Author interview: Kara Jorgensen
Time to try something new. For the next couple weeks I’m going to be sharing indie authors and books worth checking out as part of the 2K International Indie Book Tour.
First up is a steampunk author I’ve been following for a while now: Kara Jorgensen.
Repost: The Cogsmith’s Daughter by Kate M. Colby
Happy Friday, everyone!
I found this today and thought I’d share it. Looks like a great concept by a serious new author, and the behind-the-scenes process notes are cool.
I find projects (and websites) like this incredibly satisfying. I love it when an author has clearly taken the time to think through her content and presentation to deliver high-quality, worthwhile material. And I’m just talking about the website – the book itself looks like it’s going to be killer.
Any other serious new authors doing great work out there? Point me in their direction. I eat this stuff up.
Cheers!

Idries Shah on words for Sufis
This is a bit of a departure from my usual content, but only because my blog is still young. This beautiful and fascinating post hit a major sweet spot for me. I love precision of language and tracing shifts in usage. Persian culture and poetry were a big influence on my Dad’s work with Ottoman Turkish. Best of all, this revitalized my thirst to seek my God in moment-by-moment practice as one drunk with love.
