What device do you use?
To read on, I mean? Do you use a PDA, Pocket PC, smartphone, or dedicated ebook reader?
For me, the discovery of electronic books was a wonderful thing. In the early days of motherhood, I read a tech magazine that featured the Gemstar Bookstore and their dedicated readers. The reviewer sang [...]

Raven Radio!
Posted in writing on May 23, 2008 | No Comments »
Michelle Pillow and Mandy Roth are two wonderful and hilarious authors. I love their Wednesday Lunchtime show, but haven’t been able to make it for the past few weeks because of all the school commitments as the school year closes. WOW - that’s a really long sentence.
Those Raven Nights!
Raven Radio, as mentioned in Romantic Times [...]
First Person, the writer’s knuckleball
Posted in writing on April 19, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I am a first person author. This week, in light of Tiger, I’ve been asked a lot of first person questions and urged to blog about it. Before I get started, I’d like to point out that I’m not Jim Butcher, Laurell K. Hamilton, Katie MacAlister, Keri Arthur…well, you get the point. [...]
It was all a mistake!!!

Got up, grabbed my computer before coffee, clicked the Samhain bookmark, and grinned in excitement - until I looked at the page (the home page shows todays new releases, don’t cha know). No Sasha. No Cat Shifter book at all. I’m frowning now. Clicking to the Coming Soon. Nothing. They’re not there, either.
Hysterics bubble up. I’ve [...]

*grins* Our darling Angie was the guest blogger at Write Minded today. Did I mention she’s totally awesome?

She started it like this:
“Do you remember your first time?
The excitement, the nerves, the almost painful anticipation of something you wanted so much…and yet were afraid of all at the same time?”
Let me tell you, I’m so excited, [...]
Thoughts, directions, and beginnings

Today, I took a leap. I created my yahoo group. It’s called Paranormal Society and I hope it can be a forum for active discussion on all sorts of things. It is, first and foremost, a social loop. Come join us at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/paranormalsociety/ for all the fun, conversation, and the occasional update from me.
I put a lot [...]
Maggie Awards

Well, the Maggie Awards were a night to remember.
Yes, I won my category - and Chessie Welker came in second! She’s a wonderful person and I can’t wait to see what she does next!
Lessons learned? When people say always prepare yourself to win? Do it. Because when you don’t, and you actually do win, everything [...]
TOP 3!!

WOW!
My Maggie Finalist manuscript is in the top 3 at the Romance Junkies contest! Now, it’s off to Dorchester and the final round of judging. I’m not really expecting to win; however, it’s very very cool to be in the top 3.
Speaking of Angelic Avenger, the finals of the Maggie Awards will be announced this [...]
Dirty little secrets…
Posted in publishing, writing on September 15, 2007 | No Comments »
I was reading my October edition of my Writer’s Digest and there is an article by a guy who was talking about the different types of writers. He mentioned the people who broadcast their intent to write the “Great American Novel” to anyone who would listen and those who treated it like a dirty little [...]
Waiting and Moving On

*sigh*
The excitement is dwindling down around here. Three weeks until we find out about the Maggie Awards, where my long manuscript is in the finals in the Paranormal catagory. I’ve got my outfit ready, my hotel reservations for the conference in hand, my new business cards ready to go, and working on my pitch.
My contracts [...]
