Wow. It’s a little more than a month before CAT’S TALE: A FAIRY TALE RETOLD will be available for purchase from Carina Press and many other fine e-tailers–I’d better get pimping. To the left, you will see the lovely, lovely cover done by the fabulous Frauke of Croco Designs.  I’ve…

I’ve been meaning to move the blog over to WordPress for the longest time now. Figures I’d get the gumption to do it the same weekend I vow to buckle down and wrap up a proposal I’m working on. Ah, procrastination. Anyway, here it is. I still have a bit…

That’s how I felt when I hopped on the Internets this morning to read Sherry Thomas‘s combined review of Ember and Like a Thief in the Night at Dear Author.

I should be all aglow with happiness–the final version of Like a Thief in the Night is turned in, and the excerpt is up on the Samhain site. Instead, all I see are things I want to change. I can’t help it, I’m a fiddler. I nitpick. I tweak. Editor…

You already know how fascinated I am by the whole editing process. Perhaps if I am published several more times, I will become jaded enough to complain about it, but, for now, it’s super neat-o cool. My editor Laurie has been great about explaining the process, the schedule, and all…

Woke up this morning, bleary-eyed and bitter – same as any morning when I have to wake up before noon (which is just about every morning). Hopped over to my laptop to check my email accounts. Screamed and jumped up and down like my name had just been called on…
