Every writer I know thinks about book covers A LOT. No wonder, really — a great cover can make a book, a terrible cover can break one. They are supposed to market the book, let the reader know the genre, and be aesthetically pleasing, all at once. And on this blog, where we’ve made fun […]
First up: the winner of L.B. Gregg’s GOBSMACKED is… Steph! Congratulations, Steph! If you will contact me with the e-mail address that you want me to send the book to, I’ll send it over ASAP. Also! This time, I’m over LB’s blog, creating motivational posters out of Glamour Shots … and other shots. LB is […]
First: I should have Gobsmacked winner announcement up soon! I am still getting my head on straight today. Second: I was over at VampFanGirl’s Guardian extravaganza (today is Wild Thing!) and some Nathan Kamp love came up in the comments. I’ve had my share of pretty Kamp covers (and no one is sure if the […]
Over at Odd Shots, Jill lists the Top Ten reasons to buy On the Edge by Ilona Andrews. I could add a couple of more, namely that Ilona rocks the worldbuilding, added a strong romance, and she’s just a fabulous writer … but Jill’s is funnier than mine. Don’t forget that you have until midnight […]
First up — VampFanGirl is having a week-long (actually, nine days) Guardian review and giveaway extravaganza! First up is Hot Spell and “Falling for Anthony,” tomorrow will be a review and giveaway for Demon Angel, and on Wednesday … well, you get it. Did she love love love “Falling for Anthony”? Well…not exactly. 😉 See who […]
I’ve known Lisabea for a long time — I was a huge fan of her reader blog, Nose In A Book…before she betrayed me. All of a sudden she’s not just Lisabea! She reveals a secret identity, and she’s suddenly L.B. Gregg, author. And so what if her website is quirky and fun and I […]
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! Sob sob sob sob sob Obsessive checking of Amazon #s hysterical laughter sob sob sob sob pulling hair and screaming Hahahahahahah! Hahahah! *sob* Throw up. Throw up. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! ….. …so, now I’m totally ready for Demon Forged‘s release next week.

Once upon a time, I wrote a little book called Demon Bound, which featured a heroine who could communicate with spiders (and who fed them vampire blood, because she’s a nutjob) — and while writing that book, I did a lot of spider research. Not a lot of that research ended up in the book […]
My apologies to everyone who can’t look at YouTube videos. I didn’t intend to have two YouTube posts in two days, and I have no idea why I ended up on YouTube, looking up Bob Ross at midnight. I know there was a link that took me there, that there was a reason I wanted […]
Giant robots. Cleavage. Tea. (H/T to b.)
Did I mention I’m filling in again at Odd Shots today? Heh. Yeah. Still getting used to this double-blogging thing (does that sound dirty or what?) The signing at Powell’s was FANTASTIC! Marti from Powell’s was as amazing as always, and it was great catching up with both authors and readers. Debut author Margaret Mallory […]
If hearing Happy Monday! makes you want to gouge your eyes out (or mine) then I have the post for you, created with one sole purpose in mind: to get you through your work week. And, sure, it has very little to do with working…but that’s the fun of it, right? There are some steps […]
Ah, Mary Sue. We all know one. She’s the girl with amethyst eyes, the twee name, the startling power that no one else has but everyone wants. She’s the girl that the bad boy falls in love with, that the villain falls in love with, that the other girls hate until Mary Sue is soooo […]
I’m at Odd Shots today, talking about Mary Sue and Wal-Mart. Tonight, I’m going to be at the Cedar Hills Crossing Powell’s, signing Must Love Hellhounds and my backlist. And it’s not just me — there’s a whole list of authors attending, so it should be a great event. The details: Friday, September 18th @ […]
there are people online who don’t know about Furniture Pr0n. I’m here to remedy that. So, click. Scroll down to the pink Go! buttons. Click again. Weirdly NSFW, not because the images are so bad, but because you’ll NEVER be able to convince your boss that you aren’t a perverted freak.
