<div class=\"postavatar\"></div> Started off with a booksigning at the Barnes and Noble in Wyomissing, PA…I’d never been there before but the reception was fabulous and it was such a nice store. I have bookstore envy now. (The closest BN to me isn’t nearly as nice, is still 30 minutes or more away and gave me [...]

***I wrote this on the train on Friday, 3/29… So, I’m on the train heading to NYC for the NINC conference, and all is well except I don’t really know where the bathroom is. I have this thing about knowing where the nearest toilet is – and considering I just drank a DCWS I should [...]

Hi, all. I’ve been getting quite a number of hits lately to this blog, so welcome. Thanks for stopping by! (Though if you’re looking for Megan Padalecki, I gotta tell you…I’m still not her and sincerely doubt I ever will be.) What you will find here — news about my work, blatherings about my work, [...]

In fact, I know I’m not. I’m not the only person to talk mostly about stuff I like rather than what I don’t. Not that I’m immune to a good rant now and then, mostly about stuff that makes me nuts like kids not doing what they’re told or people doing stupid stuff like walking [...]

So, I found this letter I wrote to myself in oh…2005, maybe? Not sure. Here it is: Dear Self – You’ve wanted to be a writer since you were in elementary school. You’ve won praise and awards and great reviews; your work has fans who buy it and READ it and recommend it. You can [...]

Security.I’m truly blessed.I don’t understand people who focus solely on the negative — why waste time on things you [...]

WRITTEN SUNDAY, posted Monday… Okay, so I’m at the café in Barnes and Noble again. Not too many cute boys today, though I do see a few familiar faces. I didn’t write too much today, maybe four or five pages, but they’re four or five GOOD pages and I’ve figured out (I think) how to [...]

Haven’t done one of these in a looooong time! Thirteen Things about Things Megan Just Doesn’t “Get” 1. Why Different has to be Wrong 2. How anyone would ever think saying something online they’d never dream of saying in real life could be appropriate. 3. How some people can possibly imagine the things they DO [...]

I’ve had my share of snide comments and snarkiness. It’s inevitable, you know, when you write romance AND (gaspohnoes!) erotica. It just happens. Even when it’s unintentional, the “why’d you put so much sex in it” to “I’m sure you’ll write a really good book someday!” can really add up. And that’s from people who [...]

And why, why do you hang around? So…despite the bitching and moaning and self-doubt and fear and angst and woe and general bleakness… Despite that… I wrote today. And then later, I vacuumed. And as I did, it happened. AHA! AHAHA! YESSSSS! There it is. There it was. What would happen next. Now, I only [...]
