Hey, Katey. Come here for a second. Yeah, over here in the corner where no one else can listen in. No offense or anything, but you’re not doing nearly enough pimping of your new novel. I know, I know. It feels weird to post and tweet too much about it. You don’t want to come […]

Ask the Professor #1
The Professor enters the air conditioned classroom. He turns immediately to the white board and writes Writing 666: Q&A.
