To say that we made it home safely last night around 9pm. Got the truck unloaded and fell into bed. Then hit the ground running this morning because I’m leaving bright and early tomorrow morning for the WRW retreat and then straight to Orlando for Romantic Times 2009. I can’t promise much blogging, like normal [...]

TOC Beat? Kat Meyer produced this mock magazine cover about the Tools of Change conference. I’m particularly tickled to be shown there along with Sarah of the Smart Bitches and Kassia of Booksquare. It made me laugh. Good show, Kat! TOC Beat

I don’t have the energy to do my Day 3 update. I’m not even sure I even remember what happened yesterday (okay really I do, but dang I’m tired). I am just completely wiped from an endless whirl of panels, keynotes and lunch/dinners with so many fascinating people. I even just turned down a tempting [...]

Comments Off

Since I spent the majority of the day with Sarah of SmartBitches, you can see some of our day’s experiences at her blog, complete with video of me doing an interpretive dance of a new reader (utter fail) we saw demo’d.

Is I hate packing. It’s worse this trip because I totally unpacked all my bags and electronics for the winter and so had to repack everything. Usually I keep my carry-on mostly packed, along with my toiletry bag. Since this is my first trip of the year/conference season, I was starting from scratch. Blech. Add [...]

I mentioned here before that I’m going to be in New York City in February giving a workshop at the Tools of Change conference. In preparation for our workshop, Kassia Krozser of Booksquare has put together a survey about women and ebooks. So, if you’re a woman and you read ebooks, please take a minute [...]

We arrived in Melbourne yesterday, early afternoon. Sadly, the weather is much like Auckland was: cold and rainy. I can’t understand why my iPhone insisted on telling me the weather was going to be in the eighties. Damn Apple. Yesterday we walked around downtown Melbourne and Melbourne Central and did some shopping. Not too much [...]

We made it! We actually made it yesterday, arrived in New Zealand at around 5am local time yesterday after around 24 hours of traveling for me (or maybe more, I lost track of time at one point). The travel was…good and bad. The beginning of my travel day wasn’t so great but definitely improved with [...]

Sherrilyn Kenyon’s travel schedule for the next month, I take back any complaints I had about mine. Holy Moses! However, as coincidence has it, she’s having her launch party in Nashville the same night I’ll be there. I’m so going, just to say I did! And, you know, though I haven’t read her books in [...]

Via the Whispernet on my new Kindle. And then was immediately bitter when I realized I’d never be able to read it on anything but a Kindle. Though Amazon makes it very easy to purchase, which I’m sure is seductive. And sheer brilliance in offering the beginning of the book free to hook the reader [...]

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).
