Updates and stuff

October 22, 2017 By: Jason Bougger

The regular readers out there may have noticed I haven’t posted in over a week. Very sad, as since I first launched this site on January 1, 2015, this is the first time I’ve gone that long in between posts. It was a totally crazy week, with all six of us having varying degrees of […]

My writing and blogging goals for 2016, plus some big news!

Fourth Quarter News, Updates and Goals

October 1, 2015 By: Jason Bougger

As you may or may not know, in addition to Write Good Books, I’m also the owner and editor of Theme of Absence, an online magazine of fantasy, science fiction, and horror. And if there is one thing I love, it’s horror. Like a lot of horror fans, I have a crazy obsession with all […]

Awesome opportunity for Colorado writers

March 3, 2015 By: Jason Bougger

Oh, man. For those of you in the Denver area, you MUST check out Genre Fest 2015 next month. The event features author David Morrell’s “How to Write Best Selling Fiction” workshop. If you’ve never heard of David Morrell, he’s the author First Blood and a whole bunch of other cool stuff, but to me, […]
