Can of worms
There’s a big thread going at Dear Author about how RWA shouldn’t hate the erotic. I expressed the idea that it’s wrong for people who don’t want to judge inspirational romances to have to (when they haven’t signed up for them), just as conservative readers shouldn’t have to judge strong sexual content, should they prefer [...]
2010 RUTA Awards
It has come to my attention that filthy & fabulous books get short shrift in certain awards, so the time has come for a new star to arise. The RUTA celebrates all the books that don’t follow the rules. In Romance Up the Ass, we will cheer the foul-mouthed, sexually confident heroine. Graphic bangage? Fine! [...]
How my life is different than before
Earlier this week, I Twittered about being out of water. It wasn’t a mechanical issue; there was simply no water in the city tanks because we’re suffering from a drought. The responses astonished me, because I’ve grown used to the vagaries of living here. Things that once would’ve totally flummoxed me, I now work around [...]

I am frantic with responding to fanmail, selling my soul to Google, & just generally being a biatch to my cats. My day seems to be packed [...]

As a “Jumper” who navigates ships through grimspace, she’s used to kicking ass first and taking names later—much later. Not exactly the obvious choice to sell the Conglomerate to the Ithtorians, a people whose opinions of humans are as [...]
Reader Feedback: Blue Diablo
This is always the MOST exciting part of a release for me — finding out what readers thought of a book. Here’s an excerpt from a review I read today: “That’s when it hit me: not only did Corine’s thoughts and fears remind me of real life conversations, everything from those issues to the description [...]
The next book?
I’m taking nominations now for the next book we read. Most likely, it won’t be until the end of April because things are crazy for me right now. That said, the ballots are open. I’ll start with a couple possibilities: DESIRE UNCHAINED by Larissa Ione ANGELS’ BLOOD by Nalini Singh Name your own in comments. [...]
