Second Skin has arrived!

Second Skin is now available online via Amazon and will be hitting Chapters stores across Canada very, very soon. I’m rallying the troops and hope to set off on a blog tour filled with excerpts, reviews, SWAG and signed copy giveaways. The schedule will be posted shortly. If you’re a blogger and would like to [...]

Storyboarding

Posted on 02. Jan, 2012 by judithgraves in Author Visits

For all you writing-craft junkies out there, I thought I’d do another post about storyboarding. My own definition has changed over the last year. Check out my original take here. Previously, I considered story boards as mere visual representations of the tale I was trying to tell. So, some photos, illos, graphics, mixed with my [...]

Writerly Resolutions

Posted on 31. Dec, 2011 by judithgraves in Author Visits

I have high hopes for 2012. There is much writing to be done and I want to get back into shape. Those two tasks, for me, are not simpatico. In the past I’ve either been an exercising fool, buff in my skinny jeans and biking to work, yaddayaddayadda – or I’ve been writing up a [...]

Screenwriting Resources For Your Wishlist

Posted on 21. Dec, 2011 by judithgraves in Author Visits

This post was originally written as a guest spot on Liz Strange’s blog, but I wanted to share it here as well. During my glasses and braces youth, I took piano lessons for five years and at the same time taught myself to play guitar. Eventually I picked up the violin, and then the bass [...]

Have Yourself A Scary Little Christmas!

We are enjoying unseasonably warm days this year, and haven’t had too much of the white stuff decend upon our driveways. That’s fine by me, I hate shovelling. Though I do hope it snows for Christmas Day and Christmas Day only. It sets the mood. And the mood I foster around this time of year [...]

Character Names, Delays, Cover Reveals and more

Posted on 01. Dec, 2011 by judithgraves in Author Visits

As a part of Pure Spec’s fundraising efforts for a local charity via the GEEKS FOR GEEKS auction, several authors raffled off naming a character after one lucky winner. That’s right, a character in SKIN OF MY TEETH will now be named after a certain Edmontonian. You’ll have to wait for the SOMT release to [...]

Posted on 21. Nov, 2011 by judithgraves in Author Visits

  I enjoyed some inner geek soul food this weekend at Edmonton’s Pure Speculation Festival –  a celebration of all things sci-fi / fantasy. I was thrilled to join author / playright, Marty Chan, author / graphic novelist, Gail Siddonie Sobat, as well as science fiction author, Nicole Luiken on the young adult fiction panel. Gail [...]

Pure Speculation Festival 2011

Posted on 04. Nov, 2011 by judithgraves in Author Visits

If there’s one thing I love…it’s a great con. It’s no lie. Of course, I’m not referring to shysterly dealings…I mean conventions, baby! Great big nerdy comic cons, fantasy cons, gaming cons, book cons, etc. Edmonton is host to a small but growing convention, the Pure Speculation Festival. Here gaming and all things fantasy / [...]
