Peachfuz reviewed Evolution’s Embers for the ebook buzz review. She apparently enjoyed the book (though that wasn’t required in the rules, lol). Thanks for the review P. For future reviewers, yes, even if your review isn’t glowing, it will get posted here. I’m all about the honesty

The other week, I was having a “moment” as I called it and bemoaning my status as a stay-at-home mom work-at-home mom when Josh was off racing and I was craving food from a regular restaurant. Now, I rarely eat out and Brianna and I don’t do fast food but once every couple of weeks. [...]

Wednesday night was Mom’s Night Out. The first in a very long time. I rarely go out, and even more rarely go out without Josh. But this month, my playgroup had Mom’s Night Out. Now, you might ask if I had a good time and my answer would be: Does the fact that I’m posting [...]

I’m curious to know, of 36 people who answered, 21 do read RT. Not a great large number, but I’m wondering if you buy books based on the reviews? Do you just read the reviews to find out what the book is about and when it’s coming out, or do the reviews sway your book [...]

First, let me thank everyone who spread the word about this as well as everyone who expressed interest in participating. I wanted to give each of you a book this time, I didn’t want to have to draw names. I actually pulled three people instead of two, since we had so much interest. Those of [...]

I’m going to do a series of three or four polls about RT Magazine. The first is simply getting an idea of how many of you read it. I’ll be asking questions later about reviews and ads.

Extreme Exposure by Pamela Clare is a book I won from Alison Kent’s blog. A romantic suspense, it was an easy read, with really great sexual tension. What compelled me to keep reading was the characters. Despite it being a romantic suspense, for me this was a character driven book. The suspense angle was okay, [...]

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).
