stories they were too. What amazes me is how much I read and discarded […]
Two New Stories in the Same Anthology
Yeah, I got a little wacky. Here’s the story behind the stories. Dean and I put on a workshop with Denise Little of Tekno Books. Denise gives the writers who attend a short story assignment for an active anthology. The Trouble With Heroes was the assignment anthology. Denise didn’t pick all of the stories submitted from the workshop for the antho, but honestly, about 95% […]
