Nice Mommy~Evil Editor

Today and tomorrow Samhain Publishing, myself and ten authors are being featured on RomanceNovelTV.com I was fortunate to do a video interview with the fabulous Marisa last October while at NJRW, and part of that is up now, so wander over, check out my interview, my blog post and those of the authors in the [...]

Confession: I’m completely exhausted and only the thought of failing out only the second week of the Friday Confessional kept me doing it. Brianna has the flu and was up all night last night throwing up. After the second time (and second bedding change) I slept with her, nearly got barfed on the third time [...]

Okay, not really. I was actually talking to Sarah and Jane for their third “Smart Authors, Dear Bitches” podcast. We talk about digital publishing and Samhain, tips for aspiring authors, as well as what we’re looking for in submissions. It’s a short podcast, just 15 minutes long, so check it out!
