Warning… a little TMI ahead… I have recently decided that I’d like to find the off switch for my brain. I swear, it’s going all the time lately. I can’t seem to turn the flow of thought off. And this is seriously interfering with…err…extracurricular activities. Okay, I won’t be around the bush (ummm…excuse the pun). [...]

Brianna got home around 12:30am Tuesday morning. And since she does not understand the concept of either sleeping in or spending a leisurely morning staring at the ceiling, I got to drag my stretch-marked butt out of bed at 6am. She, of course, has no problem with this since she takes three naps a day [...]

One heartstopping moment…

14 Comments

I’m still out of town at my parents. Been online briefly a few times to check my email and visit a few blogs. But I’ve been largely internet free the past few days, spending my time instead reading. I finished Sunshine by Robin McKinley tonight and will do a brief summary of it when I [...]

I’m outta here!

2 Comments

I’m leaving tomorrow morning to visit my family- dad, step-mom and assorted relatives. I won’t be back until late Monday. And although I’m taking my laptop, they only have dial-up (horrors!!) and I’m not sure how much time I’ll have to get online and blog. Waaahhh… imagine the withdrawal symptoms I’m going to have!! But [...]

Okay, since I gave Sybil and Nicole such a hard time about their Shocking Confession of not having read certain authors which has lead to some interesting blogs across blog-land the past few days, I am going to make my own confessions, along the line of what Tara Marie did on her blog on Monday. [...]

Sybil made an entry on her blog about a library sale she attended. In her entry, she casually mentions picking up a Nora Roberts book, although she has never read Nora Roberts. Later in the comments, Nicole adds that she has never read Nora Roberts or other romance staples such as Linda Howard and Amanda [...]

Is it wrong that I felt a little thrill run through me when I saw a link to my blog had been added to the Smart Bitches sidebar? I think the feeling is the equivalent of being the nerdy, unpopular girl in high school and being invited to sit with the cheerleaders and arrogant, cocky, [...]

If Angels Bury by Lynn Viehl

3 Comments

If Angels Burn by Lynn Viehl I have been a long time lover of paranormal novels and vampire romances in particular. They seem to hold some hidden allure for me that I’ve never analyzed. But I’m also one of those cynical readers who has been feeling as though the vampire market has been… err… sucked [...]

Derik’s Bane by Mary Janice Davidson Let me start by saying that I have thoroughly enjoyed MJD’s Undead series. I’m starting with that because I don’t want anyone thinking I’m a MJD hater. Because I seriously did not like Derik’s Bane. At all. I think the best way to describe how I felt about this [...]

Catching up on book reviews…

Comments Off

I’ve read a few books in the past month that I’ve been wanting to review but never got around to posting. The first two I’ll start with are The Autumn Castle by Kim Wilkins and The Bane Affair by Alison Kent. I read them several weeks ago and had actually written my thoughts down- just [...]

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).
