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 [...]

Or something equally silly? I’ve promised to choreograph, video and upload a ridiculous victory dance if I get first place in the DABWAHA brackets. I’m in first now but am about to be knocked out with these next rounds. Before 6pm I need you to vote for Hunger Games! After 6pm I need you to [...]

Okay, I have no shame…

I’m going to beg for votes. But in this case, it’s okay because voting isn’t necessarily about having read the books. So I don’t feel bad. Much. I’ll move on from that though If you’re not following the Dear Author/Smart Bitches DABWAHA book “tournament” you must go follow the voting. And while you’re there, if [...]

Sorry I’ve been silent for a few days. There’s some stuff going on here, but I’ll get to that later in the post. First, let’s close the contest. Thanks to everyone who suggested songs for my workout playlist. There were a lot of songs I never would have thought of and am going to add [...]

We got back from Las Vegas late last night. 13.5 hours from hotel to my driveway. We were…exhausted. Unfortunately, there’s no rest for the wicked. My FIL is due to pull up at any minute. He’s on his way north and so he’s going to spend the night here…oh, and he’s dropping my daughter off. [...]

It was fun to read how long many of you had been reading, and why you come back. Thanks for all the kind things you said, it made me smile. Random.org picked comment #57 as the winner: MarnieColette Says: January 20th, 2009 at 12:56 pm e I found you sometime in September, truthfully I can’t [...]

It’s my blog birthday today! I realized last week, when I was doing some cleanup, that my blog is three four years old. I didn’t know a lot of people who had blogs when I started, though a lot of them popped up right around the same time as mine. I also didn’t know why [...]

You might think I’d forgotten, but I didn’t. I said I’d name a winner for the license plate contest sometime after Christmas so here we are… I really enjoyed reading the suggestions. I have to admit that my favorite was actually Shannon Stacey’s of KDNTRNK (Kid in trunk) since it’s a two seater and there’s [...]

Car seat covers for Christmas. Josh and I have been car shopping since last February (the first time his car broke down). We were a single car family for about three weeks, which was a lot of fun, let me tell you, since he works 40 miles from home. We shopped around for cars, but [...]

Thanks to everyone who entered. I got some great ideas for future posts for both here on my own blog, and future RtB posts. As it turns out, I think I’m not actually going to use any of your suggestions this time because while I was editing yesterday, I thought of one of my own [...]

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).

  • Week 2 CSA share: strawberries, sugar snap peas, lettuce, arugula, turnips, rainbow chard, bok choy & garlic scapes. Yum! ~ 2 hours ago
  • I try not to get too into politics or religion on Twitter, but this particular situation hit every hot button for me (and I'm Catholic!) ~ 3 hours ago
