Almost a year ago, I drove up to Seattle to tape an interview for Project Paranormal. Though I rehearsed my Guardian spiel all the way up I-5, as soon as the camera turned on I became a blithering idiot. (True story. I’m sure you’ll see the evidence of it soon.) And driving all the way […]
id_ballstothewall_v1.doc It’s really strange the stuff that reinvigorates me/lets me focus when I’m writing. Sometimes, it’s changing the font or switching from double-spaced-indented-first-line to 12pt-after-the-paragraph-no-indent formats. This time, it’s being reminded of how I’m approaching this series every time I look at the task bar or open the file. Other times, it’s just a matter […]
…is up at Odd Shots. Also, don’t forget that today is the last day to enter to win Carolyn Jewel’s INDISCREET. Her interview (and those amazing pictures of a certain vampire) will always be up, but the opportunity to win the free book won’t. It’s also the last day to win a copy of DEMON […]
If you don’t get it, lurk. Either you’ll get it eventually, or you’ll realize it isn’t for you.
…and setting a scene, but more about me being a fangirl. Hi! This is the opening page from SECRET SIX #12 (Gail Simone, writer; Nicola Scott, penciller, image totally stolen from The Source, DC’s blog). Meet Wonder Woman’s legs and the Secret Six: When it comes to showing, comics have an enormous advantage over prose. We […]
So, working on steampunk. I realize there’s a subplot that I need to push forward in the storyline. In fact, I need to start the book with it. So I run back a couple of chapters (something I don’t normally do; I’m usually very linear. But this is for a proposal, so I Make Exceptions) […]
So today is the release date for Must Love Hellhounds, an anthology featuring authors that no one has heard of before — like Charlaine Harris, Ilona Andrews, and Nalini Singh — and me. (I bet they all cried for joy when they heard I was participating in it, too. Their reaction on the phone with […]
In May’s Romantic Times, I was listed as being a part of the SHIFTER anthology. Nope 🙂 Only FIRST BLOOD in 2008.
Yesterday was one of those days when, although you work a lot, you don’t feel like you’ve gotten much done. I did take a couple of hours to catch up on a few TV shows, which was nice (except for the episode of CSI that I quit halfway through because I was bored.) Part of […]
Okay, so 99% of you already know this … but Nalini is having an awesome giveaway on her blog leading up to the release of ANGELS’ BLOOD, and the e-novella, ANGELS’ PAWN. (I read them both earlier this year. They are wonderful.) There is a new giveaway every day. There’s a widget embedded in this […]
I’m not sure which one of us is going to win. Or even which of us is the monster and which is WW. Also, I can’t wait for this movie. …and, back to work.
When I’m on deadline, my Google Reader backs up to the 1000+ posts (which I’m pretty sure is more like 3000+). But there’s one blog that I do check every day, and that is Ilona Andrews‘s. Not just because she has funny stories, great snippets from her WIPs, and because I heart her as a […]
I’m adding my voice to Kate’s. The clothes are hideous; the weight IS NOT. And if you were trying to satirize the reaction to the pictures, where so many people called her fat, you FAILED. This does not satirize anything; it sounds just like anyone who looks at Simpson’s weight and calls her disgusting. This […]
