I’ll be doing Raven Radio tonight with Mandy Roth and Michelle Pillow. Hopefully someone out there has something they want to ask me, because otherwise I’m going to spend a half hour telling cute Brianna stories. I have lots. Samhain Publishing’s lovely and talented Executive Editor Angela James will be joining us on Raven Radio [...]

It’s only 23 seconds long. I dare you to watch it without going “awwww”. They made these for Father’s Day at daycare. Click on the blue one and read Brianna’s answers to the fill in the blank. They’re fun. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandfathers, and father figures out there reading my blog [...]

I’ve always known that my husband loves me, but he proved it yesterday when I brought home this chair, which I love a ridiculous amount. He thinks it’s hideously ugly, from the fabric and color, to the actual shape and construction of the chair (all the things I love about it). In other words, he [...]

United Airlines and US Airways announced today that they’re joining American Airlines in charging passengers for the first bag. And, to make things even better? US Airways is going to charge for non-alcoholic drinks as well (soda, juice, water). In other words, pack as much as you can in a carry-on, and be prepared to [...]

Today I was in Walmart (because I had some time to kill while waiting for my prescriptions) and had a thoroughly disenchanting experience. It made me dislike people just a little bit. Okay, I’ll admit, I have days anyway where I already dislike people, this just made me dislike people even more. I was standing [...]

I ended up without internet connection at the Lori Foster event because my laptop somehow stopped recognizing any drivers (including the wireless connection) so I wasn’t able to log on. I got home Sunday night and Monday I was pretty beat. Being sick at a conference is extremely draining, and I didn’t sleep well, so [...]

For the past 5 months, I’ve been searching for the “perfect” pattern for a backsack/backpack. I thought I’d found one back in February, but when I made it, I found the pattern itself was flawed–I thought I’d done something wrong, so I made it again and realized it was just a poorly designed backpack that [...]

Like, for instance, that one of the potential side effects of penicillin is a black, hairy tongue*. Guh, what? I know this because I have a wonderful new prescription of penicillin to help combat the fantabulous case of strep I apparently contracted–the day before I’m supposed to leave for the Lori Foster event. Some of [...]

I want to hire someone to update my template slightly. Not a redesign, just a few fixes to the existing template (like getting rid of that annoying black box that shows up when you hover over a picture) that I don’t have time to suss out on my own, to add a gravitar and to [...]

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).
