A Salute to Editors, Part 1

This week, I present part one of an interview I did with Kat Thompson, former senior editor at Echelon Press. Although since she first sent me the email leting me know Echelon had accepted two of my novels for publication, and since she graciously agreed to an interview, she has stepped back from major editing duties. However, as a guide and advisor, she possesses skills and talents from which all writers may benefit.



1. Who is Kat Thompson? Tell me a little about yourself. What one… Continue

People are getting sillier

Every now and then I hear something that lends credence to my long held theory that people get sillier every day.  Today I heard that a childcare centre in Queensland is banning the nursery rhyme 'Baa Baa Black Sheep', or else singing 'Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep'.  Dunno about anyone reading this, but I have never seen a rainbow coloured sheep.    The closest I've seen to such a beast would be in a trip to Inida many years ago and there was a donkey painted with coloured polka dots.  Black is a…

I hear this question a lot these days: “How did you get started making book trailers?” I answer, “It all started with Scooby Doo!”



Seriously. I was a fledgling screenwriter when William “Bill” Hanna of the famed Hanna/Barbera took me under his wing and taught me how it’s done. I remember so clearly walking with him along the colorful hallways of that…

My name

I am often asked if Blood is my real name.  Yes, I was born Wendy Blood.  Great name for a writer right?  When I first submitted my manuscript, I was told I should not use a pen name, (they thought I made it up).  I informed them that Blood is my birth name and not something I made up.  Growing up, I hated the name Blood and now I love it!
