Third generation screenwriter Joss Whedon has a cult following for many, if not all his works (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse...the list goes on).
A master storyteller at his prime, he gave a commencement speech to the graduates of his alma mater Wesleyan last week. He finished by talking about how the students will change the future - how we all change the future.

It's with great pleasure I introduce one of my friends and critique partners, author C.A. Szarek. She's on a blog tour promoting the release of her amazing fantasy "Sword's Call."
One lucky person who comments will choose their prize: either a SWAG prize pack or an eBook of Sword's Call.

All of us here at Writers In The Storm are happy to welcome Cynthia D’Alba, a genuinely nice person and a debut author of Texas Two Step, a new Samhain release.

Cynthia thinks they are and thanks to her blog today, I now know not only the benefits, but the pitfalls to avoid.
