I don’t know much about Tor, but there seem to be a few publishing opportunities at the publisher if you’re looking for a home for your book. Go here to check it out.
And, in light of the books the editor is looking for, when was the last time you saw a Hanukkah book? [...]

Another one…
Marian Keyes - yep, never read her. I know, I know. It’s a violation of all things chick lit not to have read her. Let’s just say I’m behind. She moves on and off my radar screen. Right now she’s more “on” at this moment thanks to this article [...]

I’ve actually been away for a few days. Took off to California for some family visiting. Hung out with Wendy. Met Kassia and managed to make her late for an appointment (’tho it is now clear she drives really, really fast). All in all, I had a lovely time. [...]

One of the daily Washington Post editions last week had an article about people who horde books. Yeah, the writer used a nicer title. Something about bibliomaniacs. Sounds kind of pathological. The quote goes:
Washington, with its affluent and educated populace, is a natural habitat for bibliomaniacs, defined by the late [...]

On March 26, 2005, I wrote my first blog. Except for a few comments on the CBS movie Spring Break Shark Attack - let’s just say it wasn’t Jaws - the subject was…well, me. Annoying, I know. Be happy I don’t talk only about me every single day. I toy [...]

The book is Steamed by Jessica Conant-Park and Susan Conant.

This one caught my attention when I was reading through RT. The “why” goes like this:
1. Thought the cover was cute. I’m a sucker for those things.
2. It got 4 1/2 Stars at RT.
3. There’s a romance, [...]

No offense to Renee Zellweger…
Books about writers appear to be somewhat “in” at the moment whether or not the actress wears a fake nose…
I know Finding Neverland did well…
But, I find this Zellweger as Beatrix Potter thing odd. Don’t know why, but I do. Here is gist of the [...]

Writers are brilliant creatures. Some create from scratch. Some - the really smart ones - come up with the idea to write a book by using something other people have written. No, I’m not talking about Dan Brown…
I’m talking about the new release The Dead Beat by Marilyn Johnson. This [...]

My mindless chatter can be found at Access Romance’s All A-Blog today.
For those too lazy to click on the link - you know who you are - I offer two book sales from Publishers Marketplace. First, a wonderful multi-book deal for a debut author by an agency that seems to make impressive deals every [...]
