Thinking about my husband

Sometimes there comes along a song that I hear, and it makes me think of my husband. And I smile. Right now, there are two songs on the radio that do that for me.

The first one is especially poignant for me because my mom passed away when I was 17, so she never met Josh. But I know she’d have liked him. This song is so him.

And this one, well… Josh is my best friend. This week we have the week to ourselves while Brianna stays with my in-laws. And it is always an incredible amount of fun to spend time with just the two of us. Because we really do like and enjoy each other. I adore that about him, about us. So there’s no way this song could not remind me of him.

(as a side note, this video cracks me up. And also? Jennifer Nettles is too adorable for words. It’s just not fair!)

Almost everything is boinga here…

Brianna ~ 1:58 pm 8 Comments

I’ve been talking about boinga today on Twitter. It’s my new Zen word. Boinga! If you don’t have small children, it’s unlikely you know what Boinga is, so I’ll share… The female voice is Alica Keys. Boinga! (sorry for the earworm. But not really)

London Bridge

Ear worm alert! I’m sure many of you remember this Fergie song, London Bridge, since they played it every five minutes on the radio when it first released. But what you might not have heard is the rock version done by Bowling for Soup. Oh man, LOVE it! I don’t think my husband expected me [...]

You’re a mom

A few months ago there was a discussion about children’s songs on my mom’s group. I was in Australia and not really in a position to watch/listen to a lot of the songs but I remembered clicking on this one and thinking it might be fun. So I asked about it again this week so [...]

I blame my husband

Other book stuff ~ 12:22 pm 10 Comments

He made me watch this video the other night and now I can’t get this song out of my head I have to admit, the song is really catchy, and they sounded amazing doing it acoustic, which is kind of impressive, since some musicians require the polish that the studio gives. Not these guys. And [...]

“Your Library”

Brianna, Disney ~ 11:18 am 3 Comments

Freakin’ Disney. I bought Brianna this Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cd at Amazon (actually I bought the MP3 version for instant gratification) and one of the songs on that cd is now permanently embedded in my brain. “Your Library” by Ludwig Von Drake. Click on the song title to hear a sample (it’s really a catchy [...]

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).
