Thrillers mostly although I'm fairly open on this. I like a little fantasy and historical too.
I have a blog; awriteblog.com where I have a link to some short stories of mine.
I am first, and foremost, a poet. When I'm tired, or stressed and need to write, my pen almost automatically goes to poetry, and I find comfort in the wordplay. I also love memoir and fiction, and am trying to stretch myself as I write new and different pieces. My work can be found online at http://www.taunalen.com. The site has links to my journal, my poetry site and an online journal for my local writer's group.
Beside poetry, I love science fiction, fantasy and horror, although I never use these elements in my own work.
For a few years now I have maintained a blog where I periodically add some of my work.

I like a lot of subjects but my main subject is romance. When I started my poetry that started due to a broken reatlsionship I had.
I am very ecclectic in my tastes and I read just about any thing. I love writing fiction most of all but I write whatever necessary to make a living.
Some of my fiction can be found here:

If you Google my name, you can find a lot of hits but the above stories are two favorites.
I love just about anything with solid plots and characters. I write articles and short and stories at Associated Content, along with conducting a couple of my owns interviews there. I also write a column on the career of Steven Spielberg at Examiner.com

I love reading fiction, memoirs, science fiction, and fantasy. My work is not public at the time but my blog is http://www.hollywoodthewriteway.com
I enjoy writing formal poetry about nature, fairies and the sea.

Blogger.com Gordo's World. I write about everything poetry, short stories.
I definitely like speculative fiction the best. This genre is better know as "sci-fi/fantasy", but I think that label really misses the point. What I nerdily call "spec-fic" is simply fiction that isn't bound by our present understanding of reality. Even the universe is a fictitious character! I've posted a little bit of my work on my LP Notes blog (http://lpnotes.blogspot.com), and I hope to post more soon. I also post the occasional children's story on Vokation (http://vokation.com).
My specialty, broadly speaking, is communications: strategic marketing communications, with an emphasis on B2B, business writing/journalism (see http://www.appliedartsmag.com/past_blasts.php?id=8&mediaId=52&clip=2#header), corporate histories, brochures, websites (http://www.peoplelytic.com/), articles, presentations, case studies, survey results, proposals, marketing fact/sell sheets, press releases, ads, advertorials, and so on.
My work spans just about every conceivable industry sector, from IT, financial, professional, business advisory and wireless telecommunications services to arts marketing and high-end fashion retailing.

I don't know if I have a favourite genre. I mean, I can't say I enjoy mysteries or science fiction, but I am definitely attracted to writing that is more in a literary vein. I will read a small press book before anything from a big publisher because I appreciate the grass roots of writing more than the top 40. I like short stories and poetry simply because that's what I write too- I would sooner read to learn something than to be solely entertained by it. I want it to be profound. I want it to haunt me and make me think.
I have a blog where I post some of my short stories. They're not always the final drafts- those are what I send to the publishers, but at least it gives people a sense of what I am doing. This is the addy: http://stealingbreath.blogspot.com/
My favorite genre is science fiction. I appreciate stories about the potential of humankind.
I don't have a lot of my things online. At least, not where I'd like the world to see.
I have written an autobiography of my Naval career, but I really like fiction best. Some excerpts from my book can be read on the web at: www.thankyouamericabook.com. I have only published one book thus far, but I am working on a fiction about the world of intelligence gathering and operations. |
