Welcome Susan Helene Gottfried
So while the cat’s away — that’d be Alice — this mousie gets to play here, huh? Cool. I can do that. I’ll even do it with style. If you weren’t here last September 9, you may not know me. Maybe you recognize my name from the comments trail here at Alice’s Restaurant. But what do you really know about me? We’ll start with the easy stuff. My name’s Susan Helene Gottfried, which is a long name for a woman […]

Leave a comment here between now and Thursday night. Friday I’ll have her pick the winner and I’ll make the announcement here and in my sidebar (at the top of the one on the right) If you can’t wait that long, click on […]
Welcome Skhye Moncrief
Good morning, Alice. Thank you for having me over as a guest. My latest Time Guardian story is about to be released–June 25th. I’m extremely wired with this event. The reason I wrote this novel is one of those choices authors make… Hence, my focus on craft here today. So why did I write that story? SWORDSONG was the Time-Guardian novel I wrote after reading the earlier works of Karen M. Moning before my Time Guardians series was contracted for […]
Welcome Kimberly Alan
Much like me, Kimberly Alan had been writing for a long time. In her case, twenty years elapsed between her first attempts and her first publication, TRUTHS UNVEILED, which was published by White Rose Publishing. Much like me, she is also struggling her way through a follow up book. Please welcome Kimberly Alan. Kim is giving away a copy of Truths Unveiled. To be eligible, simply leave a comment here between now and Thursday at midnight my time (Mountain Daylight […]
Welcome, Karen Nutt
Behind the Scenes of a Goddess’ Tale. For my story, Heart of the Warrior, I wanted a goddess who was both strong and passionate. Scáthach was the perfect choice. She was once mortal and was touched by the Tuantha de Dannan, giving her the status of goddess. She searches the battlefields for the souls of the slain and guides them to Tir Nan Og, the land of eternal youth and beauty. The warrior goddess also ran a school for young […]

Dr. Josh Davenport missed his flight for a little R & R after an avalanche blocks the road, when he meets Lacy at the Hotel bar. Lacy easily manipulates Josh into offering her a […]

Welcome, Ann Pino
As those of you who have stopped to read my Welcome page know, I’m adding a new feature here in Alice’s Restaurant. Actually, it’s a feature I’ve had in place for a long time, but haven’t made much effort to exorcise before. Namely, I’m going to be featuring other writers on Mondays. To start, let me introduce you to Ann Pino, who writes and posts some wonderful Science Fiction. For the last few weeks I’ve been enjoying Steal Tomorrow, which […]
Susan Helene Gottfried
It is my pleasure to introduce those of you who haven’t already followed her back to her blog from here to Susan Helene Gottfried. I first met Susan on the T13 circuit, but it was her Roadie Poet, and her ShapeShifter posts have keep me going back. Thank you for being my guest, Susan. So I’m finally grabbing a booth at Alice’s Restaurant. It took me and Alice an awfully long time to coordinate my being here, so not only […]
Why Fairies?
Today’s feature is a guest blog with friend and American Title Award winner Helen Scott Taylor. Welcome Helen! Before I wrote my recent release The Magic Knot, I spent a while deciding on the paranormal/fantasy world in which to set the story. I thought of the usual vampires and shape shifters, but so many authors have written marvelous books about these paranormal beings, I wanted to try something different. During my research, I discovered the fairy world provides scope for […]
Interview with Anastasia St. James

American Title: My Journey by Helen Scott Taylor
Remember a while back when I mentioned that a friend of mine is in the American Title contest? Here she is. Allow me to introduce Helen Scott Taylor. Here I am in the fifth and final round of American Title IV with the chance to win a publishing contract for my story The Magic Knot, and I have to admit, I nearly didn’t enter.As the contest is called ‘American Title’, I thought I wouldn’t be eligible because I live in […]
A Reader's Pet Peeves
My mother has complained about the same factual mistakes in her Romance novel reading so many times that the last time she started to rant, I asked her to blog it for me. She did. Here it is: PET PEEVES IN NOVELS by Alice’s mother When I come across incorrect information in novels I’m reading, I want to throw the book against the wall. These frequently come down authors ignoring to the well known edit that authors should write about […]
By George! Life in the Country
It seems Prince George is always hurting for money. Too bad his mad starts only make things worse. When his father insists he marry a nice German girl before he’d pick up the tab, Priney doesn’t respond well. Said the Prince; he would show “firm determination not to appear again in public till he could do so with the dignity and splendor to which his rank in life entitled him.” Dad was not impressed. To give action to his words, […]
