…and I’m pretty terrified. (click here for a spoilery review of the initial script by Sue from DC Women Kicking Ass’s awesome blog.) It’s a show that I’d probably like if they didn’t call it “Wonder Woman.” Sigh. I guess that is the price of being a fan. It might not end up being terrible, […]
So, the Old Spice guy is back. I love these commercials. They’re awesomely funny, and have such a great awareness of just exactly who does the shopping for a lot of guys: their girlfriends/wives (or, for the younger dudes, their mothers). Sure, there are a lot of single guys out there who are buying their […]
…breaking my hiatus for a quick post. Formerly Falling Angels, this anthology will feature a Guardian novella (“Ascension”) and stories by the amazing Ilona Andrews, Nalini Singh, and Sharon Shinn, and will be out in October. What do you think?
I mentioned on Facebook the other day: My daughter (seven years old) is upset that I haven’t yet taken her suggestion to write a Guardian book titled “Demon Star”. She’s serious enough about it that I’m pretty sure I’m going to have to make up a fake cover, wrap a book in it, and pass […]
Not today, but I got the notice yesterday to come in next month. I’m hoping that it doesn’t echo my last experience with jury duty, which was almost exactly 11 years ago — and which ended up being an 8-week triple murder trial*, so I had to drop all of my classes at the university […]

I’m a late adapter. Although I really like gadgets and things, I’m pretty reluctant to buy myself new electronics and other non-essential items, because a) I’m cheap, b) I’m certain they will break anyway, c) I know my husband and kid will just steal it, like my iPhone. Of course, I eventually give in, because […]

Aside from my weekly posts at Odd Shots, I’m shutting down the blog for the first part of 2011. Although the blog archives will be available, I’ve moved the links from the menu and front pages. I’ll still be online now and then on Twitter and Facebook; you can contact me there, or through my […]

with a new cover (kind of), a new pen name, and a gift certificate. Come on over!
So I was reading Justin Cronin’s THE PASSAGE (quite entertaining, by the way), and there is a post-apocalyptic section of the story set in the future. In that section, there is a woman reading a romance novel published in 2014 by Jordanna Mixon, called BELLE OF THE BALL. It includes a heroine named Charlene DeFleur, […]
Okay, so it’s not really Steampunk Romance Week anymore, but since I know readers are still looking for more steampunk romance, I’m still happy to bring it to your attention. Today, I’m interviewing Christine Danse about Island of Icarus — a steampunk romance released on November 29th from Carina Press. So let’s get started! How […]
And it’s exactly what I’d hoped for. Hurry up and look! I asked my editor if I could post it and then was too excited to wait for her response so I might have to take it down!* I’m guessing that there will be minor changes (like quotes and other text added.) *So, ahem, until […]
Marjorie Liu is one of my favorite romance and comic book writers (really, can there be a better combination?) Not only does she have a new book out in her fabulous Dirk & Steele series, IN THE DARK OF DREAMS, she’s written an excellent article for Newsarama, challenging non-romance readers to try one out. (She […]
I’ve had the title for Michael’s book in mind since my editor and I first settled on “Demon Angel” for Book 1. Obviously, all of the books in the series have carried on the same format, “Demon Something” — but for Michael’s book, I planned to change that up and let “demon” be the second […]
