Cassie Edwards’ plagiarism that is? Well I tried an experiment. I decided to spend part of my evening hunting down some CE sample text, look through it, and see if I can Google a lifted passage. I decided this at roughly 7:30. It is now 7:47. The seventeen intervening minutes Read more…
What follows may be as close to a complete statement from Cassie Edwards as we’ve had since the whole plagiarism issue raised its ugly head. It is allegedly an e-mail response to a fan expressing support, and is documentary evidence of why lawyers generally tell you to shut the f**k Read more…
It’s a new year and I’ve revised my project counters. I have ditched the counter for The Unicorns of Hunting Valley because it seems very unlikely I’ll be able to justify getting back to it any time in the near future. (As in, any time in 2008.) I’ve added a Read more…
In a manifestation of what I noted in an earlier post; that if your romantic paranormal fantasy is filed on the romance shelf you get a hunk on the cover, on the fantasy shelf you get a babe on the cover in short: Fantasy: Romance: Now there’s a blog post Read more…
Well, Cassie Edwards’ research methodology has caused quite an internet dust-up. Inevitable, I guess, when a set of controversial bloggers uncover this kind of skeleton in the literary closet of a popular NY-Times bestselling author.

Well it looks like I’m going to fall short of my self-imposed deadline for Prophets. I went and caught the flu. When I get to feeling this kind of blah, I find it hard to read, much less write. So down to around 500 words a day for the time Read more…
John Ottinger has had some nice things to say about Fellowship Fantastic, the latest anthology by Martin H. Greenberg and Kerrie Hughes. He also had some very nice things to say about this humble author’s contribution: The best stories in this anthology were [Donald J. Bingle’s] “The Quest” and “The Read more…
I didn’t write a chapter 12 for Prophets.No, I didn’t leave anything out, I just went straight from 11 to 13.No, I don’t know how it happened.Yes, this is a sort of pointless comment.
But I still managed about 2500 words a day, which is pretty respectable output when I’m not under the whip of my muse. When you subtract the two days where I had an output of approximately nil (one celebrating X-mas with my Mom, the other X-mas with the in-laws), I Read more…
