But you’ve heard it’s all about the sex? Let me be perfectly honest for a moment. Some of it is. I’ve read a few books recently that provide the naysayers with the impetus for their scorn. Some of the worst purple prose, poor editing, inane plots, and sex, sex, sex. Blech. Maybe one of them [...]

well…maybe not But how about 15 blogs in 15 days instead? I was reading on some blog a few weeks ago about someone who did the 30 blogs in 30 days challenge on her blog. Visiting a new to her blog every day. I was at the Dashboard of this blog a few minutes ago, [...]

Thanks so much to those who left comments for me about my funk. There is something solitary and stressful about being a stay-at-home parent. There are no water cooler conversations, no lunch breaks or vacation days. It’s a full-time job. And full time doesn’t mean 40 hour work weeks but on call 24/7. Pretty awesome [...]

I feel flat…

6 Comments

Do you ever have this feeling? Like you’ve expended so much energy on stressing about certain things going on around you, that you’re just flat? Nothing left to give? That’s me today. I’ve been running around (literally and figuratively) checking items off my to-do list, putting out fires, and stressing about things that have hurt [...]

Amazing photo essay…

Comments Off

Thanks to Alex of Deviated Path for the link to this truly amazing photo essay. An insider’s perspective of the Hurricane devestation from start to finish, it shows things a bit differently than you can find through the media. Despite the wreckage and horror, the amateur photographer, Alvaro R. Morales Villa, seems to keep a [...]

The Midas Trap by Sharon McClellan is another Bombshell (yes, I like these books. The only categories I read) and was a fun, easy read. It’s not great literature by any means and it was probably one of the most action packed books I’ve read in a while (which is saying a lot in light [...]

As promised, the continuation from my earlier post: I am going to respectfully disagree with Paperback Writer. Shocking, I know (This is where I should probably mention that I do have enormous respect for her and like her blog quite a bit) On her blog yesterday, she mentioned ten rules for bloggers in the aftermath [...]

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).
