I’m totally stealing this from my friend Doug who does this so brilliantly on Facebook. Are you a writer with questions about writing? Ask! Are you a reader with questions about writing? Ask! Are you Keanu Reeves, wanting to take me on a motorcycle ride? …you don’t even NEED to ask. So! G’wan. Ask away! [...]

Oh, dear. Well, my doves, the writing is a slow-going slog recently. I’ve been working on cleaning up my computer so I can upgrade the operating system, and you know, that’s never a quick or easy project. I love my computer…I work on a 27 inch iMac I’ve had for about three years. The only [...]

So it’s come to my attention that someone is publishing short erotic stories on Amazon, BN.com, etc. using the name “Megan Harten.” This person doesn’t seem to have a website or anything else using this name — like, you know, if it was a real person using a real name.

So. What fuckery is THIS? Let me say, first of all, that I’ve been using the Kindle self-publishing program for a few years now. My experience with self-publishing has been fine. I prefer traditional publishing in which I get paid money up front, sometimes before I’ve written the book, but I also do like that [...]

So, I always knew I’d like to watch Californication. I mean, c’mon. David Duchovny? I’ve had a hardon for that sumbitch since he wanted to believe. And, he’s playing a writer? Honestly, I don’t usually like media portrayals of writers, because they’re almost never like my life, and I find myself agitated about my lack [...]

1. I find it hard to give my heroines “jobs.” This is because my job is being a writer, and it’s the only job (aside from being a full-time stay home mother, which is a job, believe me. It’s a job) I’ve had since 1997 or so. So, I like to have my heroines have [...]
