Demon Blood Winners!...

First, I have to thank everyone SO MUCH. I’m absolutely blown away by the number of entries in the contest — I just wish I had more books to give away. Here are the list of winners, chosen by random.org (and sorted by MS Word): 6 – Mireyah Wolfe 20 – Melissa P 43...

(I am working on compiling the names for the winners in the Demon Blood contest — I’ll have those up by mid-day.) Don't love it, don't hate it.This week, I’ve seen two of my favorite fictional characters undergo changes. One, as you may have heard about, is Wonder...

So, after Jill talked about her ebook reader, I thought I should have a review of mine. Except I don’t really have a dedicated ebook reader, because I’ve been waiting until every ebook distributor and publisher decides to use one ebook format (epub w/no DRM? kthxbai)....

Panic Mode...

So I’ve hit panic mode writing the latest book. It’s not as bad as it sounds — I’ve been working like crazy the past few months, and panic mode just means that a lot (more) anxiety is riding along with it now. But it’s also really, really focused, so...

This morning I was at Target buying mailing supplies, and as usual, I headed past the printed t-shirts on my way to the checkout.* That was when I saw these (you can click to enlarge): …and I couldn’t decide which one to get. I’m not really on one team or another,...
