Soooo many searches coming to my site looking for information on the new Thor movie. Why yes, I’m excited! I’d hoped to have some Norse YA books coming out around the same time, but who knows… there is still DVD release date. Told you I can work the positive angles. 😉 I do have a “kind…

Busy Yet Fun Few Days & Stuff
So, in the last few days, I’ve written 5k on one of my novellas, critiqued most of a 100k novel for my critique partner, Rachel Vincent, and hosted a last minute NY’s Eve thing at my house with my sisters and their families as guests. We programmed an 80s music station into Pandora and sang…
I’m Alive
Just slightly overwhelmed by projects to get done and a few personal things. In the meantime, we have extended the deadline for the Readers on Deadline at The Deadline Dames. We’ve had comment issues so people couldn’t get their entries posted. Check out the image and the FANTASTIC prizes! (The Iron Witch by Karen Mahoney…
Proof the Hope is Still Alive
Oh my goodness, I do have quite a few of you following this crazy journey, don’t I? Thanks for sticking around!!!! So, after concerned emails, tweets, Facebook messages, etc, I just want to reassure you all that though I’m disappointed I didn’t get a book deal in 2010, I’m certainly not giving up. I love…

How To Stay Positive
December 10th: “I hope a publisher reads my manuscript before the end of the year!” December 21st: “Well, doubt I hear anything this year… but maybe one will read it over holiday break!”
Working. Working. Working.
For the record, I will probably cave and share a snippet at some point. I know I have a few readers interested in Unnatural Selection. Have I told you lately that you rock? No? Well, you do. I’m alternating between loving this book like crazy, to pulling my hair out over some of the harder…
Don’t Let the Chatter Slow You Down
Am dying to share some of the current WIP, but am playing it smart. This baby needs to go through my critique partner and agent before I start sharing with you. Speaking of my CP, Rachel Vincent is holding several ARC giveaways on her upcoming YA novel, MY SOUL TO STEAL. You might want to check…
Too Good to Miss
Today, I only want to share this. All women should watch this incredible speech by Helen Mirren. http://womenandhollywood.com/2010/12/08/helen-mirren-kicks-ass-at-the-women-in-entertainment-breakfast/
