One thing I've learned from younger beta readers is that they don't know what an airship is. Must beef up the description of the airship in the story, The Birkenhead.

Because books.
If anyone wants to play, and you've read Cold Kiss, can you give me three words to describe Wren, and then Gabriel?
It's for an interview question, and I'm having a hard time getting down to three.

Hey, all. I'm writing a blog post on editors and copyeditors. It's riveting stuff!
Any pubbed authors or editors got a quote about what makes an editor great and worthwhile, and will let me use full name on blog? (This will mean free publicity for you.)
I'ma try to send the post out tomorrow, so you can e-me if you have something. No guarantees I can make it work -- sad, editing my own stuff -- but I would like some Real Authors to weigh in. Or editors, duh.
Writing after I just ate All The Meatballs is hard, yo.

Doing it now, Erin. As both, I have thoughts about this!
