It’s Up!

Okay, call me a geek, but this is cool. Click on the “read an excerpt” link and read the first scene.  Also, I have to say, the warning cracks me up. But that could be just me.

Looking to ‘09

In her Christmas cards this year, my mother accidentally wished everyone a happy 2010. I can understand this, mostly because in my good old day job, I am always looking a week ahead. Why not look a year ahead? Especially since the economy sucks and 2009 is most likely going to be an uphill struggle. [...]

The Holidays – Bond Style

Hope everyone’s hollidays have been great so far. We’re not done. Oh, no, there’s lots more to come in the next week. This is party week, with Christmas and New Years and all the other holidays crammed into this short period each year. And at Chez Cate, the holidays this year have meant hours and [...]

Merry Christmas from Dante’s Fifth Circle

Sorry for the absence, folks. Been bogged down with the tummy bug from hell with all three kids. And blizzards. And 20 below zero weather.  Add to that the oldest who mysteriously comes out of his room this morning with a stitch-worthy gash over his right eye (no, he won’t say how he did it [...]

Go here to read about the future of publishing. Sounds good to me – except the whole “writer’s (still) won’t make money” thing.  But I should know by now that I am doomed to be a starving artist.

Not Just a One-Trick Pony!

This is a quick, down-and-dirty post, because today is crazy. However, I wanted to share with you all.
Another Time Around – a story about a rock-n-roll widow, her husband’s ghost, and the new guy in her life who just may be a psychotic stalker – has just sold to Samhain Publishing for release in late [...]

Letting Go

I am really bad about letting things go. I like to torture myself with past mistakes. I worry already about how I will ever live without my kids at home.  I’m still ticked at my husband for something he did years ago. Kidding.
But yesterday I had to let go not once but twice. Firstly, Let’s [...]

Samhain Here to Stay

Before I submitted to Samhain Publishing, I researched them a good bit. After all, they are a small publisher and I wanted to be sure they would be around for awhile. They seemed to have stood the test of time, so I went ahead and submited. I haven’t regretted it.
Last night we recieved an email [...]
