The Meljean-isn’t-a-hoarder DEMON BLOOD giveaway!
CONTEST CLOSED AT (OMG!) 343 ENTRIES! Winners’ names will be posted Friday, July 2nd *** You guys probably remember my post a few months ago about the show Hoarders, and my fear of becoming one. Well, here’s the thing — a few days ago, I woke up to a knock at the door, and a […]
Meljean, 0; Giant Ball of Burning Gas, 1
Today I took my daughter out for a half-an-hour walk around 11am. It was 70 degrees. I spent most of it in the shade. Guess who has a sunburn right now? *headdesk* This is why I write about vampires, folks. I understand them so, so well. (Also, watch this space on Friday for a big […]
My RomCon Schedule, July 9-11 in Denver
***I’m making this a sticky until I get back*** Below, I’ve listed all of the events I know that I’m going to attend. I’m pretty certain that there are a few more that I will have to fill in, but for the life of me, I can’t remember everything that I signed up to do. […]
Apology to my husband
Dear Bobby, You might have noticed that I bought a bunch of new underwear today. But I’m sorry — it’s not for you. I have to share a hotel room with a few other ladies in a few weeks. I couldn’t go in my old stuff. I’ll probably shave my legs more, too. But at […]
Keeping track of the police
My grandpa used to have a police scanner. I don’t know why he kept it, but it’s tied as closely to my memories of him as his racy forearm tattoo, his cigarettes, and his mashed-potato pancakes. The scanner would sit beside his recliner (and horse-head ashtray) and was always on, a little red light running […]
Ack! I’m a forgetful jerk!
Sorry, everyone. I promise I’ll be back next Friday with real content. Until then, a(n oddly relevant to my idiocy and absence) comic that made me laugh hysterically, from K. Beaton’s Hark! A Vagrant. Also, a huge giveaway, including a chance to win ARCs for two Odd Shots authors’ July releases (Nalini and me!) is […]
Cooked celery comes from the devil, raw celery comes from Heaven
I don’t know what it is about cooked celery, but there’s pretty much nothing in the world that will send me running faster the other way than the putrid stuff. Which doesn’t make a lot of sense, I know, because I lurve me some raw celery. Plain, with ranch (but I grew up in Dallas, […]
Iron Duke cover! (sans airship)
So, this is the almost-final cover to THE IRON DUKE. If you saw the prelim version in the Berkley fall catalog, you’ll notice the changes are basically that he’s bigger and dirtier…just the way I like him. š The background will be changed a little (they are adding an airship) but since it’s a small […]

Meljean’s e-reader review (kind of)
So, after Jill talked about her ebook reader, I thought I should have a review of mine. Except I don’t really have a dedicated ebook reader, because I’ve been waiting until every ebook distributor and publisher decides to use one ebook format (epub w/no DRM? kthxbai). Meljean hateses proprietary formats, she does. Until then, I’m […]
Panic Mode
So I’ve hit panic mode writing the latest book. It’s not as bad as it sounds — I’ve been working like crazy the past few months, and panic mode just means that a lot (more) anxiety is riding along with it now. But it’s also really, really focused, so that the writing is a lot […]
Team Varney! or, Dress Meljean!
This morning I was at Target buying mailing supplies, and as usual, I headed past the printed t-shirts on my way to the checkout.* That was when I saw these (you can click to enlarge): …and I couldn’t decide which one to get. I’m not really on one team or another, but the shirts make […]
