Confessions and concerns of a thoughtful dyke. Friday, January 24, 2014. I was chatting with Andi Marguette ( http:/ andimarquette.com/. Over the holiday season, and she invited me to write a guest blog for Women and Words. I thought it was a great idea, and a great opportunity to promote my work.

Confessions and concerns of a thoughtful dyke. Thursday, September 13, 2012. Own up, baby. Own up. I hate to sound like a broken record. But every day, literally every day. New developments come to my attention, and I feel the need to comment on these developments. I am referring, of course, to being a newly published author. A newly published author in the age of the Internet. I may be new to being a published author, but I have seen in the past how people (let's call them reviewers. When posting their ...

Confessions and concerns of a thoughtful dyke. Thursday, January 30, 2014. I was married September 7, 2013. I, who have always wanted to be married, but never really thought I would be. I am married to someone I always knew I should be married to, but not someone I always knew, or thought I ever would know. A poem that was as much a surprise as the woman I married. And perfect. As she is perfect. Perfection is never expected, and thus, is always a surprise. Here is the poem Jill Malone chose for us.).

Confessions and concerns of a thoughtful dyke. Wednesday, February 6, 2013. The Next Big Thing. The very talented Jill Malone (see link below) tagged me to be a part of The Next Big Thing, where writers talk up their work in progress. That makes me #33. It sounds like a great idea, so here goes:. What is the working title of your book? The title of my current work is Falling. Where did the idea come from for your book? What genre does your book fall under? This is an interesting question, because my stor...

Rebecca's Blog: April 2012
http://rebeccaswartz.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Confessions and concerns of a thoughtful dyke. Tuesday, April 10, 2012. I stumbled across a couple of fine books over the last 72 hours. By a writer I'd never heard of. And really, isn't that how it should be? The author is Susan Wilson. The books, One Good Dog, which I read first. The second, The Dog Who Danced. No surprise there are dogs involved. I love dog stories. I've been reading them since I could. Read, and I've forgotten almost all of the authors of those childhood read stories. Personal experi...

Confessions and concerns of a thoughtful dyke. Thursday, August 30, 2012. Opinions are a dime a dozen. Are you familiar with Goodreads? If you're on Facebook, and you read (maybe a lot), it's possible you know of Goodreads, or even use it yourself. Most of the books I've read have received either a 3 or 4 star rating. Some very few have received 5 stars, and a few have received 2 stars. Even fewer have received 1 star. Meaning I (just to clarify) "didn't like it.". So what did I do? Friendship," not vice...

Confessions and concerns of a thoughtful dyke. Monday, December 10, 2012. I was recently a part of an author's panel discussion that took place in Asheville, North Carolina, at a lovely independent bookstore called Malaprop's Bookstore and Cafe. Which is actually the point of this post. It wasn't actually a question. If you haven't read my novel, what will follow may be considered a spoiler. I don't consider it such, but you may, and so, you are thus advised. Just because Emma Kirby is a cop, it should n...

Confessions and concerns of a thoughtful dyke. Monday, April 22, 2013. My little brother no more. I called my baby brother tonight. Considering I just turned 50, and he's now 44, he's not really my baby brother anymore. But, of course, he is. Even though his life experiences, I am sure, far surpass my own. After all, he has married, raised children, bought a house or two, become a business owner. I have done none of these things. And that is all I recall of that time. And he's right. It was my choice...

Rebecca's Blog: A Dear John by any other name
http://rebeccaswartz.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-dear-john-by-any-other-name.html
Confessions and concerns of a thoughtful dyke. Friday, April 5, 2013. A Dear John by any other name. I'm sorry, but I'm leaving you. For too many years you have been cold to me, colder than any other (okay, there was Churchill, but that was short-lived), and I just can't handle it anymore. And even when you were warm, your warmth was fickle, changeable, not to be trusted. I often found myself holding my breath, hoping, This time, let it be this. I have so many good memories of us: Summers! Mostly awesome...
