I’m over at Access Romance Blog today blogging about a blurb I read in Entertainment Weekly about the “forbidden” books of our youth. The list in EW was eerily familiar to my own list.
If you want to see, come over and check it out.

When it comes to MySpace, I’ve already admitted to my weakness and peer pressure issues. Blame Alison. She blogged about it. A few authors commented. My procrastination craving required a fix. And, well, setting up the page didn’t cost any money.
Three weeks, numerous jibes (including those from Wendy, [...]

I recently read a book by a debut author, Richelle Mead. The book is Succubus Blues and, I gotta say, I was impressed. Like, WOW! impressed. There’s a review for it over at PBR.
Now, let me preface these comments by saying I do not know Richelle Mead. I plan on hunting [...]

Every now and then I see a book deal that makes my eyes bulge. And, okay, a teeny bit envious about the WOWZA factor of the money.

My local newspaper had a front page - front page!!! - story on Harlequin’s new NASCAR series. As I’ve stated before, this is a 16-book series where all books have a NASCAR setting. I don’t know a thing about NASCAR, so I can only assume “NASCAR setting” means in and around racing. [...]

This one’s long. May even count as babbling. Not sure. I apologize in advance.
Being new in town I know…well, no one. My editor suggested I join the San Diego RWA Chapter. She told me the Chapter was warm, welcoming and fun the group. She was right. The ladies [...]

Not me.
Have you heard about the book that claims to know the secret to happiness? It was a DVD sensation. Oprah touted it. It’s called, cleverly enough, The Secret. The author, Rhonda Byrne, says she found the ancient key by researching ancient texts. Makes sense since, really, where else [...]
