If you’ve been visiting this blog for any length of time, you know that I get bored with my blog look every four or five months and have to move on. I had a friend who used to always be painting a room in her house. She liked to change her environment so no room [...]

Book of Daniel…dammit.

9 Comments

I blogged a few weeks ago about the pilot episode of The Book of Daniel and how much I’ve been enjoying the show. Everyone I know who’s watched has enjoyed it. Well, after only three episodes it’s been cancelled. You can see the full story here. Laurie of Laurie Likes Books wrote an excellent blog [...]

The Book Collector

11 Comments

I blogged a couple weeks ago about a Book Collector program that Mandy told me about. I was whining about how time consuming it was to put each book in by hand but that barcode scanners were too expensive. But I did end up getting one off ebay for $15. Even though it said it [...]

Last night, I made cinammon baked apples, with brown sugar and butter. Josh went out to buy vanilla ice cream to have with them and came home with a chocolate/vanilla mix (all the store had). Here’s my friendly word of advice for you all…do not EVER mix chocolate ice cream–not even just a little bit–with [...]

Last night Josh and I went to the movies for the first time since I was pregnant with Brianna…over a year and a half ago. I think the last movie we saw in the theater was Spiderman 2 (and sadly, not only was it not my choice, I didn’t like it, either). But our city [...]

Title: In the Groove Author: Pamela Britton Year published: February 2006 Why did you get this book? Actually, I bought it for Alyssa. I owed her some books and this was one of three I picked up for her. But since I’m a Nascar fan I decided to read it before passing it on (don’t [...]

Title: Home Again Author: Kristin Hannah (I love names that are the same frontwards and backwards…I just noticed that about her last name and thought I’d share LOL) Year published: 1996 I bought it at a garage sale last summer I think. Did you like the cover?: It’s alright. Not terribly exciting, but not ick [...]

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).
