Had a long talk on the phone with my literary agent yesterday. I’ve been struggling with the new projects and I think she’s grown to know me over the last couple of years because she asked, “So, which one do you really, really want to write–besides the Norse YAs?” LOL! She knows I want to […]
So, last night the hubs and I shopped with our son to find his Halloween costume. He always comes up with something witty (This year it’s a blind crossing guard.) and then we work to find the pieces. Our trip took us to three different stores and my husband made part of the costume when we […]
The Readers on Deadline this month is a Halloween Celebration! I LOVE this image and the Dames have dared readers and writers to scare us. Two prizes! Hunger by Jackie Morse Kessler and Magic at the Gate by Devon Monk. And have you checked out our new look? Took me a long time to find […]

The Dames are sharing snippets of upcoming books over the next couple of weeks. Even though I said no more Foretold snippets, I don’t want to share more of my current works in progress at this point, so you guys get another sneak peek! It’s my day, so come let me know if you enjoy […]
We have some fun stuff going on behind the scenes at The Deadline Dames. Stick with us and soon there will be better load times on the site and possibly other surprises.
