One Mountain at a Time (Guest Blog: Thomas Wilson)

Posted on January 21, 2012. Filed under: Blatherings, eBooks, Guest Bloggers, Just for Fun, Writing |

I was asked if I would write a post explaining about overcoming obstacles and finding my “Happy Place.” Let me preface this post with the fact that I’m one of those people who can pick up a book and teach myself almost anything I want to learn. Two major failures in this category have been [...]

Posted on October 4, 2011. Filed under: Creativity, Guest Bloggers, Writing | Tags: , , , , , , , , , |

When I was little I wanted to be a brain surgeon, or a gardener. Only when I turned fifteen did I start thinking about being a writer. The author, Christopher Pike, inspired me. I remember reading his Last Vampire series and falling in love with the character he created. It was the first time I’d [...]

Posted on August 19, 2011. Filed under: Guest Bloggers, Just for Fun, Writing |

I live in Santa Cruz, a small county with arguably the greatest per-capita number of independent bookstores in California. We take our indies seriously here, so seriously we have no chain bookstores in the county. The brightest jewel of all our indies is Bookshop Santa Cruz.

Following the Dream (Bookstore Spotlight by Ellis Vidler)
