TWILIGHT OF THE IMMORTAL

[Bill's update, 2011.07.18: Hey, folks, thanks for the surprising amount of support regarding the below! And I got Marilyn some outstanding airtime yesterday. I'll post the links soon. She is such an articulate and engaging interviewee.]

 

I want to do something helpful for an amazing colleague's birthday. And you can help. It's easy!

 

Just read my review of her current novel, and if you are so moved, please vote it as "helpful."

 

My goal is simple: to get the review onto the book's front page at Amazon. Marilyn Jaye Lewis has written a memorable epic -- powerful, emotionally rich, and a joy to read -- and I believe that my review accurately reflects that.

 

And if you are so moved, please buy a copy, recommend it to a friend today, or request it via your local library. I believe it should be in every library system. It's that good.

 

Thank you in advance for your support of Marilyn's work.

 

Wishing you joy,

 

--Bill Brent

airtime

Greetings -- 

This link below is mostly me and Melinda Adams (a/k/a LilyCat), along with two drop-in guests, chatting on her weekly Sunday show. 

There is a podcast for the next week at:

I'm so polite, but I'm sure I managed to make statements offensive to someone somewhere. C'est la vie! 

Wishing you a creative week filled with beauty and wonder, 

--Bill Brent

I had a great Fourth of July weekend. The weather in Portland was sunny and warm. And Darklady took me out to eat decadent donuts.

Better still, I stayed in all day Sunday, editing an excerpt from my novel in progress, which I am performing at Writers With Drinks, July 9. And so it's better than ever!

I hope to see some of y'all this Saturday. Again, you can get the details HERE.

In the meantime, enjoy the rest of your week, wherever you are!

July

Just a reminder that I'll be appearing at Writers With Drinks, July 9, and that you can get the details HERE.

I'll be traveling during the first half of July, sans laptop. So my Internet access will be spotty at best. (Actually, I'm looking forward to the break.)

In the meantime, have a gorgeous July!
