I have to take a moment to send a very excited congratulations to my friend Shannon who found out today that her manuscript was accepted by Ellora’s Cave. Shannon will soon be able to refer to herself as a Published Author 
I have only recently gotten to know Shannon but her wit, sarcasm, and zest for life shine through loud and clear in every communication. I can only imagine that her book is going to be a fantastically fun read.
Congratulations Shannon!
The New York Times had a fascinating story today on the ‘new fad’ of parents blogging. While I realized I was following a fad when I started this blog (and felt no shame about it!) I didn’t realize quite how popular it was among parents. I mean, I read Dooce.com and have seen a few [...]
Well, it’s that weekend again. The one where the Speed Channel shows the Barret-Jackson Auction being held in Scottsdale, Arizona. Also known at my house as “The Auction of Cars I Will Never Be Able To Afford in This Lifetime. Unless My Wife Divorces Me, Marries A Rich Guy, and Keeps Me on the Side… [...]
So I didn’t get to blog yesterday and almost didn’t today either. Whoever says that stay at home moms don’t have anything to do but sit around, watch soaps, eat bon-bons, and read smutty romance novels, has obviously never actually held this job. Or if they did, they had a housekeeper, a chef, a nanny, [...]
Bumbolicious!! My little Popeye! Hi Mom! It’s MY Lovey! There’s lots of room on mom’s lap…
As I’ve mentioned in a previous blog, I’ve been reading the No-Cry Sleep Solution by Elizabeth Pantley. Basically, it’s a book for building a plan to help your baby sleep longer periods at night and learn to go back to sleep. This is done without ever having to use the “cry it out” method. I [...]
To steal a quote from Winnie the Pooh! Josh came home from WalMart tonight, after the discussion on Breezy’s blog of WalMart being inherently evil, with a bag full of 5 different kinds of miniature candy bars. He said “they just fell into my basket.” Uh-huh. Did a Personal Trainer happen to fall in there [...]
Gag Me With A…Finger? Okay, so those of you who know my daughter, know she’s only 3 months old. So she really isn’t a bulimic but gosh darnit, the girl won’t stop gagging herself. She doesn’t understand cause and effect yet (I mean she IS only 3 months old) so she just can’t seem to [...]
An odd thing happened yesterday. I got the two books that I ordered from Amazon.com, both of which I mentioned in yesterday’s blog- Ellie and The Elven King by Helen A. Rosburg and The No-Cry-Sleep-Solution by Elizabeth Pantley. No, that’s not the odd thing, what’s odd is that one had a dedication that I absolutely [...]
2005- Books read: 3 Yep, I’ve read a grand total of three books this month. Which is actually so impressive to me, I could just about wet myself. Actually, the total should be four, because I revisited Lover’s Talisman, but I figured I should really only be counting new books since they are “harder” to [...]
There is nothing worse than writing a bio. And writing one for your blog sidebar? Blech. Maybe you landed here via Google, followed me from Twitter (does that make you a stalker?) or maybe we met at a conference or you clicked a link from a comment I made at a blog you visited. Hopefully whatever I said didn't make you so mad you came looking for a picture to throw darts at (yep, that's me up above, in my favorite cowboy hat) but instead drove you to find out more about the amazingly witty and intelligent person behind the amazingly witty and intelligent comment.
However you found me, who you found is Angela James, executive editor of Carina Press, Harlequin's new digital-first press. I'm passionate about digital publishing, my mission is to drag people to the digital dark side, one reader (and author) at a time. I'm also Brianna's mommy. At my blog you'll get an odd mix of personal and professional posts about parenting, publishing, books, cooking, sewing and life in general. Come back often, comment frequently and go green—buy ebooks!
Please note that this is my personal blog and my opinions are neither that of Harlequin, nor representative of their opinions.
