Let’s Dish Available for Preorder

Was tootling around on the internet tonight, and came across this. Let’s Dish is available for preorder at Fictionwise! Mind you, they have it under erotica, which it’s not, but hey – still pretty cool. I’ve never bought a book from Fictionwise, preferring My Bookstore and More, so I can’t tell you anything about thier [...]

One Week

I’ve been so busy with a sick kid and the day job today that it took an email announcing today’s Samhain releases for it to register.
Let’s Dish releases in a week.
Holy cow! A week! I’m on the front page of the Coming Soon section! After five years of writing my buns off, my book is [...]

Happy Medium

I’m on my honeymoon. Not with my husband, of course. We did that nearly sixteen years ago, and trust me – the honeymoon is decidedly over.
But I am honeymooning with a new book. That wonderful stage when hopes are so high, everything is new, and nothing’s gone wrong yet. The story and I haven’t had [...]

I’ll Never Look at Bing and Bob the Same Way Again

Friday night I indulged in a little writer chat with a group here in town. Great ladies, and we had one heckuva time. As we discussed writing comercially, the topic drifted to writing erotica. None of us have ever tried it – or I should say, tried it sucessfully. We won’t discuss the scene I [...]

Deadline Deadbeat

Another Time Around is due next week. The blog is the first thing to suffer when I’m on a deadline, so I apologize for the lack of actual content as of late.  I’m almost done, so hopefully I get better about posting here.
The second thing to go to hell is my hair. My roots are [...]

I’ve Said This All Along

My kids hate me because I limit what they can get from Scholastic. I say it has to be a book, but you would not believe how much useless crap they still get.
From today’s Publisher’s Lunch:
Scholastic Under Fire for Selling Merch to School Kids
The Boston-based Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood is agitating against Scholastic again, [...]

Let’s Dish Bonus Scene: Kevin’s Story

I moved around a lot as a kid. Air Force brat. Worse-officer’s brat. I’ve lived in the North, the South, the middle, and even in Germany for a bit. Hell, I never attended the same school two years in a row. By the time I was eighteen, I was worn-out by my mobile lifestyle.  When [...]

Who Trusts that Stupid Groundhog Anyway?

Below zero again here in the frozen North. Again. We’ve been at this since December – are we done yet? Not according to Punxsutawney Phil. Little snot locker saw his shadow, indicating six more weeks of winter. Like we didn’t know that already. (How indicative is it of my mood that I wrote the word [...]
