I went to bed about four-thirty last night after finishing a scene that I really liked (even if it was also very rough), woke up late for 1st day back to school, somehow got daughter/husband there on time, drove sister to work…and was stopped because my brake light was out. While stopped, I learned that […]
I make a little soundtrack for each book, but this one … well, I haven’t been in the car as much (I can’t write while listening to music, so the soundtrack is for when I’m doing other stuff (usually driving)) and the one I did make at the beginning of the book has disappeared (and […]
My 2008 releases Demon Night, “Thicker Than Blood,” and Demon Bound have been showing up on “Best of…” lists — and I just want to take this opportunity to say Thank you! to everyone who has tried the series. This is the best job in the world, but I couldn’t be doing it if readers […]
(but not the last words I’ll be writing, because I’m hoping to get another couple of pages in before I hit the hay) I just ran across something that made me realize that I’m not bothered when generalizations are used to criticize the romance (or other) genres. For example, “So many alpha men!” We all […]
(I haven’t read the book in question, but it reminded me of something from my last batch of copy-edits.) In the original draft of DEMON BOUND, Jake has this line (talking to Drifter about Alice’s husband): Husband? More like a cocksucking crybaby. Copy edits came back and it looked like this: Husband? More like a […]
CONTEST! WILD THING, which includes my novella “Paradise” and stories by Maggie Shayne, Marjorie Liu, and Alyssa Day is releasing next Tuesday. So, so, so! of course I’m giving some away. Leave a comment below (easy enough, hmm?) and on Monday, Jan 5 at midnight, I’ll randomly choose three winners. You don’t have to […]
I updated WordPress, then messed around with the theme a little bit … and broke it all. My Lazy Meljean theme files were just gone, the main site was gone (eek!) and it was a big mess. So I finally did what I’ve been intending to do for a while (although I had wanted to […]
I’ve dropped in on The Book Smugglers today to celebrate Smugglivus with them. I’m not airing my grievances or performing any Feats of Strength … but there is a link to a Thundercats video. Oh, and a chance to win DEMON BOUND.

He needed children for an advertising campaign. . . All Cesar Machismo wants is to ensure the bambinos of the world experience the flavor explosion of his company’s newest baby-food, Thai Shrimp in Peanut Dressing. But when he goes to an orphanage looking for a new spokes-baby, he finds twins with eyes the color of […]

Here is a handy list, so that you will know where to go each day to read the new chapter: 12/15 – Carolyn Jean 12/16 – […]
I have an interview and a giveaway up at Marta Acosta’s Vampire Wire, so I’ll be popping online to answer any questions over there, and today is the start of The Italian Gourmet Baby Food Baron’s Ironically Pregnant Virgin Mistress. Catch it over at The Thrillionth Page!
I’m not the best person for remembering dates and gauging the passage of time anyway, but I just got my contracts in today and noticed that the deadline I thought was at the end of a month (Feb) is actually at the beginning of the month. Eek! So, except for a few posts that I’ve […]
I was just lurking at the BDB board, and came across what might be the best avatar I’ve ever seen: honeygraceyoy, you have made my day. Maybe even the rest of my year.
