YA versus Adult: the Difference?

What is the difference between a YA novel and an adult novel? That was the question posed at A Book a Week a couple of days ago, and now I’m really intrigued. [...]

Can you write a peaceful novel with no conflict at all?

Is it possible to write an entire novel containing only peace, and no conflict? I myself do not think so. [...]

Browsing and Books

HAPPY DIWALI TO MY INDIAN FRIENDS!

You may have noticed that I haven’t been able to do my Sunday morning browse through my blogroll in recent months. Life has just been too packed with STUFF, unfortunately. I may see if I can do a couple peeks at a time every day or two, rather [...]

I could never be the sausage maker

It felt like pieces of my soul that had been missing for 4 years were suddenly flying back into me. I was Myself for the first time in 4 years and 6 months. [...]

The Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit

Which of course is ridiculous, when talking about events that never really happened in the first place.

And even thinking of the literature about [...]

Zaphod Beeblebrox may be homeless

Oh noes! Zaphod Beelbebrox’s home star may already have exploded!

Remember, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy fans, that Beeblebrox as well as Ford Prefect supposedly come from a planet circling the giant red star, Betelgeuse, in the constellation of Orion.

It turns out, according to an article in The Register, that Betelgeuse appears to have [...]
