This is the second theme I’m considering. Keep in mind that I fiddled the first theme throughout the day yesterday, so it ended up with my header and with some of the “issues” of it fixed. This theme is even cleaner and more plain than the theme of yesterday. The colors are cooler, not quite [...]

I upgraded my version of WordPress today to 2.7. The new back end functionality is pretty slick. I did find that some of the plugins I was using actually broke the Dashboard, so I’ve had to disable them for now, though I think mostly only I will notice. I’ve also been playing with the idea [...]

Right now, the odds on winning the second Kindle are better than winning the first. We’ve had a lot more entries for the first Kindle, for whatever reason. Despite the emails I’ve gotten from people saying they couldn’t find an icon (and just about every author has been named, so it seems different people have [...]

Hm. That sounded vaguely naughty. But it’s really not! Maybe your loved ones were looking for that perfect holiday gift for you and you just couldn’t think what you might want.

I’m back from NJRW. We got home late last night, but it was a fun weekend and I was glad to have Josh with me this weekend. It makes it easier to travel when I’m not always away from my family. I got to have dinner with some Samhain authors, which I always love because [...]

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).
