OMG, Twitter!
How will I live???? *sob sob* …okay, yeah, I’ll be away from my computer anyway. But KNOWING IT IS GONE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR PUTS A HOLE IN MY HEART! As in all things, Air Supply says it best:
Dorkery
Guilty pleasures, and pure dorkery.
I've realized I'm not really a writer…
I’m just a housewife who has found the perfect excuse to avoid cleaning. Laundry piling up? Um, sorry, I have a proposal due. Dishes needing done? I am SO on deadline. Hairy legs needing shaved? Oh, my god, I just have so many stories in my head and I can’t neglect them! Okay, I guess […]
Minor changes to the Demon Forged cover…
So I noticed that the Demon Forged cover was up at Amazon, and that there has been a few changes — the tagline, and my favorite changes is that they put “A Guardian novel” on the front. w00t! The other change might be because of this twitter from Nalini Singh, in regards to these two […]
Husband Training Journal, Year 8.3
Progress on: Toilet tissue roll replacement: satisfactory, though still needs reminding. Washing & drying laundry (his own, but that’s enough): satisfactory. Training complete. Putting away laundry: mostly satisfactory. Toast-making: excellent. Training complete. Washing own dishes: utter failure. Cannot comprehend that rinsing it out is not equivalent to soap, scrub, rinse, dry. I fear anything he’s […]

Ew! and LOL!: Paranormal romances have it backward!
In paranormal romance, typically it is the male who can smell the female’s arousal. But researchers have shown that it’s the chick who can detect the dude’s desire. From Fox News: Women Can Smell a Man’s Sexual Intentions Chen and her colleagues asked 20 heterosexual guys to stop wearing deodorant and scented products for a […]
The real-life inspiration for every line of sexual-tension-laden dialogue I've ever written:
SETTING: Meljean’s kitchen, 10:25, about twenty minutes after she and her husband (who we will call Bobby) have returned home (and not having eaten yet.) COMPLICATIONS: Meljean doesn’t want to cook anything substantial or time-consuming, so she pulls out the mac & cheese (generic brand, because she likes that better, and in dinosaur shapes, because […]
Reminder and a non-related poll about curling your eyelashes.
The Wild Thing giveaway ends tonight. Scroll down and enter for your chance to win. I was thinking about eyelash curling today, and I wondered: do people actually do that as part of their daily routine? Or is it just something that models do?

Oh, man — I'm old.
So, yesterday I was at the school picking up my daughter and husband, and had to kill a little time before we went home. So I took my daughter out to the playground, where a second-grader was doing a cherry-drop off of the bars. Only her cherry-drop wasn’t what I’d always thought of as a […]
w00t!
One of my favorite bloggers, Ciara, just posted a video interview with me. This was taken at the Powell’s signing, and I had dreams of being as awesome and collected as Joanna Bourne was in her RWA interview with Ciara … but, alas. I am totally me. 😀 And I just managed to spill my […]
