I recently caught up on the available episodes of The Guild’s Season 4, the webseries about online gamers written/created by Felicia Day (if you don’t watch The Guild, you might remember her from Buffy, or Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, or one of many profiles online...

One of the jobs that most authors have taken on in addition to writing is their own promo. To be certain, the best promotion is the book itself. There’s just no getting around the other kind of promo, however, and we all do at least a little — sometimes to our benefit,...

And I would fill in for her, I really would. Problem is … I’ve been sitting here staring at the new cover that Nalini unveiled yesterday, and I can’t look away to write or do a post or anything else. Dude. Just when you think you’ve seen the most awesome cover...

I ran across this video of Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic (from the Castle TV show) reading a passage from HEAT WAVE, the book that’s tied to the TV series. I laughed over it a little, not just because Fillion has a few funny moments, but because it’s so true: Every writer...

I do love Oregon. Even on days like yesterday, when my husband unexpectedly had a day off of work, and we packed up some sandwiches and headed to the coast — which was, according to The Weather Channel, having 71° sunny weather. (After living in Oregon long enough, we knew...
