Listen to this post as a podcast episode. Accessibility by Iris Carden One of my pet peeves at the moment is accessibility, or rather the lack thereof.

Listen to this as a podcast here. The Magic of Writing by Iris Carden A lot of my stories involve magic. The real magic, however, is not the story, but that the story can be told.

The Old-Fashioned Way
The Old-Fashioned Way by Iris Carden I saw a post on Twitter the other day. Someone was boasting they wrote, illustrated and published a book all in one weekend. How did they achieve that?
