On Writing

Wonderful, wonderful essay by Greg Rucka, not only about writing strong female characters, but about writing characters and building worlds.  Go read, now.

    Absolutely right, Sandra. A great essay. Rucka is one of my favorites because of his female characters, and Diana freely admits that Tara Chace could kick her ass.

    Count me in as big Greg Rucka fan as well. I think I've liked just about everything of his he's done.

    I've heard his name in a few places, but never seen his books around anywhere. I'll have to start looking harder.
