What do these books have in common?
Find out here on February 1st at 1pm PST. (Yes, there are prizes involved.) And just because:
Publishing
Mostly, my books and the process of getting them on the shelves.
Slight Correction
I received an early copy of DEMON NIGHT today (my preciousssssss…)** and noticed that on the last page, there is a “coming in November” notice for my next book. But it’s going to be DEMON BOUND, not DEMON UNBOUND as listed. It was changed between the time I gave my editor the tentative title way […]
A couple of things.
AAR’s Annual Poll is still ongoing (until mid-February). Apparently, voting is slowing down early — don’t forget to cast your vote for your favorite book of 2007 (but, uh, not just that favorite book, because you have to enter several categories, and straight-ticket ballots are deleted, I think.) Okay, and this is interesting — it […]
For Micki Ferrets and other Ethical Considerations
**NOTE: If you read this post in its entirety, please also be certain to read the comments. I do not purport to be an expert on plagiarism or on writing — I’m just another crazy who’s doing my best to tell a good story, and to write it in an ethical way. I might be […]
Signed copy of DEMON NIGHT
Lisabea’s having a contest at her wonderfully entertaining blog, Nose in a book! Details here.
A new cover!
I love getting new covers. This is for my story, “Thicker Than Blood,” in the FIRST BLOOD anthology that comes out in August.
Dear Ms. Klausner
You wrote in your review (that will show up at every online bookstore): To keep her safe from the demons who want her for some unsavory reason, Ethan thinks Charlie should become a vampire. Thank you for the review, but I thought I should point out that this is — in every way — wrong. […]
Meet DrifterA Demon Night excerpt
It’s going to be a busy writing month for me, so I won’t be posting too much (except for contests and such, and a long-winded post about covers), but I thought I should start the New Year off right — with a bit of Ethan. So here’s an excerpt from Demon Night (it follows the […]
NO POWER IN THE 'VERSE CAN STOP ME!
…except my stupid internet. 2007 shall be remembered by me as the Year of the Shitty Connection! (the exclamation is important.) My computer would connect everywhere but at my house (where I resorted to using dial-up from my old university account (26.4 kbps!! WTF? Do they still make them that slow?) that couldn’t actually send […]
Early Demon Night Stuff
As part of a guest blogging post for the 2007 Love of Reading Book Fair, Jane from Dear Author had some really nice things to say about Demon Night. That early feedback is always the most frightening — after the book has been out a little while, you know what reactions have been so although […]
Demon Night ARC — Contest
It’s that time again! I have an ARC (plain white cover, might have a few typos, 448 pages, small type) of my upcoming release, Demon Night (February 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 […]
Halloween (the Moon edition)
Every once in a while, you come across a concept that is so freaking cool, that you bang your head and wonder why you didn’t think of it. I ran across one of those today when I read an interview at Occasional Superheroine, regarding a new Zuda.com webcomic by David Gallaher and Steve Ellis called […]
Quick update
More tomorrow. Good thing is, modem is working, my regular e-mail seems to be working *crossing my fingers on that*, pages are uploaded, the skunk smell not so bad (I shouldn’t drive on back roads, I swear), people are married, I’ve turned thirty years old (maybe that shouldn’t be included in ‘good things’)… Okay, I’m […]
I hope the librarian doesn't catch me doing this, but …
(Note #1: Click to enlarge. Then check out that quote on the bottom. You can never tell if it’ll last to the final version, but who says reader blogs don’t matter?) (Note #2: about a year ago, I couldn’t access my site at a library due to mature content. Now I can, and I’m not […]
Not exactly a "D'oh!"
Thanks to HelenKay and Sybil, I found out that Demon Moon is being reviewed in the upcoming issue of Entertainment Weekly. And it got an A- Yeah, it rocks, really freaking hard. But here’s the thing that gets me right in the gut — I haven’t seen too many romance reviews come out of EW […]
