• Author Interview with Joy E. Rancatore & The Crux Celebration

  It’s been six months since the publication of The Crux Anthology! There’s so much to say about this book, why it was made, who participated, what to expect, and a little about what it’s like to be an author, so Joy E. Rancatore from Logos & Mythos Press took some time out of her day…

• Egging You On: A Reprisal

• A Break-the-Big-Tie Moment: Winner of Horde #BlogBattle

  I said I wouldn’t be doing weekly posts to announce the #BlogBattle winners. Instead I’ll always list them here: https://rachaelritchey.com/bb-interviews/, but today I’m breaking my rule.
