It’s that time again! I have an ARC of my upcoming release, DEMON MOON (June 5) to give away. There is a catch, however: because this is an advance reading copy, I want to use it in the way it’s intended to be used: if you win, please post a review on a) Amazon, BN.com, […]
Thank you to everyone who participated in the DEMON ANGEL contest! According to random.org, the numbers are 7, 19, and 31. Whuh? Three winners? Well, here’s the thing: turnout was a lot better than I expected, and it seemed kind of sucky that only one person out of 41 might win, so I picked up […]
Hee. Okay, over the next couple of weeks I’m going to be posting a few more contests (DEMON MOON ARCs, and when I get in copies of WILD THING, giving away some of those) an interview with a proofreader (that I have to finish writing the questions for, because I’m an idiot and apparently running […]
The first Kurt Vonnegut book I read was GALAPAGOS, and I knew I was going to always love his work when his narrator began putting asterisks after the names of people who were soon going to die, so as not to unduly upset the reader. Anyway. Maybe he can see more over the edge than […]
Went to the Beaverton Borders for my first reader group — and it was awesome. I really wish I’d known about it before, but it wasn’t until Tammie at nightowlromance.com gave me a heads up that I found out about it. I met Marcy Dodge, who was RWA’s Bookseller of the Year a couple of […]
Except it might cause a few problems in the early days. If you have an image from me that has suddenly been replaced by this: let me know, and I’ll see what I can do to fix it. It should only be blocking from myspace (where quite a few strangers like to hotlink to He-Man), […]
Here’s all you have to do: tell me in the comments how you originally found this site (or use the contact form if you don’t want to de-lurk). Because I’m assuming that a lot of people here already have a copy, remember that you can also: 1) Give it as a gift to someone you […]
Thanks to random.org, you’ve been selected as the winner of THE LEOPARD PRINCE! (Which I am halfway through (the first copy I bought) and enjoying very much.) I’ll be e-mailing you. Thank you so much to everyone who entered, and for your stories — so many of those, I can relate to, one way or […]
Her favorite pastimes were riding her horse and tormenting the farm boy who worked there. His name was Westley, but she never called him that.

So, I was walking around B&N today, and bought a copy of DEMON ANGEL so that I could use it in a contest a bit later this month, which will include an ARC of DEMON MOON (and I’m just mentioning all of this so that this post turns into promo and I can totally write […]
So I went to dinner at the in-laws, like I do every other night. And, like usual, we watched OPB. Only tonight, they had a program on called “Novel Reflections on the American Dream”, and the description is this: Many of our finest writers have dared to wrestle with the inequities that lie in the […]
Any book review that begins with Arthur Phillips reinvents the Gothic bodice-ripper in the sex-drenched Angelica, a dark and perverse tale that seamlessly mixes psychological disintegration, the dissolution of a marriage and the trappings of a classic ghost story. is going to make me take notice. The review makes it sound interesting … but also […]
…while cooking spaghetti. (Or actually, a variation of spaghetti, with shell pasta instead of spaghetti noodles, because I’m really tired of spaghetti.) But apparently the pasta gods didn’t like that, and made my big toe pay the price. Also, I’m no longer a JR Ward virgin. But that has nothing to do with a) my […]
I just spent WAY too much time watching these. :joker: Part I Part II Part IIIÂ
Because I’m sick, that’s why. Do not ask why I put “elephant penis” into Google Images. Only marvel at this (kind of safe-for-work, because its an educational model, but I’m still putting it after the jump):
