Mostly, my books and the process of getting them on the shelves.
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 […]
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 […]
As of today, I have two months left until my deadline for DEMON NIGHT. I’ve heard that the second book is that hardest, but I think in my case it’s going to be this one. Which is okay, and not wholly unexpected, because I’ve been struggling with it since the beginning. I’m freaking out a […]
So I just read Laura Lee Guhrke’s AND THEN HE KISSED HER (and thought it was very good, and so, so romantic at the end, happy sigh). And I love the setting. But this isn’t a review, because I’m not really good at those, but just a quick note that what I found myself thinking […]
Remember that game where you have a line of people and you say something into the first person’s ear and they whisper it to the next person, on down the line, and then the last person says it out loud and usually the sentence has been completely changed? I was reminded of that when I […]
I’ve finally updated my Myspace page and added a link to the sidebar. I’ve been fiddling around with it for a couple of months, but never quite finding a layout or anything that I liked … and I’ll admit that I’m resistant to it, because the interaction is so odd. And I haven’t been a […]
Sigh. The word is spectacularly stupid, and yet I’m doing it. I may be the last author to do it, actually — but it might be necessary. It occurred to me while I was checking my Amazon page that the product description for Demon Angel is not very, um, informative or helpful. Book Description All […]
Usually when I say that, it’s a bad thing. But in this case, I’ve just been working on the page proofs for DEMON MOON, and having a great time. I must have read through it five more times this week, and I still love the characters and the story. It’s long, it’s long, it’s long, […]
Okay, so this must be one of the dorkier parts of my writing process: shopping for my heroine. Not really shopping, but looking through a bunch of magazines, online clothing stores, that kind of thing to find clothes they would wear. Usually, I end up going with one style or line of clothing. Selah, who […]
And had a conversation that went kind of like this: Meljean: Hewwwwo? Agent: Hi! Good news! Berkley liked your proposal for the next Guardian book! Meljean: Shweeet! Agent: They made an offer, do you want to take it? Meljean: Yesh. …so two more Demon books and a novella. Can we say *HAPPY DANCE*!!!! Oh, and […]
So, I’ve mentioned before that I make a music playlist for my WIP. A lot of the songs I originally had were country-slanted, but except for a few, that didn’t work out. The feel of the WIP has changed too much for me, but I couldn’t find the exact sound I was looking for … […]
(Note: This was a Q&A that I did in January for the Berkley/Jove Newsletter. I’m posting it now so that it is available through my main site’s Extras page, and because I don’t have a link to the real newsletter. If you got here from the main site … welcome to my blog.)

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 […]
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 […]
