It’s that time again! I have an ARC (plain white cover, might have a few typos, 448 pages, small type) of my upcoming release, Demon Night (February 5) to give away. There is a catch, however: because this is an advance reading copy, I want to use it in the way it’s intended to be […]
More tomorrow. Good thing is, modem is working, my regular e-mail seems to be working *crossing my fingers on that*, pages are uploaded, the skunk smell not so bad (I shouldn’t drive on back roads, I swear), people are married, I’ve turned thirty years old (maybe that shouldn’t be included in ‘good things’)… Okay, I’m […]
(Note #1: Click to enlarge. Then check out that quote on the bottom. You can never tell if it’ll last to the final version, but who says reader blogs don’t matter?) (Note #2: about a year ago, I couldn’t access my site at a library due to mature content. Now I can, and I’m not […]
As of today, I have two months left until my deadline for DEMON NIGHT. I’ve heard that the second book is that hardest, but I think in my case it’s going to be this one. Which is okay, and not wholly unexpected, because I’ve been struggling with it since the beginning. I’m freaking out a […]
So I just read Laura Lee Guhrke’s AND THEN HE KISSED HER (and thought it was very good, and so, so romantic at the end, happy sigh). And I love the setting. But this isn’t a review, because I’m not really good at those, but just a quick note that what I found myself thinking […]
Okay, so this must be one of the dorkier parts of my writing process: shopping for my heroine. Not really shopping, but looking through a bunch of magazines, online clothing stores, that kind of thing to find clothes they would wear. Usually, I end up going with one style or line of clothing. Selah, who […]
So, I’ve mentioned before that I make a music playlist for my WIP. A lot of the songs I originally had were country-slanted, but except for a few, that didn’t work out. The feel of the WIP has changed too much for me, but I couldn’t find the exact sound I was looking for … […]
I was feeling better today, so I didn’t read as much (I’m starting on THE SCHOOL FOR HEIRESSES anthology today, finished Kathleen O’Reilly’s BEYOND BREATHLESS (Harlequin Blaze) last night, and it was as good as the review that made me notice it in the first place said it was). I’ll probably be reading a lot […]
I have ripped apart my proposal for the third time now — this will be my last time. I was allowing myself some leeway with time while the agent stuff was all squared away, but now that I’ve got the agent/author agreement and am sending it out and everything’s official, I need to give her […]
(Okay, not really.) Somehow or another, my latest hero is turning into a cowboy. A guy from the Old West, turned Guardian. That, I didn’t expect. And onto more research now. Perhaps a reacquaintance with my ol’ friends Louis L’amour and Max Brand and Zane Grey, just for flavor. In other news, I was running […]
