Too Cool

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

Just got the very good news that TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT is going back for a second printing…and it hasn’t even officially released yet! Wahoo!!
What does this mean for you? Well, see, this can only be interpreted to mean the anthology is awesome, selling like mad and that you should go [...]

The Free Book Thing

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

I keep seeing publishers and authors offering up free backlist books and short stories. It’s an interesting promo trend. It strikes me as a possible way to hook readers with a free taste of an author’s writing. Not a guarantee and risky in some ways, but potentially a good thing. There’s [...]

Twit…Or Something

Saturday, September 13th, 2008

I am now on twitter. I barely know what this is and absolutely do not need one more way to waste time. I only signed up because my dear friend Alison Kent lives in Houston and Hurricane Ike is smacking the crap out of her part of Texas. I wanted to [...]

Early Christmas

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

The new Romantic Times came out this week. It’s the October issue. And, yes, TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT is not reviewed in it as it should be. A kind reader already emailed me to warn me. I actually knew earlier this week. It’s was a mix-up that [...]

What Not To Do At A Wedding

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

Proof that love makes you lose your freaking mind:
According the the Chicago Sun-Times, a bride and groom were tasered and arrested during their wedding reception. Yeah, you read that right. It’s a familiar story: bride gets drunk, police are called, couple spends wedding night in jail. Who hasn’t been [...]

What Is…

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

…unusual about this book cover:

Answer: The author’s name isn’t on the cover. The author is Aury Wallington. There’s an “About The Author” page at the end and her name shows up on an inside page, just not on the cover.
This is a tie-in novel to the tv show Heroes. Obvious, I [...]

For those of you who plan on hanging out in Encino tomorrow (ie, Sunday), Sylvia Day and I will be at the Barnes & Noble (Ventura Blvd.) at 10:00 a.m. We’re talking about Fear of Failure/Fear of Success with the L.A. Romance Authors (L.A.R.A.) and doing a booksigning. The topic looks like this:

Literary Horror

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

Here is the book I brought along on my trip to New Jersey and NYC: A Good And Happy Child by Justin Evans. I bought it because the back cover says it was a Washington Post Best Book Of 2007. News to me. It’s described as literary horror. Also news [...]

Happy Mother’s Day

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

My parents are in town, so I’ll be with my mom today. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there!

Hard As Nails - The First Review

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

I’m going to try to dedicate one post per week to talking about my upcoming release, HARD AS NAILS. The idea is to break your will and force you to go pre-order a copy. I have no shame.
This week’s entry comes from the fabulous Jennifer and her new review site, Wild On Books. [...]
