A Little Tweaking

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

The cover flats for YOUR MOUTH DRIVES ME CRAZY arrived on my doorstep at the end of last week. The cover truly is gorgeous, even more so in person. The actual one is a bit different from the original. In my view, it’s even prettier. The art department did a [...]

For A Good Cause

More Moore

Sunday, January 28th, 2007

Believe it or not, I have still more selections on my TBR pile. This one is from Christopher Moore. The book is You Suck, where Moore visits characters from his earlier book Bloodsucking Fiends. While I know there is a bit of vampire fatigure going on out there - and, truly, I feel [...]

Friday, January 26th, 2007

Esquire did a little experiment. Even gave it a name - The Napkin Project. It went like this:
It’s an old story, we figured. Someone, in a bar somewhere, scribbling on a napkin in the failing afternoon light; the kind of story or list or note that might be crammed in a pocket and [...]

Cover Me

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

Wendy just gave me an ARC and cover flat for a book called All Jacked Up by Penny McCall. It’s a romantic suspense from Berkley Sensation. McCall also writes under the name Penny McCusker, her real name (I think), for Harlequin.
This one caught my eye not only for FBI hero, but also [...]

You Are Where You Work

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

Quite some time ago a bunch of authors posted photos of their office spaces. There was even a website that collected them… I think. The memory came to mind while I was paging through a magazine over the weekend. There was an article on office cubicles of the future. Some of the [...]
