When readers go ARGH!...
(The post where Meljean tries very hard to avoid spoilers for those of you who are DC Comics fans.)
Yesterday, I read the conclusion of a comic book mini-series that I hadn’t been terribly happy with from the first issue, but because it tied in to the main Justice League of...
Ilona is on the Oregon ...
They had just left Fort Bridger when the dogs began looking hungrily at the oxen...and the kids.
"At least it's not dysentery," the wagon master said helpfully, just before Ilona pressed SPACE BAR on his fricking head.
*To head off any concerns: ILONA DOESN’T...
My Inner Control Freak...
In a couple of months, I’ll be launching a new steampunk romance series. This excites me on a million different levels, but one of the reasons is that I’ll be updating my website to reflect both of my ongoing series (and because I don’t love love my current design)....
Play that funky music, ...
Like a lot of writers, I have a ’soundtrack’ for certain books that I listen to over the course of writing it. Well, not as I’m writing it — I have a hard time writing to any kind of music with lyrics, and if it’s music with lyrics that I know, then forget...
The Perfect (for you) M...
Yesterday, my daughter was home sick, and we ended up watching Ghostbusters together. It’s one of those movies that I still enjoy, but honestly…I could have turned it off at any point and not missed it. Most movies are like that, but there are a few that it doesn’t...

Two things you shouldn&...
Romance and marriage means spending a lot of time thinking about what to get someone else, and what to do for that person. There are so many reasons: just because, birthdays, special occasions, la di da. But there are a couple of things that you shouldn’t do, and I’m happy...
Disconnected...
The most frustrating message in the world.
I’m at a Starbucks right now, using their internet connection. My wireless at home? Kaput.
That’s not always bad. I love the weekends where my family and I get away, and leave the computers behind. And for the past several weeks,...
Foreign editions...
Obviously, I really love talking about covers (or Photoshopping them.) This time, it’s all about foreign covers.
Although it doesn’t always happen, many books receive new covers after they’ve been bought by a foreign publisher and/or translated. There are two primary...
Zombie Apocalypse...
I’m a zombie fan. Movies, books, Jill’s fairy tales… Put a zombie in it, and I’ll automatically take interest. I’ve totally got my zombie survival plan ready (my husband will perish, I think, because he hasn’t watched as many zombie movies as I...
