Thomas McAuley's Dark Fantasy Blog http://www.thomasmcauley.com/blog.cfm Thomas McAuley is a fantasy writer living in San Antonio. I enjoy sharing my own writing and writing-related experiences, helping others learn to write better as I become a better writer myself. I document my writing trials and writing milestones. Along the way, I include some non-writing info to help keep things more interesting. en-us Copyright 2012 Thomas McAuley's Dark Fantasy Blog, All rights reserved.
