What, Why, How: Susanne von Schroeder

June 16, 2015 By Linda K Sienkiewicz

What? Nature Photographer, gardener, outdoors person, animal lover (especially cats). Truth seeker: Who am I? Why am I here? What's the purpose of life?

What, Why, How: John Jeffire

June 12, 2015 By Linda K Sienkiewicz

  WHAT? Christ, I was hoping you’d tell me! I do a lot, but “what” exactly I am I’m not totally sure.

Music Playlist for In the Context of Love

June 3, 2015 By Linda K Sienkiewicz

Do you listen to music when you're writing? Is there music in your novels? If so, make a playlist! Music plays a role in In the Context of Love, and it helps establish the time period. The novel begins in the nineties, then travels back to the mid-seventies before catching back up to the nineties again, and pop culture references help set the tone. Just for fun, I made a playlist of the songs … [Read more...]
