Cat’s Tale Cover and Release Date

 

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…

Newsy News News News

 

Have I got news. First, my little mermaid short story, “Each Step Sublime” is going to be part of Jane Litte’s Agony / Ecstasy anthology to be published by Berkley in Fall 2011.  There are some fabulous authors included (see link for list). I’m giddy and grateful to be part…

Holy Schmoley

WordPress!

 

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…

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…

Squee! ZOMGWTFBBQ!!! Or, How I Reacted to My First Acceptance Letter

 

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…
