First day of School.

Exercised, which was good. Made coffee in my new maker, to replace the one that broke. Also good. Wrote! Very good! But didn’t write enough. Was stalled a little bit. Sort of playing around with where the story’s going, what it wants to be…this one has no contract or deadline and I have the tiniest [...]

I’m not sure how I feel about this.

On the one hand, I’m sort of consumed by the pretty, pretty, but on the other…I just don’t know. It’s a little too soft rock for my general musical tastes (though I love boys playing guitars, that’s more like folk or acoustic than soft rock) and the video is… It’s manipulating me, that’s what it [...]

Naked in Italy

Look at this! It’s Naked in Italian. How cool is that? And it’s coming out so soon after the American release…I don’t think that’s happened before. For me, that’s very exciting. You know what else is exciting? I get extra copies of my foreign releases and don’t need to keep them all! What does this [...]

Spread the love.

Fuhrealzies, babe! So a while ago, I got the most awesome fan letter, written by hand on pretty stationary with a fancy pen, in homage to my January 2010 release, SWITCH. (The heroine, for those who don’t know, loooooooves stationary. Me too!) I was so touched by that letter, it was so great to get [...]

Ummm…srsly?

Ok, so I’m here at home, typing away, typing away, when the phone rings. Caller ID tells me it’s my health insurance company calling. I almost don’t answer because what on earth could THEY want, but then I recall the ridiculous expense I just incurred for a test that ultimately turned out to be NOTHING [...]

On a lighter note…

SPAM is totally getting really creative these days. I have no idea how WordPress figures out it’s spam, but whoo, boy howdy, it’s catching some good stuff! SPAM BE GONE! M

Thank you. Thank you!

I’d just like to formally and officially thank everyone who supports the arts community by purchasing not only my books, but also the books of my friends, and even people I don’t like. I’d like to thank you for purchasing the books of people I’d rather see fall in a mud puddle than have a [...]

Upon being called gritty and horrific…

I actually had an entirely different topic to write about today, but got derailed after receiving a rejection from my agent. Via my agent, I should say, as it wasn’t my agent rejecting me but an editor who’d sent an email to my agent. The editor said the project was “incredibly compelling and creepy and [...]

Spartacus! Blood and Sand

Okay, so I know I’m a bit late to the party, but as seems to be the case A LOT, I was recording this show and then never managed to get caught up with it, so now I’m devouring it via Netflix streaming. WOOOOOOOO!!!! Blood, guts, harsh language, full frontal male nudity! YEAH! Love the [...]
