Maili told me to…

2 Comments

So I did. Maili gave instructions for book hopping on her blog. I’m such a follower (not really, but I can pretend) so I’m going to do it. Directions: 1. Take first five novels from your bookshelf. 2. Book 1 — first sentence 3. Book 2 — last sentence on page 50 4. Book 3 [...]

If you have disdain for what you do, but are getting paid to do it, should you tell the world how you feel or should you keep your feelings to yourself? Here’s an example: Before I had Brianna, I worked as an Occupational Therapist with adults with mental illness. First in the community and then [...]

Conversations with myself

4 Comments

Do you ever read something and reply in your head? I do this all the time, especially with my email. And then I get emails saying, did you get my email? Why didn’t you write back. And honestly, I thought I did. I formulated the whole reply, it just never made it to the keyboard. [...]

I’ve been out spring shopping these past few weeks. I hadn’t actually bought any new clothes since before the baby was born, so I was long overdue to add to my wardrobe. There I was, shopping in New York & Company, a store I really like because they sell trendy clothes that don’t look like [...]

So last night I finished A Stroke of Midnight by Laurell K. Hamilton. And I have this opinion (ha! I always have an opinion). But before I share my (main) opinion with you, I’m going to warn you now that there will probably be spoilers in this post. I’ll try not to do major ones, [...]

My new found irritation…

10 Comments

Not being able to leave a comment on someone’s blog. Both Shannon and Kate have mentioned this in the past week. That they couldn’t leave a comment so they had to come back to their own blog to do it. And you know what, damnit, I agree! Half the fun of blogs are reading the [...]

About Me


Angela James

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.

 

Find Me Here

First, I blog once or twice a week at theCarina Press blog, talking about the job, the authors, the books and other things Carina Press. And, of course, you can always find me on Twitter. Or Facebook, if you prefer (mostly the same content, one feeds the other). I also run the Carina Press Twitter and Facebook accounts. Social media, it's where it's at (well, it's where I'm at, anyway).
