Sometimes a clever idea comes along…

Comments Off

That I wish I’d thought of. This is one of them. Dear Author.com A new reader review blog, done anonymously (although we can speculate on who it is. You start), in which Jayne and Jane write their reviews in the form of a letter to the author. I think the idea is brilliant and I’m [...]

Techno-dummy…

Comments Off

I figure someone out there can help me out. I registered my domain name (actually, I registered two domain names *grin*) because it was dirt cheap to do it for the year. But now I’m not really sure what I can do with them, if anything. Can I use the domain name as the blog [...]

Who am I?

Comments Off

Who am I? I get this mental picture of Anthony Michael Hall in Breakfast Club, repeating that question to himself as he contemplates the essay they’re supposed to write in detention. Any child of the eighties will be able to conjure the image immediately. I’m going through a bit of an existential blog crisis. Who [...]

I had a relaxing weekend

Comments Off

I had a tough editing week last week. By Friday, I was pretty well drained and burnt out. So I took most of the weekend away from my computer. I didn’t answer email, turn on my IM, or open a manuscript. I needed time off. Not to mention that I wanted to just spend the [...]

Brianna gave me a bug. But first she had to take it out of her mouth.

Do you know what today is?

Comments Off

It’s the first day of April and that means the March TBR challenge ended yesterday. Holy crap! I’ve been a bad challenge host this month. And a bad blogger. March was a busy month for me and I didn’t get to do a lot of “fun” things. Not much reading, tv or blogging. I need [...]

Suddenly, I don’t feel so bad…

Comments Off

A few weeks back I wrote about the sting of getting back final line edits and how horrible I felt seeing all the things I’d missed. Truly, that sting is still there, but I saw something yesterday that made me feel just a bit better about that. Brianna is just discovering a love of books. [...]

Catching up

Comments Off

So I know I’ve been pretty well sucking in the blogging department the past few weeks, but to say I haven’t had the mental energy for it is such a huge understatement. I found that my t0-do list was getting quite long and getting away from me so I needed to take some time and [...]

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).
