Who is Melinda Snodgrass anyway?

After eight years as a novelist which included the publication of her CIRCUIT trilogy, and co-creating, editing, and writing for the Wild Card series, Melinda began her career as a story editor on STAR TREK:TNG, and wrote the Writer's Guild Award nominated script THE MEASURE OF A MAN. She worked for REASONABLE DOUBTS, and PROFILER, wrote six pilots, and had one produced and aired, STAR COMMAND. She is currently working on the third book in the EDGE series, has delivered the first book in a new urban fantasy series, and is starting on the second.  She has two screenplays currently under consideration in Hollywood.

“If H.P. Lovecraft and H. L. Mencken had ever collaborated, they might have come up with something like The Edge of Reason . This one will delight thinkers--and outrage true believers--of all stripes.” --George R. R. Martin

Daily Quote

“

"In religion and politics people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing."-Mark Twain

So, for all you aspiring writers, and all the mid-list writers like myself here is a cautionary tale.  George R.R. had this up on his Not a Blog, and it was just too good not to share.

I can do one better than Mr. Hall.  My very first autographing was at an Archon.  I didn't even have a book out.  I had a cover flat of my Star Trek novel THE TEARS OF THE SINGERS.  The committee insisted I needed to sign because people would want me to sign their program books.

I was seated next to Stephen King.

Heartbreak

The slow motion tragedy in the Gulf is just breaking my heart.  Seeing the pictures of the oil caked birds, the dead turtles and fish.  When I don't want to cry I want to hit somebody.  Half a million for a remote shut off.  Somebody in B.P.'s risk assessment division needs to be fired.

I'm very much afraid this is a wound that will not heal in my lifetime.
