Horizon Delta Available for Preorder!
The final entry in the Horizon series releases September 1! Don’t miss the conclusion to humanity’s search for refuge in a hostile universe. Jonah was born on a dying spaceship.

I am the Hero
It’s been a challenging year here at wendyvogelbooks.com. I’ve been a cancer survivor since 2011, and last summer it decided to drop by for a visit. It ate my left hip, which has been replaced by the T-800 (with built-in rocket launcher and smoothie machine), and has proceeded to enjoy my liver, bits of lung,Continue reading “I am the Hero”
Today’s featured interview author is William Thatch, whose story “Barely A Story” is included in the anthology “A Flash of Words.” If you had to do one thing differently with your story, what would it be?

Writer after writer posts their query letter or back jacket copy for critique, and it becomes obvious that for some reason theContinue reading “Why Writers Suck at Writing Their Own Jacket Copy”
It’s All In Your Head
I love the Olympics. For two years at a time, I could not care less about sports. I don’t watch sports on TV, I don’t go to sporting events, and when I’m running, I’m always listening to an audiobook, so it doesn’t count as exercise so much as story time. But that all changes whenContinue reading “It’s All In Your Head”
