Featured Website: DWorkz

DWorkz: a beautiful site that specializes in "digital studio pioneering" with creative ideas and always upcoming technology. The flash for the site, the color scheme and fonts are amazing. Truly an epitome of creative and design talent and skill. I could only dream to eventually be as good as they are. Their offices are in San Francisco and New York.

cl wilson

2007 debuting author of the two-part book of the Fading Lands (Tairen Soul: Lord of the Fading Lands and Tairen Soul: Lady and Light of Shadows), CL Wilson has come into the spotlight of the romance world.

Sarah: This book, it is LONG - and therefore, as you’ve said on your site, split into two. Are there outtakes? How much was cut? Will you share?
C.L. Wilson: Wayyyy long. I wrote it as an unpublished writer. And with no deadline, I could have fun wandering, so I did. I’m not a fast writer, so I cannot bear to throw away even cut scenes that I may have spent hours on. I keep all deleted scenes in the hope that someday I may find a use for them. I also cut the original book in two earlier on, and some 300 of those pages are being adapted for inclusion in books 3 and 4.
