So this is kind of cool. I’m using a new blog editor called Windows Live Writer. It’s desktop based, so you don’t have to be in the back end of your blog to type the post. It makes inserting pictures, videos and other rich content a whole hell of a lot easier than I was [...]

I want to hire someone to update my template slightly. Not a redesign, just a few fixes to the existing template (like getting rid of that annoying black box that shows up when you hover over a picture) that I don’t have time to suss out on my own, to add a gravitar and to [...]

While everyone else has been discussing the serious issue of Amazon and POD, I’ve been over on my playgroup board discussing this article about a woman who was allegedly forced to remover her nipple rings before being allowed through airport security*, and have been obsessively watching the Woot Off for a Scooba and Random Bags [...]

New WordPress plugin

I installed a new plugin today (on my blog and Jaci Burton’s blog), that I think is kind of cool. I saw it on some random blogs I was reading, so I went searching for it. It’s called CommentLuv and when you fill in your info and post a comment, it tries to pull the [...]

I wanted to share a post tonight about something I made for Brianna this weekend, but I can’t use the “Image Browser” on my WordPress. I don’t think I’ve tried to use it since I updated, so clearly I did something WRONG. I get a message that says the URL can’t be found. Dammit.

Last week in a post I mentioned that there were some changes in the works that I couldn’t discuss. It was announced today on our Samhain business loop and also on Dear Author. You can read the full text there, but in short, when Samhain re-opens to submissions next month, we will be refocusing our [...]

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).
