Free plug Friday!

Recently, my friend and colleague (via Raw Charge) Cassie McClellan made her Facebook page available to writers who wanted to plug their stuff. I thought it was a great idea and a very nice thing to do so naturally, my first impulse was to steal it and re-purpose it here. I happen to write along with other people at a couple of different outlets so I thought I would use this platform to share with you some of the stuff these other fine people are doing. Heaven knows I've plugged enough of my own crap here over the years. It's about time I spread it around a little...

I'm a contributing member of the Peevish Penman writer's consortium. As a group, we're kind of dormant right now but we're still connected. Here are some of my colleagues from there and what they're doing...

• Check out the blog of Rob Hines at RobHinesWriter.net. His name is Rob and he is a writer.
• Another Peevish Penman colleague with a blog is Molly Field and hers is titled Grass Oil. Why? Read it and find out.
• Of course, the Peevishest Penman of all is our fearless leader, Carrie Bailey. She's a writer and an artist and loves to help other writers. Peruse her output at PeevishPenman.com. You can also buy her books Bungle of Oz, The 3 Indispensable Rules for Taking Charge: A Reptilian Guide to Personal Finance and World Domination, and The Handbook of the Writer Secret Society (I contributed to that one).

You already know that I'm one-third responsible for The Unbelievables. My partners are

• Jeff Hickmott who is behind The World of Jeff, Transition Town Tenterden and Rosie's Blog.  
• Michael Noble who does Rupe's Value Added Services ... Redux, Adventure Time, Bozo Nose, and F (STOP), along with the work he does for CliqueClack.

I work with some wonderful people at RawCharge.com, where we cover the exploits of the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning. That enterprise is under the supervision of editor-in chief John Fontana. Staff writers doing other stuff include

• Clare Austin has a blog where she tackle the subject of Puckology.
• The mysterious Allokago loves the AHL's Syracuse Crunch and covers them at Chairman How's Glorious Army. 
• Nolan Whyte is not currently listed on the Raw Charge masthead but he pops in and out frequently. He has written four books; Late at Night, Comeback Road: A Rock and Roll Adventure, Among the Humans (Nolan is especially proud of this one and would really appreciate it if you would take a look) and About a Bird: Poems From Jerry the Bird.

There are others with whom I haven't had the pleasure of working (yet) but they're still eminently plug-worthy:

• Nicky Westbrook and Angie Bailey are the creators of a comedy web series called, 82 South St. They describe themselves as "frustrated ex-theatre students turned stay-home-moms who needed a creative outlet." They have two season out there, the first of which consists of six stand-alone comedy sketches.  The second season is a mockumentary called, Fowl Play Chicken Daycare and is about two estranged sisters who inherit a day care center for chickens in the small, fictitious town of Fowler, Texas, home of the Fightin' Cocks. You can visit their Facebook page, their YouTube channel, and their web site.
• Su Ring-Vitue, under the pen name Ann Brandt published her novel Steel Goddesses in 2010 and is working on new stuff we should see soon.
• Sabrina Simon (aka Roxanne Wilder) published her first novel, In the Stars in 2012.
• Relatively new to writing, Tara Shrodes is using her blog to figure out life's great mysteries to the sound of some great music.
• Speaking of great music and figuring out life's mysteries, be sure to check out the wry and hear-rending musings of the legendary Ronny Elliott at his blog.

Are there any other great people and things out there that I either forgot or don't know about? Oh, absolutely. Feel free to share them in the comments below. If it's you and you're shy about that kind of thing, you can always post anonymously (You coward! Stand up and be incredible!)
