Excuse the shameless pimping, but I was thinking this guest post by M. D. Lachlan, author of Wolfsangel and now Fenrir, on publishing in the modern, social media-ified era, by way of Steph Swainston’s abrupt exit from the genre a few weeks ago, might be a fine fit for tomorrow’s tidbits.
Thanks, Niall. Remember, it never hurts to send me an email with tidbit suggestions. 🙂
Sweet! Thanks for the mention! It was a true joy interviewing Lauren and I’d do it again in a second! Thanks again for the mention!
