Tim Press release First Samuel Hits The Market

By DraculVanHelsing @ Saturday, May. 03, 2008 - 11:27:26 am Ever wonder where the great classical storytellers have gone? The 19th Century used to be full of them- Jane Austen, The Bronte Sisters, Charles Dickens. People who told a real story with real-life characters- even the minor characters were real. Now in what they call the postmodern world of postmodern literature, there seem to be very few writers left who are also real storytellers. Instead we get stock characters with stereoty… Continue

Hi, I just received a wonderful review from Writers and Readers of Distinctive fiction, for my new western historical romance novel. Lynda Warnock at WRDF said, "Between the Lines is more than just a romance; laced throughout with more than enough suspense to keep your interest until the end. I didn't want to put this tale down until I had finished, and I enjoyed every word. This may have been the first book I have read by Ms. Otten but I can tell you it won't be my last."

POLISH YOUR PROSE! ~ Good enough just won't do. You're competing for publishing slots with NY Times BestSellers. Tighten your story till it pings.

I have always believed that it is the writers that are the ones who hold sway over history for it is from the writer’s perspective that we gain insight into the daily lives of those who lived a hundred or even a thousand years ago. For who remembers the mayor of a small town who lived a hundred years ago or who remembers Euripides or Hercules?

Stephanie Patterson Frustration...

... about my writing course! A year ago, I began to study a module 'Novel Writing for Beginners' online, which I found very useful at the time, as it pointed out some vital issues (layout, pov, etc). I successfully completed it, quite proud of myself, and started the follow-up module in November. While at first I found that module useful, I now begin to despair. It appears our tutor (with a Creative Writing PHD but only published a short story, no novel) is such a stickler to writing rules tha… Continue

Anne Whitfield Historical Names

From my research. In Gaelic names, the prefix 'Mc or Mac' means son of, as does the Norman 'Fitz', the Welsh 'ap', 'Bin' in Arabic, 'sen' in Scandinavian names, 'di' in Italian surnames and 'sky and ski' in Slavic countries. In Irish surnames the O is a word all by itself, signifying 'grandson' when attached to a grandfather's name or trade. Then there's location surnames, like Hill or Wood and occupational surnames like Baker, Smith, etc. I am always fascinated by names. When researching my… Continue

Tim On this day in literary history Wilhelm Grimm born 1786 in Frankfurt

The fairy tales of Wilhelm and Jacob (The Brothers) Grimm were an essential part of the birth of children's literature. The tales were often surrealist nightmares, superficially childlike and innocent, with allegorical depictions of human cruelty that were often overlooked at the time. Another writer who is part of the foundation of this culture is the Danish storyteller Hans Christian Andersen, whose tales are not as dark as the Grimms' but share the metaphorical quality. The twentieth century… Continue
