Poetry Friday: Song by Sara Teasdale

Let it be forgotten, as a flower is forgotten, Forgotten as a fire that once was singing gold. Let it be forgotten forever and ever- Time is a kind friend, he will make us old. If anyone asks, say it was forgotten Long and long ago- As a flower, as a fire, as a hushed footfall In a long forgotten snow. - Song by Sara Teasdale View all posts tagged as Poetry Friday at ...

Interview: Thomas Randall

If you think I'm busy, you should see Christopher Golden's schedule. As I type this, he is probably in the middle of writing one book, revising another, and plotting a third, each of which are diametrically different from the others. He has authored or co-authored over 100 novels, novellas, short stories, comics, graphic novels, and more. Christopher writes every single day, no matter what. I ...

Interview: Jacqui Robbins

Before she became a full-time writer, Jacqui Robbins was a first and second grade teacher, a drama teacher and director, an SAT tutor, and a bookseller, among other things. Is it any wonder that we get along so well? I met Jacqui earlier this year, when she hired me to design her website. We had fun painting her virtual walls with stars and stripes. I was glad that she was willing to take part ...

Interview: Courtney Sheinmel

Your second novel, Positively, is about a young girl who is HIV-positive, having acquired it from her mother during the pregnancy. The story was inspired, in part, by your involvement with The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation , which we talked about in our previous interview .
