Mostly, my books and the process of getting them on the shelves.
You have won an ARC of Demon Angel by participating in the “name that series!” contest! Congratulations, Robin! I’ll be e-mailing you. Thank you to everyone who entered, and your fantastic suggestions. I hope to have an official name for this series soon. Don’t forget, Tuesday, December 26 — Monday, January 1 is de-lurking week […]
I just got in my first bound copies of DEMON ANGEL! I’ll admit I teared up a little. I’m such a weenie. I didn’t take pictures, though, because my house is a mess and I didn’t want to spend any time Photoshopping pictures from HGTV.com into the background. There are tiny changes from the first […]
To give you an idea of how scatterbrained I am: Today’s my sixth wedding anniversary, and I completely forgot until my mother-in-law reminded me, and asked if Bobby and I were doing anything special tonight (short answer: no; long answer: well, I’m going to make chicken spaghetti (which is item #4 on my 6-item-food-repertoire (not […]

…okay, actually, she wrote “Demon Angel by Meljean Brook is powerful, beautiful, and absolutely breathtaking.” But taking a quote out of context is a time-honored tradition! And I, for one, like both versions. I’m a perpetual lurker at Gena’s blog, because she’s writes faster than … well, maybe not Le Nora, but pretty darn close […]

I finished the “coming soon” page, which is of course just DEMON ANGEL. But it has a bonus excerpt. If you like that kind of thing. — ETA: Crap. I hadn’t checked my main site in IE7 before tonight. The layout is broken all over the place — and none of the pages centered. Grr. […]
Blergh. I’m sick with a nasty headcold. Still writing, though. I’m pleased with how this version of the proposal is going, and it’ll definitely be out by Monday. Which is good, because I just got the copy-edits back for “Paradise” (in WILD THINGS, with Maggie Shayne! and Marjorie Liu! and Alyssa Day! /shameless crowing) and […]
CONTEST TIME AGAIN! I received a few ARCs from my publisher, and the one I’d marked for AAR … well, they already have a copy. So I unexpectedly have a print ARC to send to one lucky winner! I do want to live up the the ARC name, though, and make it serve its purpose […]
I have ripped apart my proposal for the third time now — this will be my last time. I was allowing myself some leeway with time while the agent stuff was all squared away, but now that I’ve got the agent/author agreement and am sending it out and everything’s official, I need to give her […]
Demon Moon is now available for pre-order at Amazon.com. I’ve included a non-spoilery snippet of dialogue after the jump, just because all of the awesome reviews of the new James Bond are making me craaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzyyyyyyyyy and I probably won’t see it until it hits DVD. Thanksgiving was spent in Dallas (OR) at my mother’s house […]
Woot! That little round face at the bottom left is ME! This is for the upcoming (November 20) issue of Publisher’s Weekly, which focuses on the romance genre (the article is apparently “Fresh Faces in Romance”). I’m at the bottom of a pile of hot mama debut romance authors, and I’m loving it! In fact, […]
The title twice, my name and site, most of the book cover… and I tried to make the color scheme fit the cover a little better. Whaddya think? (The back of the bookmark will have a little more info, like ISBN and purchasing, and a little shout-out about Demon Moon.)
So these are two very preliminary versions of bookmarks that I might send to a printer — the size is 2×6 inches, and would go to booksellers. Which one do you like better? And, do you have any suggestions? Should I crop the photo more? Is the one with the entire cover better, do you […]
It’s not completely official (I haven’t signed on the dotted line yet) but unless the agent/author contract requires me to dance naked in NY once a week … okay, I’d probably do that, too. I wouldn’t mind visiting NY that often. And she loved Lilith. ‘Nuff said. So, woot! ETA: Woot! I’m already listed as […]
…but I think it’s okay because, although it’s on a blog, there really can’t be any discussion yet. But Tara Marie said about DEMON ANGEL, I for one loved it. It’s a page turner. You’ve a fabulous writing style and distinct voice. And, your world building is amazing. I rarely visualize characters as I read, […]
