Okay, so I was checking out the search strings that lead people to my site, and I’m pleased that DEMON ANGEL and Meljean Brook (and Meljean Brooks) are among the top twenty. The other seventeen? All about He-Man. I kid you not. So, curious, I dropped by the old blog and checked out my He-Man […]
I think it’s great that people still use things like a phone book to look up a number. But I a) hate talking to anyone on the phone so much that I let my answering machine get EVERYTHING b) won’t call anyone unless I absolutely have to, and usually know the number already c) don’t […]
I was feeling better today, so I didn’t read as much (I’m starting on THE SCHOOL FOR HEIRESSES anthology today, finished Kathleen O’Reilly’s BEYOND BREATHLESS (Harlequin Blaze) last night, and it was as good as the review that made me notice it in the first place said it was). I’ll probably be reading a lot […]
Except I did laugh so hard I cried a little. Oh, Miiiiisssssssssssssssyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!! MISSY: I’m freeee! MELJEAN: Not for long. Just long enough for you to explain something. MISSY: Aw, man! I hate you. MELJEAN: Well, I can’t take long, because I’m not feeling so well, and any moment I might have to abandon the computer […]

And now I remember why I didn’t keep LOVING EVANGELINE: Robert Cannon. What an asshole.
I really, really enjoyed FORBIDDEN MAGIC (even though, okay, at one point I was practically screaming “why won’t you just TELL HIM ABOUT THE STATUE???!!!!”) but the characters were fun and interesting, and that’s really what I read for. According to her website, she has two primary series of books: a Company of Rogues (regency) […]
Today (or I guess yesterday, since it’s after midnight) was my dad’s 60th b-day. Happy Birthday, Dad! This year I’ll be 30, so I guess I’m the same age as he was when I was born. That seemed more important at 2:00pm today when I was driving down to his house, like there was something […]

Robin, who won an ARC in my “name that series!” contest, posted her review today. Rosario posted hers today. Billie Jo at Romance Junkies has hers up. I’d have more to say, like how freaking overwhelmed I am, but I’ve got to get back to work and keep making the next one the best it […]

It’s not just that spam is really dumb, that they try to trick all of the spamguards with bad spelling “pr0n girrl suxors c*och!” and subjects like “Hi! I got your message!” because I never fall for them anyway (because I don’t send messages to people I don’t know.) No. It’s the disappointment. When I […]
I’ve heard that my book is in Wal-Mart, which is very cool. I’ve also gotten some very lovely e-mails from readers — thank you all 🙂 There’s really nothing more fantastic than opening up an e-mail to see that someone enjoyed Demon Angel, and that it was money and time well spent. It’s almost 11:30, […]
…I’m totally changing them. Maybe. Okay, and not totally — just rearranging some of the scenes to give the opening more oomph. I think oomph is good. But still basically the same, as far as content goes — and if I can make it work. I hadn’t intended to change those chapters all that much, […]
Congratulations to Cherie, Julia and Holly! Cherie and Julia won a copy of Demon Angel, and I’ll be sending Holly the ARC of Demon Moon as soon as they land in my lap. Thanks to everyone who participated! If you missed it, this is what we did: Missy gave some advice to authors. I gave […]
In my THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND post about “pantsing” at The Good, The Bad, and the Unread, romblogreader had this question: As you progress through writing and revising your second and third novels, have you remained as much of a “pantser” as you were for the first? Has the preliminary stage of writing changed […]
