Because I really shouldn't let a year pass without posting this…
Is it really geeky to admit that I love love the music to this, or just an admission of bad taste?
A link between magically fertile heroes and TSTL heroines?
You know, the TSTL ones who always forget their cell phones or let the battery die when a serial killer is after them. Apparently, there’s a link between cell phone usage and decreasing sperm quality … so that explains how, after the killer has been caught and the couple firmly ensconced in their HEA epilogue, […]
It takes time to cross multiple state lines … sometimes. D'oh!
The problem with living on the west coast is that when you set a story on the east coast, you kind of forget that you can drive across four or more states in the same amount of time it takes to get from the Oregon coast to the Idaho state line. And so it doesn’t […]
"The Closer" tv show question (spoilers)
The last episode, the one with the Tijuana drug cartel storyline — did I completely misread the ending, or did Brenda actually let the guy go into the jail using the other dude’s name, knowing that he’d be killed … and that he was killed? Or did I miss a line somewhere that said they […]
Utter failure.
I can’t do audio books. By the equivalent of the second page, I want to tear out my hair. I miss seeing the words, and it feels so slow. My attention wanders, and all I hear is blah blah blah in the background, so it doesn’t come back. But it would be so handy — […]
Feeling very old.
I gave one of my daughter’s kindergarten friends a ride home today. Currently, I’m driving my FIL’s Corolla — he’s out of state for a while, so I’ve been switching between cars so that neither one is sitting for weeks on end — which doesn’t have any of the extras. Even the extras that aren’t […]
Sorry, Missy
Meljean: Last week on Twitter, a few of us were waxing nostalgic about Silhouette Shadows books — the category paranormal line that came out in the early- and mid-1990s — and it reminded me that I’ve been drafting this post for … well, almost a year now. Missy: Wait, wait! 1990s? As in … you […]
If you upgrade WordPress and suddenly get a plain blue theme…
don’t panic! You just have to go in and re-activate your old theme after you’ve updated. I just upgraded, and a few things did go crazy (like the random symbols splashed through my posts.) The fun comic book smileys aren’t working, and won’t until I edit the page again … which probably won’t be until […]
Anya Bast's THE CHOSEN SIN contest
That graphic is just the most awesome thing ever.
If you've won a copy of FIRST BLOOD but haven't received a "You've won!" e-mail from me…
Please contact me through the contact form, or check your bulk mail/spam folder. I think my e-mails are getting lost in the Yahoo and Gmail spam filters.
Signing on Friday, September 19 at the Powell's Books in Beaverton with a ton of other authors
Although they’ve listed First Blood as the book for the signing, they have my entire backlist there (I saw the stack last week, and went into minor shock at seeing so many of my books in one bookstore. 😯 ) Here is the info copied from Powell’s website:  Upcoming Event Friday, September 19th 2008 07:00 […]
Pimpin' Your Book
Authors – The Swivet is having a fantastic series on publicity and getting the word out on your book. There’s a lot of great info there (including what a publicist can/can’t do for you.)
Well, here I am
I’m rewriting the beginning of the hellhound novella again. Remember when I figured out that my conflict sucked? Well, it did, and I fixed it … but then I didn’t change much else. I decided to just change how the information is given out. Big mistake. I could barely write it, because it was awful. […]
My love for Rufus Sewell
Dark City is easily one of my top five movies. More recently, my love continued with The Taming of the Shrew. But I’m not yet feeling the love for The Eleventh Hour, which premiers this fall. Although, who am I kidding, right? I know I’ll check it out. Maybe it’ll be a little more exciting […]
