To Whom It May Concern, I’m not delusional, I know most romantic comedies are crap. The teen ones are filled with angsty kids that speak about life as if they’ve lived it six times over. And the adult ones are filled with people who haven’t learned how to communicate properly, despite existing on this planet […]
Hello and welcome to the new year, Extraordinary Authoress Leaguers and beloved civilian readers! I, Lady Morse Code, thought we might kickoff 2017 with something, or well someone, out of our normal box. Most of the members of the League of Extraordinary Authoresses are fiction writers but there have been a few nonfiction gals to […]
Hello once again, faithful and loyal extraordinary authoresses and league supporters! Today I, your fearless leader Lady Morse Code, am a little weary about our interview guest, as I’m not 100% sure which side of the fence she plays on–hero or villain. She’s bit gruff and grumbly, but all in all I think she has […]

I’ve grown ill reading the backs of novels and the thousand and one stories about couples (mostly straight white couples) and their marital problems. I’m sure these stories are brilliantly told, and well deserving of literary praise for depicting the human spirit. But wouldn’t it […]
Book Name: A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court Author: Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) First Published: 1889 Samuel Langhorne Clemens was born in Missouri, two weeks after Halley’s Comet appeared in 1835. After his father died of pneumonia, young Clemens was apprenticed at the age of 12 as a typesetter for his brother’s newspaper, the […]
Some days, your favorite female character isn’t a character at all. Some days, she isn’t fictional, but a real person, performing real good in the world and imbuing our lives with the magic of the everyday. I saw Sarah Kay perform in New York City this past weekend. She is a professional slam poet, educator […]
Let’s have a talk about the tried and tested tenet of grimdark. I’ve done it, you’ve done it, and nearly anyone who has entertained fandom and original character writing has done it. Grimdark writing within a fandom context envisions a scenario (or several) in which everything is terrible and the light at the end of […]
