I have four releases coming out in 2008. That’s more than I had in 2006 and 2007 combined. I’m excited, but the idea of multiple releases gets me thinking about promo stuff. I wish I knew what worked and what didn’t. Think of the money to be made in packaging and [...]

Between the Southern California fires and a computer hacking problem, I’m ready to forget about last week. I need to get back to writing. The next few days will be a struggle to do just that. The stop-and-start way of writing has never worked for me. I have to dig in [...]

I got hacked…or something. Had a serious problem with email last evening around 10 pm PST. Very personal and very nasty emails went out to writing/reader loops of which I’m a member. They are under my email address. These are not from me. I know I can be clueless and [...]

I’m blogging over at Access Romance today. Check it out.
Also check out Kerry Allen’s blog. I found it because she commented at Access Romance and, being nosy, I clicked on her link and read through her blog. Kerry is funny. Her insights and reader peeves give me a “I wish I [...]

First, Brava editor (my editor) Kate Duffy is blogging at the Brava Authors’ website today. She’ll be there every month. It’s a fabulous opportunity to say hello, ask her questions and get to know her. Take advantage of the opportunity.

It’s Sunday. Remember to check-in at the Sweat Challenge today.

My editor offered, and I accepted, a new book contract. Wahoo!!!! This one is for three more single titles. Except for the Christmas novella, my 2008 releases are all written and turned in. So, the books from the new sale will come out in 2009/2010. I’ll let you know when [...]

Let me preface this entry with this disclaimer: People should feel free to write and read whatever they want. But…is it too much to ask for some variety? I had dinner with my fellow published authors from the San Diego RWA chapter last night (which was awesome). Before dinner, I looked [...]
