Animated Shorts
One of the things that I love most about YouTube is how many digital animation schools and small studios put up their animated shorts. Like short stories, they can be a quick pick-me-up (or downer, depending on the story), but most are well made with fantastic soundtracks, and the perfect length for when I’m waiting […]
Yay! and Ow!
I opened up Twitter this morning to some awesome news: The Iron Duke has been selected as a Best of 2010 Romance by Publishers Weekly. I’m in great company — check out the list: The Forbidden Rose by Joanna Bourne The Iron Duke by Meljean Brook The Heir by Grace Burrowes Barely a Lady by […]
For my sisters, who watched this off-the-TV copy of Superman II with me a zillion times
And because Zod and his cronies did kill that kid, and Superman did throw a cellophane ‘S’. No matter what the Donner cut says. Also: And E.T. shoes from Buster Brown. I couldn’t find the one about wearing rubber underwear (although the whole movie is on YouTube now, the trailer isn’t.)
5th Anniversary Winner … Tawania Etheridge! + five others
Congratulations, Tawania! Thanks to the power of random.org, you’ve won the set of Guardian series romances — I will be e-mailing you shortly for mailing details. To everyone who entered — thank you so much! Although I didn’t have any more full sets of the series, I have a few copies of First Blood and […]
Next Week, I Will Be Stupider
I’m getting my wisdom teeth out today. They tell me that the process will take about an hour, and that I’ll be able to drive home afterward with some simple pain meds …. which, to be honest, is kind of disappointing. I was hoping for some really great drugs, especially after the experiences that my […]
I can’t decide if this is awesome or really creepy.
Via Fashionising, is a link to a (boobies! NSFW) jewelry photoshoot. At first, most of the pictures look like typical still photography. Then (if you don’t leave your mouse over them), the images animate — not in a smooth, movie-video way, but a high-quality-GIF-put-a-bunch-of-still-frames-together-way. It’s almost like something out of a science fiction film … […]
Demon Angel – Thai Cover
Thanks to May for sending the link to me! She says that the title translates (politely) to The Beloved Devil … and the direct translation is The Beloved Bitch. 😆 Love it! The cover is after the jump:
November 1, 2010 – The Guardians’ Fifth Anniversary
Five years ago, my first Guardian novella was published in Hot Spell. A year from now, I’ll be turning in Michael’s book and that will be the end of the Guardian series (aside from revisions and edits). And since we know that I’ll take any excuse to give books away, my five year Guardian anniversary […]
Worst Cliffhanger Ending Ever
I forgot to mention earlier that I have a guest blog over at RhiReading, all about getting superheroes out of their spandex (and on never-ending series, and whether to model a romance series after a comic book serial). I noticed that Netflix has the Dark Shadows (1991) series online. I won’t watch it, because I’m […]
The Spoiler-Free Project Runway Post, featuring Jean-Luc Picard

Crushing on Wesley Crusher
This post inspired by Sharon, who commented after one of my blog posts that “dorkery is the new cool!” — to which I replied, “I wish that had been true during high school. I would have been awesome!” Very, very awesome. And although I haven’t exactly been in a high school lately, it seems to […]
And thus ends promo month!
Aside from a few links and interviews that I’ll announce as they come up, there’s nothing but dorkery from here on out. At least until August 2011, when Demon Marked comes out. Since that book is due in December, intervals of silence will interrupt the dorkery at times. I will try to bring crickets to […]
RT & Others (a w00t! post)
The Iron Duke has been given RT Book Reviews’ October Seal of Excellence, and they say some really lovely things about the book at that link. Other recent reviews have been Mrs. Giggles’ and Felicia Day’s (and I’m hard-pressed to say which brings out the bigger fangirl in me). I also ran across Sarah’s (at […]
More steampunk (and one Victorian-inspired TV show)
Tor.com is current in the middle of their steampunk fortnight. It includes short stories, blog posts regarding different aspects of the genre, reviews, and more. Also, @janoda on Twitter pointed out that there are more steampunk romances listed here (Goodreads link), including some that I don’t have on the steampunk romance week roundup. And did […]
Expectations and Fulfillment
I’m in the middle of a Steampunk Romance Week over at my blog, which includes interviewing some great visiting authors. The first question that I’ve been asking the guest authors is, “What is your definition of steampunk?” For every author, there is a different answer — and so, after a while, I do start wondering: […]
