I didn’t post this yesterday, but I took our older cat, Trish, to the vet for shots and a well check. While there, she got a Feline Leukemia test, and it came back positive. They ran it twice, and the vet said it was a mild return, but still positive. This, he thought, in addition [...]

The dogs only manage to catch (and of course kill) birds when the man of the house isn’t here to dispose of them for me? Whyyyyyy? After all, this is one of the many reasons I’m married.

You can have five little girls playing in a play area, co-existing relatively peacefully and not too obnoxiously, but you add one little boy and it suddenly sounds like WWIII has broken out? I think God knew what he was doing when he gave me a little girl, even though I begged for a boy. [...]

I was asked about doing a feature on my upcoming fantasy/urban fantasy releases. Hell yeah! I’d love to. But you know what? I have nothing upcoming on my schedule, they’ve all released this past spring and I haven’t had any amazing and fabulous submissions in the fantasy/urban fantasy genre recently. I’m having a good pout [...]

Brenda Novak’s auction for diabetes ends on the 31st (some things end today, some tomorrow, though). You can still bid on me here. I’m going for the bargain price of $300 right now! There are still a lot of stunning things you can bid on and win, so go browse before it’s too late!

That’s my three year old. Lately, getting her dressed in the morning has become a TON of fun *sarcasm*. She has more clothes than one child could possibly ever wear, thanks to my MIL, and to my complete inability to pass by a cute outfit in the store. But seriously, we have summer clothes that [...]

Not just good news for me, but also for all those people who wait days for me to answer emails and get to things because I get backlogged, I’ve hired an assistant. She starts on June 15th. Actually, it’s someone very familiar with Samhain so training will be easy, thank you, God. She’s going to [...]

Hey! Guess what?

Today was my day to post on Romancing the Blog and, uh, I was late. I started writing my post on Saturday in the hotel, but figured I could finish it last night and get it posted. But I spent yesterday with Brianna and Josh and never really logged on to my calendar, my computer [...]

Things I learned today…

Don’t count my chickens… After Josh and Brianna picked me up at the airport (and Brianna was very, very happy to see me) we went to the Annapolis mall, where I was SURE the Lush store would be open, since they had been working on it when I was there mid-April. I was really looking [...]

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).
