I couldn’t attend BEA this year, but I was able to follow along thanks to the #BEA09 Twitter feed. It’s actually kind of interesting to follow along this way because you get a sense of the overall picture from a number of people, rather than just one person’s limited observations. Here’s what I got from [...]

Seussian Ode to Pralines I like pralines in the dark, I like pralines in a park. I will eat them on a boat, or even while crossing a moat. I can keep them in my purse, their sugary goodness makes me curse. I will savor them with a book, my “oh yes” face will be [...]

In addition to the regular auction still going for a critique from me, which ends in two days, today only there is a one day auction that includes a critique of a synopsis and first three chapters, as well as lunch with me at RWA for you and a guest, where we can talk about [...]

I’ve only watched the first few minutes, but I do plan on watching it again, to agonize over what [...]

Over at Romancing the Blog today, I share my answer to the question of what the most difficult part of my job is. I’ll bet you won’t guess my answer…and you might be a little surprised at just what I share. Go check it out!

I’m leaving town again. Yes, I did just get back from three weeks of traveling to North Dakota, Virginia and Florida. But I’m still leaving again. Thursday we’re off for a fun trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina where Josh and I are meeting up with some of his longtime friends for a long weekend [...]

Or, better yet, buy my mad skills while donating to a worthy cause AND getting a tax write-off. It’s like…the trifecta of awesomeness. Right? It’s that time of year again, the Brenda Novak Auction, which raises money to benefit diabetes research. This is only my second year doing the auction, but I’ve been bidding in [...]
