Car seat covers for Christmas. Josh and I have been car shopping since last February (the first time his car broke down). We were a single car family for about three weeks, which was a lot of fun, let me tell you, since he works 40 miles from home. We shopped around for cars, but [...]

Thanks to everyone who entered. I got some great ideas for future posts for both here on my own blog, and future RtB posts. As it turns out, I think I’m not actually going to use any of your suggestions this time because while I was editing yesterday, I thought of one of my own [...]

I just got an email from ToysRUs, some of their stores, (including the one in my town) are going to be open until ONE IN THE FREAKIN’ MORNING tonight and tomorrow night. And 8pm on Christmas Eve. One? Omg, their poor associates. I hope they get double pay for that. That’s just crazy talk, people. [...]

I have to blog at Romancing the Blog the day after Christmas. Since I don’t intend to be writing the post on Christmas, I need to write it and get it up in the next two days. But I don’t have a topic! Ack! So help me out and suggest a topic you’d like to [...]

I know some of you have asked for subscribe to comments back, and trust me, I want it there. But for whatever reason I can’t use it with this new WordPress upgrade. It breaks my Dashboard. The bizarre thing is that I did the exact same install on Jaci’s blog and it all works fine. [...]

You suck. Bring back end zone celebrations. You’ve sucked all the color and fun out of the game, I swear. Remember when Johnson doing the funky chiken was cool? And the Dirty Bird (I liked the Dirty Bird) Or the River Dance by Chad Johnson? Seriously, you get a touchdown, you celebrate. Those grown men [...]

Maybe you noticed (or not) that my library thing widget hasn’t been reflecting new books I’ve been reading. That’s because Library Thing only has print books and I’ve been reading ebooks, specifically Samhain ebooks. Here’s what I’ve read in the past week: Collision Course by K.A. Mitchell Immovable object? Meet the irresistible force. Paramedic Aaron [...]

Then you want to win this prize. And such is my depth of appreciation for you, my readers, that I’m sending you there even though it means less odds of winning myself. Do you feel the love? The holiday spirit? The depths of giving here at Nice Mommy ~ Evil Editor? Yeah, I thought so. [...]

Brianna came out of the dining room carrying a framed picture of her first Christmas picture with Santa (she was about 2 months old in the picture). I looked at it and yelled to Josh, “Is that the same Santa–I mean, LOOK, it’s the same Santa…” Way to go, Mommy.

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).
