Um, yeah, I’ve been up since 4:30. I’ve done some of the line edits on my plate today, visited all the blogs, caught up on all the loops, and have been, for reasons not worth exmining, been reading the online Scarlet Pimpernel off of Bibliomania.
Please ignore the rambling. Scroll down to the next post [...]

Paperbacks!
With no further ado, I give you the new cover concepts for the Secret Society Girl series.
Please note the Rose & Grave pins on the Amys’ shirts. That’s all me. I had this pin designed, I had it made, and I’ve been using them as promo prizes since the hardcover came out. I’m so pleased [...]

Shocking Lessons
Like many writers, I’ve been glued to the latest incarnation of Romantic Times and Dorchester Publishing’s American Title. The latest round of eliminations centers around descriptions of the hero and heroine. Though there are usually a few howlers in the judges’ comments, I’ve found the latest entries to be particularly enlightening (read: frustrating). Every aspiring [...]

(not) Lazy Sunday
I’ve got a lot on my plate today. A bunch of line edits for Under the Rose (due next week) and more work to go on my W.I.P. (I’ve almost used up all my advance capital from last week. According to my chart, I’ve enough word count to last me until Wednesday.)
Last night I went [...]

Saturday
I’m off to a potluck and Xmas ornament painting party today. I know, it sounds a little bizarre, but it’s actually a blast. I was just saying to Sailor Boy the other day how rarely I do visual art of any kind (mostly because I’m pretty rotten at it) but I’ve always like coloring, and [...]

Thirteen Things I Love About My Job
1. I get to make up stuff all day long.2. Lying on the couch with my eyes shut is, arguably, “working.”3. If the people I am working with (read: characters) piss me off, I can kill them.4. At parties, when people ask you what you do, it’s so much [...]

Less than productive
No new pages to report today. No new translations contracted for SSG. Ah, well. If such happened every day, when would I get time to goof off and, say, watch election returns?
My favorite part was the humorous juxtaposition of the ticker-tape announcement of Britney Spears’s impending divorce alongside world news. She sure knows how to [...]

O, What a Beautiful Mor-ning (updated)
Actually, it’s a bit crappy, if you want to know the truth. Cold and drizzly. But I haven’t been so excited to start a day in a long time. I woke up before my alarm this morning.
First of all, I’m waiting to hear back from my agent about whether or not I can post some [...]
