Nice Mommy~Evil Editor

I couldn’t attend BEA this year, but I was able to follow along thanks to the #BEA09 Twitter feed. It’s actually kind of interesting to follow along this way because you get a sense of the overall picture from a number of people, rather than just one person’s limited observations. Here’s what I got from [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

This is my brain on politics. I know you guys are used to some radio silence from me, but I’ve been having a hard time coming up with blog topics that aren’t politically related. For real, I’m consumed by this election, reading political blogs, Twittering politics and generally driving my husband insane with the latest [...]

Is that I love it. And I’ll spend all day Twittering any interesting thoughts that might cross my head (there aren’t that many. I’m blonde) so I have nothing I really want to blog about these days. I enjoy Twitter because the real time conversations with people I often wouldn’t normally interact with are fun. [...]

I’m blogging over at Romancing the Blog today. I probably should have posted this earlier, but I’ve been trying to answer emails (also, I took my Twitter friends shopping with me to Walmart this morning. That was fun. And I also had to watch Act II of Dr. Horrible. Twice. There are some laugh out [...]

I’m feeling very angry-blogger today, and a little bitter about some things I’m noticing (like how people only want to talk about epublishing when it involves bad author/publisher behavior and drama. I know, it’s more fun that way) so instead of going off on a really ugly rant about that, I’m going to talk about [...]
