I am back on my Excel spreadsheet

I used to do this a lot more (through all of DEMON ANGEL and DEMON MOON) — have my daily and weekly word count/goals updated in a spreadsheet, along with a graph (that is terrible to see when you have less than half the book done), percentage done (I set it high — 150K — […]

I'm made happy so easily

Via SF Universe, it’s a poster for Terminator: Salvation Has anyone been watching the Chronicles on TV? It’s been hit and miss, I think … but overall pretty hit for me. After the disappointment of a few other shows (Fringe, sigh, and Eleventh Hour) it’s one that I’m still making a point to either watch […]

Happy Turkey Day!

I am heading down to my parents’ house tomorrow morning (with my laptop). While everyone else is cooking, I’ll be writing … which is probably for the best, as my culinary skills are not legendary. Yesterday I took a day and made sure I had all of the story threads mapped out through Michael’s book […]

Probably my favorite post of the year.

Not that my memory is all that awesome.  Dear Author rocked my socks today with their Romance Apologia Scale.  I’ve gone through all of the modes, honestly. Hiding, denial, guilt. My favorite? Aren’t those books just about sex? I don’t know.  I just found this on the park bench and wanted to help with the […]

Free Novel: Kate Rothwell's THE RATCATCHER

,

Kate Rothwell (aka Summer Devon) is making her historical romance novel, THE RATCATCHER, available for free download (it’s a PDF)*. She only asks that if you download it, please e-mail her and let her know. But I’ll go one more and say: if you download it, read it, and enjoy it, send another e-mail and […]

Missy is alive and well inside me.

Missy is alive and well inside me.

,

You know how when you were Missy’s age you would lie in bed and daydream about that ONE GUY who never looked at shy, awkward little you, but in your head you could imagine him slowly noticing how awesome you were, but then you found out you were sick and had to reject him and […]

Irena is angry, angry, angry.

, ,

I haven’t written a character like this before. It’s an interesting balance — because her anger can’t always come out violently and she can’t always be surly, or it would be hard to care about her romance or her story (I think angry heroes have it easier than angry heroines). So it’s shaping a lot […]

Carrie Lofty's WHAT A SCOUNDREL WANTS contest

Carrie Lofty's WHAT A SCOUNDREL WANTS contest

,

I met Carrie Lofty briefly at RWA this year, and have been looking forward to her debut ever since. It’s hero is Will Scarlet, which was enough to sell me on it. You can go here to find the widget (it’s embedded in this post, but it doesn’t alway show up in various readers.) Ann […]

I heart this book.

I heart this book.

,

I have a soft spot for dandies. And Loretta Chase. And characters who try to understand one another rather than falling into the all-too-easy misunderstanding trap that you think is coming, and are wonderfully surprised when it doesn’t.  And that is all.
