The first time I submitted a story for publication I heard back in maybe a week. It was a short story about an angel and it was submitted for an anthology from Dreamspinner. They wanted it and that easily I was a publisher author. I remember getting the check for $35 which was the very […]

There’s a first time for everything…. And 2018 will see the publication of my first ever murder mystery. How this came about is a strange tale. There I was, on a train going from Birmingham (UK) to Southampton, after a convention. The entire First Class carriage contained me and two ladies, and we got

The Accidental One-click Hi everyone! I’m Tara Lain and I’m so happy to be here to celebrate the launch of Andy’s new site – a first time for him. And of course, he’s asked us to share first times too. The thing that immediately came to mind when I heard this request was to share

A few months ago, my friend Andy, in an infrequent email, asked with, typical charming ambiguity, if I’d be willing to write a blog post about my first time. My first time, what? Kissing a boy?

When I got pinged about coughing up a post for the launch of this blog, I was told the prompt was “First Time” which after I sat and stared at it got me to wonder what would I do with that? Because there are so so many first times. Like…my first taste of pot roast

Thank you, Andy, for letting me stop by to talk about my first time! The timing is perfect because we’re closing in on the 8th anniversary of when I wrote my first novel. I’ve been writing since… well, since forever. When I was two or three I’d make long rows of squiggles—picture lots of connected
