I'm saddened to learn that John Varley has died. He wrote many top-notch SF stories in the late 70s. He was a major influence on my writing. I read his book "Titan," and immediately started writing seriously for publication. I don't know why. #amwriting #booksky #writersLife #writingCommunity

Random lines from "The Cadaver Princess." He tore a small corner from the dress & put it into his mouth. The taste told him all he needed to know. Trouble. Of the sort he had thought he'd never face again. is.gd/BOOQ1L #booksky #novel #amwriting #writingCommunity #writersLife #amwritingfantasy

Comment: "I finished your book. Loved it. The pacing, characterization and humor were perfect. It would be easy for something like that to become a tonal mess, but you nailed it. There wasn’t a single scene that felt wasted." chuckrothman.com/the-cadaver-princess #writingcommunity #booksky #novel

Comment on my novel: "I’m reading The Cadaver Princess and enjoying it very much. It’s a historical fantasy where 12-year-old Princess Victoria unexpectedly shows up in a surgeon’s anatomy lab. I’ve always been fascinated by this era of history, perhaps because of the stark class divide." #booksky
