Last week, the day before I left for the Desert Dreams conference, I got a rather unexpected phone call. It was a long-time friend, who I hadn’t heard from in almost a year. He was calling to chat, to catch up…and to see if I was interested in a job. Once, years ago, he and [...]

I am not really trying

To go a whole week without posting, but I’ve been slam busy. I answered something like 150 emails today. That’s all I did all day. Answer emails. I now have only 2 emails flagged that I need to look at. I’m logging off the computer before that number goes up.

Bad blogger, I know. I might have mentioned this already, but just after Christmas (right after we sent Brianna to my in-laws, of course) I got sick. I was pretty sick for about four days which not only ruined any plans Josh and I had for our alone time that week (and we had a [...]

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 [...]

My inbox. Josh had five days off. Somehow, we managed to spend a lot of those doing stuff. I’m not sure what. Just stuff. I didn’t answer a lot of email, though. He’s back at work today, Brianna is in New York with my in-laws until Tuesday and I’m wondering if I’ll ever get caught [...]

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).
