Check out my book review of Murder in Manolos on the Consortium’s website. Murder in Manolos is written by Linsey Mastin and published by Tate Publishing, where I work. I didn’t work on Linsey’s book but I know a lot of great people who helped her polish her novel to what it is today. So […]

An Editor’s Life, or, Six Things I Did at Work Yesterday
Yesterday at work I felt very productive and realized that I got to do a little bit of just about everything that my job entails. I thought it might interest you, gentle readers, to see what it is like to be an editor. Now, this isn’t typical of most people of my position. Most editors […]
