Happy New Year!

I am posting because I desperately need your help. There’s a book on my mind, but I can’t remember enough of it to identify it: It’s epic fantasy, probably written in the late 80s or possibly the 90s. The main characters were a bard and mercenary. They fell in love over the course of the [...]

Happy holidays

Yes, that’s my Christmas tree this year (and the actual view into the front garden / garage). The kids did a great job, don’t you think? I mostly supervised. This is the last post I’ll be making for 2009. Sometimes I do a “best of” post, including my top ten favorite books. I’m not going [...]

RWA has stones!

Romance Writers of America was informed of the new venture between Harlequin Enterprises and ASI Solutions to form Harlequin Horizons, a vanity/subsidy press. Many of you have asked the organization to state its position regarding this new development. As a matter of policy, we do not endorse any publisher’s business model. Our mission is the [...]

Unreasonable Expectations

Unreasonable Expectations

So Harlequin Horizons. I debated on whether I should post about this. But sometimes I just can’t be silent. This is one of those times. I’m not with Harlequin. I have no dog in this fight. I’m not aspiring. I’m not interested in self-publishing or vanity publishers (this is an example of the latter). I’m [...]
