Time to Get Back in the Game

24 hours left of the Hive's Spring Writers Retreat in Reedsburg Wisconsin, and I choose to work on my website. Except it has been so long I both don't remember what I am doing and WordPress has changed just a bit...or maybe it's my memory? The last few years have seen Covid strike my family … Continue reading Time to Get Back in the Game →

Meanwhile During the Pandemic…

So what has been happening that has kept Sue away from her author site for so long and just where is that book she promised? Ha!

Victorian Words in Steampunk

My dive down the rabbit hole. I am working hard on the edits for our steampunk short story and novels. My co-author, Nancy Bach, is a whiz at translating what I write into a Victorian-ish speech and pattern when I get things wrong (usually). I find it hard to do myself, but in other books … Continue reading Victorian Words in Steampunk →

Website Whines #1

I almost wish I was back in the days when I indulged in the fantasy of becoming an author. The fantasy was that I would write something and people would flock to my book en masse, instantly rocketing me to Bestseller status. Snort. What a fantasy that is. I am years past that now, and … Continue reading Website Whines #1 →

We Begin With Steampunk…

Choosing to use my own name for the SF and Fantasy work means that sometimes I'll be writing blogs as Susan Kovacs Author Page and sometimes here as Susan Wachowski, but know that's me, open and honest as usual, on both sides. But the websites, blogs, podcasts and infomercials for writers, well they all tell … Continue reading We Begin With Steampunk… →
