Yeah, the life of a writer.  Glamorous. Exciting. (In our heads maybe. <g>)  I sent this to Dame Karen Mahoney one day as a joke, but why not share with my readers here?  Wanna see what a writer normally looks like after a hard day at the computer picking her own brain?

I LOVE waking up to an email from an editor.  I want many more days like this one, btw. 😉 Anyway, Trisha Telep sent along the final cover for the anthology I’ll be in next year.  The Mammoth Book of Special Ops Romance is now up for pre-order on Amazon. Yay!!!  Looks like the US…

The hardest part of having a love for a mythology and then writing fictional worlds using that mythology is not being able to read other books of fiction in the same vein.  I would hate to accidentally absorb an idea from a book while I’m working on my own. Yes, I’ve decided to go ahead…

This picture was taken by my daughter.  She’s incredibly talented. So, I’ve been a little skimpy on the posts here.  Sometimes, life throws you a few curve balls and in the last couple of years, my family has been hit with more than a fair amount.  In between hunting for the right job, waiting on…

So, I missed the official premiere of Stargate Universe.  Watched it on Hulu today and I’m filled with a little giddy excitement over the start of what I hope is an ongoing adventure.  Life just doesn’t pop if I don’t have a good science fiction show.  Weird, I know.  So, did you catch it?

I’ve had a couple of people looking for an old post here called The Cat, The Mouse and The Strawberry, so I thought I’d repost it for fun. 🙂 So, I was running late and had to get to the office.  (I’m now going in a couple of times a week.)  My son was running…

I gave away an urban fantasy tote bag at the Deadline Dames last week and in the comments, readers talked about seeing the design on a T-shirt, etc.  It occurred to me that I haven’t pimped my store in forever!  This blog used to be called The Write Snark and I started it to go…

One of the Deadline Dames, Karen Mahoney, announced fantastic book deal news yesterday and today is my day to post. I’m giving away a book tote to celebrate her news, so come comment for a chance to win!
