I know I’ve been quiet here on the blog the past month, but there’s no way I wasn’t going to post a little something for Brianna’s birthday. It’s blog tradition. Some of you have been around here long enough to know that on her first birthday, I started the tradition of writing her a letter [...]

Let’s do a lightning round of things I’ve been meaning to post about the past week: In the past two weeks I’ve been in New York City, had my parents visit, been to Toronto and the Harlequin offices and been laid out by a cold. I think my body is formally protesting. Have you visited [...]

My friend Melissa has a photography business. She takes the most amazing pictures, mostly children. She’s holding a contest for her best image of 2007. Now, you know I’ve already seen a few of the mommies begging votes on their blogs (that’s okay, I’d do the same!) but I thought I’d make it interesting and [...]

I was working on an editing related post today, but I got derailed from that by the news that my aunt and uncle from Arizona were in the area and wanted to meet up. Now, I don’t know about the rest of you, but my house isn’t “drop in ready”, though I wouldn’t term it [...]

So go ahead and excercise it. Meanwhile, I’ll be over here breastfeeding my child. Warning: Rant ahead. If you think breastfeeding is disgusting, now’s the time to keep on surfing right past my blog.

Carry on if you don’t have young children, like…under 10 or if you dislike depressing topics. I’ve been involved in several carseat safety conversations lately. Mostly, I think carseats are so important for the same reason that I dislike motorcycles–not because of my own driving but because of all the other nutjobs, people not paying [...]

Like Mean Mommy~Bitch Editor because I’m just pissing in everyone’s cornflakes this week. :fire: Today, it was my daughter’s (figuratively speaking of course). Anyone who’s been to my house knows there are an overabundance of toys downstairs. Brianna has the sunroom, which is her very own room basically, to store books and a toybox. Then [...]

Dear Brianna, Today is my 31st birthday. In years past, even last year, birthdays haven’t really bothered me, but this year, as I watch you grow and send you off to your mima and poppy’s for the weekend, it hit me how much I want to see you grow. Maybe it’s selfish, but I want [...]

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).
