I am relaunching my shiny new, updated website! There is a contact form on the aptly named contact page and I would love to hear some feedback on the site, the books, etc.
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!

That is the site of my other blog...I have begun work on the seventh Persephone Alcmedi novel. Yet untitled, I have posted the first chapter. (Okay, it's a little short for a chapter so we'll call it a prologue.) I will post another chapter each week, if all goes well, until Yule.
Now that you have clicked on the above links, checked out the website, read my other post, enjoyed it, and have returned here (yes that is the story I'm telling myself), I'll get on to weekly topic.
VILLAINS as PROTAGONISTS
I've been very busy working on my website and writing, writing, and then writing. That being the case, I'm going to cheat this week and give you a few links to some other folks' posts on villains. My fellow word-whores have offered much to think about already, but these links, while not necessarily about the villain protagonist, provide advice that will surely aid in the formation of such a character.
