New Book from a Critter Member
**NOW IN PRINT EDITION TOO!** Awesome new book, HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SPECULATIVE FICTION OPENINGS, from a Critter member who's unearthed a shard of The Secret to becoming a pro writer. Really good piece of work. "...if you're at all concerned about story openings, you'd be nuts not to read what Qualkinbush has to say." —Wil McCarthy, author of BLOOM and THE COLLAPSIUMThe Sigil Trilogy
If you're looking for an amazing, WOW! science fiction story, check out THE SIGIL TRILOGY. This is — literally — one of the best science fiction novels I've ever read.

Rachel is a brilliant author who deserves recognition!
Rachel's articles are always filled with the best gems. When I see a blog of hers on my social media feeds....I always read them! :D
Rachel's article offers no-holds-barred advice for writers who need a swift kick in the derriere. I love her candor. Her desire to help writers is transparent; her delivery is sobering. She's all straight talk, no chaser.
Rachel Thompson's tough-love attitude to supporting writers has made me sit up and listen many times. Her advice is always spot on, and she is generous with it. Deserves recognition for her outstanding contribution to the writers community.
My favorite article this year!
Entertaining - and useful at the same time!
An excellent read for any author of any genre!
Rachel detailed her examples with humor.
