Romance and marriage means spending a lot of time thinking about what to get someone else, and what to do for that person. There are so many reasons: just because, birthdays, special occasions, la di da. But there are a couple of things that you shouldn’t do, and I’m happy to share two with you […]

I’m at a Starbucks right now, using their internet connection. My wireless at home? Kaput. That’s not always bad. I love the weekends where my family and I get away, and leave the computers behind. And for the past several weeks, I’ve deliberately turned off the internet so that I can work work work. I […]
Amazon seems to have Demon Forged on sale, for almost half off the cover price ($4.67). Will that last beyond today? I have no clue.
Obviously, I really love talking about covers (or Photoshopping them.) This time, it’s all about foreign covers. Although it doesn’t always happen, many books receive new covers after they’ve been bought by a foreign publisher and/or translated. There are two primary reasons for this, and one is that the rights to the artwork don’t always […]
I have gone through every caffeinated thing in our house, but desperately need some to keep going this morning. I found some Godiva’s mocha mix that is six months past the pull date. Will it kill me? Check yes or no. [poll id=”27″]
I’m a zombie fan. Movies, books, Jill’s fairy tales… Put a zombie in it, and I’ll automatically take interest. I’ve totally got my zombie survival plan ready (my husband will perish, I think, because he hasn’t watched as many zombie movies as I have, poor guy) but the truth is… I’m probably dead, too. Here’s […]
So, something I learned today was: The only thing better than a possessed zombie Wonder Woman is a possessed zombie Wonder Woman making out with Batman (and drawn by Nicola Scott.) It was totally a What The…? moment, but like Christmas at the same time. Hee. (Preview pages here, for those interested.)
ETA: It’s Ilona’s birthday! Head on over and wish her a happy one! 🙂 You know, 2009 wasn’t a bad year in a lot of ways, but I’m not sorry to see it go. And part of the reason is… I just didn’t get to many movies. I saw UP, Monsters vs. Aliens (with my […]
I’ve got a post up at Odd Shots featuring the trailers of several paranormal-ish movies that I’m looking forward to (once I get caught up with my writing.) I’m not online much, and I expect that this blog will be pretty quiet through the end of February, but I’ll always be at Odd Shots on […]
Edited to add: Wow, everyone — I can’t believe the response to this post. There were funny comments, touching ones, and just all around…you are all amazing. I wish I had a lot more sets of these to give away. But random.org has spoken. And the winner of the set of books is… LYSSA! Congratulations! […]
Feeling nostalgic? I saw this at io9.com — a blog called Growing Up Heroes, with a bunch of kids in their superhero costumes. My Underoos were just like this (the girl on the Big Wheel — I didn’t have one of those, but someone in my family did, because once I wheeled it backward off […]
…GENTLEMEN PREFER SUCCUBI, at her blog here. It’s fun and funny and sexy, and kicks off her Succubus Diaries series. It’ll be in stores next week, and the trailer for it is here: Jackie was an ordinary museum docent until a mysterious vampire and a fallen angel made her into a succubus. Now a sexy […]
The #1 reason I’ll be glad to see 2009 go? I’ve spent a good portion of it in my bed, coughing up my lungs, or blowing it into a tissue. Guess how I feel today? Bllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeergh. Good-bye, 2009. I hope you catch what I have and die.
…is really freaking good. And it comes is such a pretty little tin, too. ::hearty eyes::
…and posting them over at Odd Shots. But I’m warning you, they aren’t totally safe for work. Are you sure? Okay. Here’s the link.
