HELP!

Okay, folks, I need your help. I’m looking for genre stereotypes. You know the ones. Everyone who reads science fiction is a geek. Everyone who reads romance is a bored, undersexed housewife. Only intellectuals read literary fiction. Yeah, those.
So do you know any literary stereotypes? Wanna share? Either email me at cate@catherinewade.com or leave them [...]

A Heads Up on Head Hopping

Head hopping. If you say those words in a group of writers – particularly if they all write in different genres – be prepared for a bumpy ride. Everyone has an opinion, and no two are alike.

Another Time Around Blurb!

New blurb for Another Time Around is in and on the website. Hope to follow up very soon with a cover. (I’ve seen the unofficial mock-up, and it’s FABULOUS!)
Brin Maxwell once lived the ultimate rock-n-roll fantasy as the wife of the frontman for Hell’s Fury. It all ended in a flash—literally—with a lightning bolt that [...]

I Should Write Science Fiction

First off, thanks to everyone for the kind words of support. As I write this, the hubs is across the room watching a cartoon with the kids and is feeling actually okay, so the good thoughts must be helping. Keep ‘em coming.
Also, just found out my in-real-life buddy Jessica pops in to read this blog [...]
