Nice Mommy~Evil Editor

That’s me! Today anyway. I’m not blogging here but I blogged at THREE other places today. At author Lauren Dane’s blog for her Writerly Wednesday post, I blogged about finding time (to write, edit, promote or do whatever it is we want to do). At Whipped Out, I wrote about my Thanksgiving menu and shared [...]

I wanted to take a moment and post a thanks to everyone who has taken the time over the past week to pass on their well wishes and enthusiasm, both here and on Twitter, other blogs and forums. I am so appreciative of all the things you’ve said and all the encouragement that you’ve given [...]

You know when you sit and try to imagine what life will be like or what you’ll be doing in one, two, five years and even your most wild imaginings don’t quite get it right? That’s where I’m at right now. Last spring I was approached by someone I admire tremendously and have always held [...]

(Edited to add: This is a guest post written by Shannon Stacey) You’ve seen the view from the Executive Editor of Samhain’s side of the desk here, but I thought today I’d give you a glimpse of the view from the other side. What’s it like, as an author, to go through the editing process? [...]

Since I’m no longer with Samhain, I’ve deleted this call. If you want to submit an angel or demon story to me, I’d love to see them, any length, any heat level. It broke my heart to leave this anthology behind. You can send them to me at Quartet Press: submissions@quartetpress.com

I had pre-posted a blog over on the Samhain blog but am just now getting a chance to log in and post about it here. If you’re interested in knowing what genres sell well and which aren’t quite as popular, head over and give it a read. For those following along, I’m currently in the [...]

I was interviewed by Nikki from Hooked on Romance today. While I am still traveling (I’m at my destination, but busy with family stuff), I’m going to pop in over there a few times to answer questions. There’s also a chance to win some free ebooks!

I’ve been wanting to write this post for awhile because, in the last month, my number of Twitter followers has tripled. It’s kind of weird and a little…puzzling because I’m fairly certain I’m 1) not that interesting and 2) more than a little inane. Maybe most of them are Twitter spammers. I did theorize that [...]

As announced on Twitter this morning, I’m super excited to tell you that Samhain is going to start offering our front and backlist in DRM-free EPUB format starting in May. We’ve got a good jump on this, we just need to give our over-worked formatter time to get it all together. Many of you know [...]

ETA: The first thing to say is that a pitch isn’t necessarily about selling your book to an agent/editor. Time to move out of that mindset! Read on… Here’s another one to file under conversations from Twitter. This came up this past weekend in a conversation about Blood and Chocolate by Annette Kurtis Clause. It’s [...]
