Guest Post: KT Bryski – Jazzing Up Fairy Tales

08.16.2016 by Starla Huchton // 1 Comment

I am absolutely honored to have a superiorly talented individual on the blog today. I’ve known KT Bryski for a few years now, and she never fails to impress me with her amazing ideas and turns of phrase. She recently contacted me for some artwork, and I really wanted to set the perfect tone for the project she proposed. That project is one I think everyone should give a listen to, first because it’s FREE, and second because KT’s writing is really just that good. No matter the subject, KT enthralls, excites, and paints marvelous imagery for her audience. She’s a true storyteller, and it’s nothing short of joy to experience her tales.

In today’s guest post, KT offers up some thoughts that are quite relevant to my interests and audience. I think you’ll find her words both educational and insightful. Definitely check out her new project, Six Stories, Told at Night!

Sharing the Love for Fellow Indie Authors

Author Blog Hop Banner

 

The indie author community is an amazing place, and I am reminded of this over and over again. The authors I have come to know have been so giving of their time and advice and consistently do whatever they can to boost those around them.

So I’m considering this my chance to give back.

MAVEN Social Media Pre-Launch Party!

05.18.2013 by Starla Huchton // 1 Comment

Wow. So, the cover reveal for Maven was a HUGE success. Like OMG huge. I never expected the level of participation I got with that and the number of eyeballs that ogled my precious astounds me.

I figured since that went so well, why not have even more fun with this book? The squeaky wheels in my brain started turning and here’s what I came up with.

Muppet Flail
Pretty much me every time a reveal post went up. Every. Time.

New Work: Fires in the Snow

09.18.2012 by Starla Huchton // Leave a Comment

A while back (like late spring 2011), I was approached by Alex White to see if I might be interested in writing a short story set in the world of The Gearheart. As an admirer of his work and always one up for a writing challenge, I accepted wholeheartedly, turning in the finished story in August ’11. Last winter, Alex started up a Chip-In fund to assist in paying for his son’s developmental assistance and gave this story and one other as one of the donor rewards.

The first part of that story is now live in podcast form.

On Interviews

09.17.2012 by Starla Huchton // Leave a Comment

An interview I gave Michell Plested for the Get Published podcast went live last night. I always love giving interviews, but I still feel very strange when I’m asked for one. It’s a funny combination of feeling confused, flattered, excited and nervous.

The Little Story That Could

07.27.2012 by Starla Huchton // Leave a Comment

So, hey. Wow. Check this out.

Some time ago I wrote up a small piece for the Tales from the Archives podcast anthology. People seemed to like it quite a bit. This made me very happy as that’s what a writer aims for, right?

Balticon 46 – Dirty Mad Libs

06.02.2012 by Starla Huchton // Leave a Comment

So, Nobilis Reed has been trying to get me to read dirty words for years, and I have mostly avoided that up until now. I have a feeling that, after this panel, I may not be able to get out of it in the future.

This was a late night panel on Sunday night at Balticon 46. Basically, we panelists were asked to prepare a selected scene from a science fiction or fantasy novel, one of the racier kind, that is, and pull out selected words which would be filled in by the audience members. Along with myself, I participated in this panel with Doc Coleman and Patrick Scaffido, with special appearances by Nobilis Reed, Tee Morris and Philippa Ballantine. Tee and Pip were especially entertaining, as you will hear from the audio*.
