My charmed life
Here’s an IM conversation with my husband for your enjoyment: Lizard Sighting Me: There was a lizard sighting. I’m still shivering! Andres: Did the cats tromp it? Me: Don dragged it in and maimed it, but ran off while it was still alive. I thought it was dead. Tossed a bag on it to make [...]
The Big Reveal: Jax lovers rejoice.
Remember when I told you to watch this space? It’s time. Negotiations are finished, and it’s now official. *drum roll* DOUBLEBLIND and KILLBOX are a go. That’s right; Jax three and four (titles subject to change and release dates to be announced) have been contracted by Ace. Dance Monkey says, “Let the dancing begin.”
Business as usual
Well, I’m back from vacation. I had a fantastic time in PV. Later this week, I’ll see about uploading the video from our whale-watching tour. Most fun I’ve ever had in a boat. I’ll write more about the vacation later. This post is mostly just some announcements. First, check this out: Wanderlust is up for [...]
Romantic Fantasy
Today I’m pimping an author you may never have heard of. I adore her books, and I think y’all should have a chance to love them too. So let’s talk about… Moira J. Moore Amazon.com Widgets The first book in her series is RESENTING THE HERO, then it’s THE HERO STRIKES BACK, and finally, HEROES [...]
I’m home!
Well, I survived my first con. Luckily, it was a small one, where I could get my feet wet. I think I’m ready for RT now. I enjoyed meeting readers. A few were kind enough to buy Grimspace (more than a few, in fact — we sold out before I had my official signing on [...]
Come up and see me sometime
Today I’m packing and finalizing all my travel plans for tomorrow. My blogging will be spotty until after I get back on Monday. I promise I’ll take pictures for those of you who can’t be there. If you can, come see me at OmegaCon in Birmingham, March 14-16. If you live in / near Atlanta [...]
In praise of the idiot
You read that right. I wrote a post over on It’s Not Chick porn, wherein I confessed to finding Frye’s love for Leela deeply moving. Sure, he’s an idiot and never does anything right, but he’s loyal and devoted and sometimes…yes, even… heroic. There, I said it. Like that episode where Bender falls in love [...]
Meet my new imaginary boyfriend
He played Lucifer in The Prophecy movies, and he rocked. He embodied Aragorn in the Tolkien-inspired blockbusters. But he didn’t win my devotion until last night when I saw him in Alatriste, speaking excellent Castilian. Today he sealed the deal in Eastern Promises. Be still my heart; he was freakin’ awesome. Oh, and the movie [...]
Ah, the glorious intertubes
During my research for HELL FIRE (Corine Solomon, book 2), I ran across this site: Buy a Hex This discovery dovetails nicely with my world-building, wherein I posit that the arcane actually exists hand-in-glove with the modern world. It’s just found other ways of doing business. So here’s my question to you, dear readers: Let’s [...]
Not for the first time…
…a TV show made me go WTF. After writing 4500 words, I kicked back with my husband and watched Bones. Some David Boreanaz as a reward for my hard work — what could be better, right? Well… the episode was called Death in the Saddle. Read about it if you dare. Pony Play? Really? God [...]
