So I got this IM today…

And it said “omg, Angie, I just got offered a contract with Berkley Heat.”

To which I immediately replied, “omg, omg, omg that’s so awesome. Yay yayy!” with lots of exclamation marks (which means you know that I thought it was awesome because anyone who reads this blog knows that you’ll die once you use up your allotment).

And I’ve been kind of squeeing and grinning about this news all day, hoping I wouldn’t have to keep it to myself for long. And thank God I don’t so…

Huge congratulations to Lauren Dane on her first solo New York contract. Very well deserved! I’m thrilled/excited/proud for you! (and alternately a little disgusted with you for ever thinking you should give up. Twit.). I can’t wait to read your New York books. Congratulations!!

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).
