making lists

I’m not talking about the NYT or USA Today bestseller lists (though a huge congrats must go out to my my bestie, Lauren Dane, for hitting the USA Today list! WOOOO!) – I’m talking about a numerically ordered grouping of items with a shared theme of some sort. Oh, like…a “To Do List.” For example, [...]

Revision time!

I’ve started revisions on my upcoming book, due out in 2012 from MIRA. It’s called All Fall Down. I have no cover or blurb for you, but it’s about a young woman raised in a cult who is sent to live with her father (not a part of the cult) and — wackiness ensues! Okay, [...]

Precious and Fragile Things is now out!

Yeah, I know, I’m a little bit behind. This is why — because by the time a book comes out, I’ve already lived with it for so long (in this case, literally years and years and years) that sometimes it’s hard for me to remember that really, it’s BRAND SPANKING NEW! (I just wanted to [...]

the To Do List post

So…yesterday I finished spanking a book into shape, along with a couple synopses, and sent that off for perusal. I cleaned my desk, did laundry, watched some X Files (while working), played some pinball, caught up on some episodes of Lost (I’m on Season 4) and generally accomplished a lot. Today, I think I will [...]

If you asked me for a sneak peek booklet for Precious and Fragile Things (read an early review here) they’re on their way — if you sent me an email about it and didn’t get a “on its way” message, please let me know, as that means I didn’t put them in the mail for [...]

Back to work!!!!

It’s finally here. My first day back to “work.” Kids are off to school, Superman’s out saving lives. Minor kerfluffle this morning when the bus didn’t come and I had to drive the male spawn to school. Bah! But it was made up for by: 1. Watching Jericho with the girl spawn. 2. Exercising. No, [...]
