Deadline Day

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

Yesterday was not a good day. Really. Not. Good.
Today is much better. It’s deadline day and the book is done - yay!!! I just sent it. For those who have been waiting and asking, there’s more good news!!! See, this one is Josh’s story. He’s the DEA [...]

On The Eve

Monday, June 25th, 2007

Tomorrow is the official big day - the release of YOUR MOUTH DRIVES ME CRAZY. Notice how I said official. Many folks have spotted the book on the shelves at bookstores and B&N online has been shipping it for about two weeks now. I tried to track it down in San Diego [...]

Second Anniversary

Friday, May 25th, 2007

In an oversight of epic proportions, I somehow missed the anniversary of THE CALL. It was such a huge day. Can’t believe I let the anniversary of the big day pass without a mention. Bad author.
A bit of history…THE CALL came on May 6th. I remember feeling shocked, awed [...]

New Book Deal!

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

This time I’m talking about me…
My wonderful editor Kate Duffy offered - and I accepted - a new three-book deal. The books will be Brava single titles - ie, not novellas and not anthologies. As soon as I know the release schedule in more than just tentative terms I’ll share.
A big thanks to [...]

RWA - Day One

Thursday, July 27th, 2006

Went to my first signing as the person giving the autograph rather than the person seeking the autograph. Pretty cool. Unloaded all but one copy of Viva Las Bas Boys! - yay!
Met Jordan - she’s lovely. Met Walt and Alison - yes, they need a better vacation planner because visiting Atlanta in [...]

Coming In For A Landing

Saturday, July 8th, 2006

If you’re looking for something to do today, consider going to one (or all) of these websites that say Viva Las Bad Boys! is out and shipping.  Your job then is to buy a copy (or 40 because every family member should have at least one copy but would be better off with 2 or more).  [...]

It’s Here

Sunday, June 11th, 2006

Yes, it’s the beginning of June. Yes, Viva Las Bad Boys! is scheduled as an August release. To Kensington this means July 26th. To B&N this means August 28th. To me it means June 10th because [imagine a dramatic drumroll here...] copies of Viva Las Bad Boys! have arrived at [...]

Buy That Book

Monday, March 13th, 2006

Some miscellaneous book pimping…
First - According to Barnes & Noble, When Good Things Happen To Bad Boys is shipping. Wonder if that means the rest of my author copies are on the way. Maybe I should order a few from here…hmmm. Regardless of whether I do, you should. Follow that link, [...]

A Week Of Writing Rest…

Monday, March 6th, 2006

My March 1st book deadline has come, gone and been met…that last part is a bit of a miracle. This deadline was tight. It didn’t start out that way, but it ended that way. At the time I accepted the contract, I had 4 months to write the single title. I [...]

Someone Likes Me

Friday, February 24th, 2006

A huge thanks to Ellen for pointing this out to me…
From Tami on the RT Readers’ Roundtable about my novella in When Good Things Happen To Bad Boys:
“This is the most exciting and unique first novel I’ve ever read by an author. If this a taste of what Ms Dimon is capable of writing, then [...]
