This is the second recipe I made to use up some of the leftover ham. As it happened, I had half a bag of refrigerator hash browns leftover from this past weekend, so it was a double whammy of using up leftovers. Since I used refrigerated hash browns (Simply Potato hash browns) and not frozen [...]

Every year, Josh’s work gives them either a ham or a turkey for the holiday season. “A” ham actually is two hams. Big-ass hams, like 8 to 10 pounds each. So it’s a lot of ham for three people. I made one this past weekend but…did I mention it’s a lot of ham for three [...]

Cookbook, craft or other non-fiction type of book? I have some Barnes and Noble gift cards to spend, and I really don’t need to buy any more fiction books right now (though I do have a list that I’m eagerly anticipating for 2009 and will share this week). So I’m going to buy a new [...]

That my authors will understand when I say I’m not going to be able to work this week because my hands are cramped and blistered from rocking out on the drums on PS3 Rock Band for the past two days. Um…ow! Who knew being a rock star was so much work? Now, I must go, [...]

Okay, to be honest our nights right now aren’t too cold. It’s been about 60 here the past few days, including Christmas. Sadly, not even close to the white Christmas Brianna was hoping for. Even so, one of my favorite things about winter is the chance to drink hot drinks. I’m not a coffee drinker, [...]

We’ve just had a long day of shopping which resulted in a rather large (planned) purchase so I wasn’t able to post before now, but you’ll recall I ran a contest at the beginning of the week in a desperate call for an RtB topic. As it happens, I ended up coming up with my [...]

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).
