guest blog (and girl on girl action)
Today I’m guest blogging over at It’s Not Chick Porn. The topic is agents and how to get one, and I think it’s a pretty helpful article, if you have any interest in such things. Even if you don’t, it’s worth your time to stop by and comment because saying hi gets you a contest [...]
What would you do…
…if you knew your husband was going to die, and there wasn’t a single thing you could do to change the outcome? That’s the question posed in the Sandra Bullock movie Premonition. I saw it tonight, and holy crap, talk about having your heart ripped out and stomped. This movie is a tearjerker. Seriously, first [...]
announcements
I have a number of announcements today. Not the big announcement, though. For that, tune in next week. I’m no longer doing reviews. If you hadn’t noticed, I took down the button. Why? Well, a couple of reasons — I want to devote my reading time to stuff I choose to read. Reading for review [...]
Thursday 13
As I read about the Triskelion trainwreck on various sites, especially Smart Bitches, who apparently have GONE TOO FAR, I am saddened. Authors pointing fingers, saying crazy shit they’ll be sorry for later. That’s when it occurs to me — we’re missing something special here in Romancelandia. We need a credo, a code of ethics [...]
the trip to puebla
I know I promised some pictures, so I’m finally delivering a slideshow. I tried to keep the photos in the order in which they were taken. The first day, we checked into the hotel, went straight for the zoo, which is a driving safari. There are places you can get out and stretch your legs, [...]
name the sequel to Falling
I was in emails with a couple of friends, asking for help when it occurred to me — I have an untapped resource in my blog readers. My focus has shifted to Falling, but before I can write the sequel, I need a title. That’s how I work. First the title, and then the story [...]
waiting sucks
Just ask this monkey. He’s been hanging around his tree all day, waiting for some exciting shit to happen, and he’s still waiting. I had a big old long whine rant on this subject ready to go, and then I reread it, and realized it stank of authentic authorial panic, so I sent it to [...]
8 random things about me
Lainey tagged me, so here we go. 1. I have a heightened sense of smell… 2. …and a black thumb. 3. Before I put on an item of clothing, I smell it. This is a habit picked up in college when I didn’t do my laundry as often as I should have. I still do [...]

13 d’oh! moments (or the ways I prove I’m a dipshit, over and over again) 1. When I first got Gmail, I couldn’t figure out why they advertised Spam so much. They were always offering me recipes, right? Maybe a year later, I realized those only popped up when I got into my Spam folder. [...]
in case you haven’t noticed
I’ve defenestrated the blogging schedule for good. At first, it was nice to have guidelines, but then I got tired of limits on what I can talk about on any given day. In case you haven’t noticed, I’m not a big fan of rules. So where do we go from here? Wherever I feel like. [...]
