I just got home from the morning school run to discover that Maurice Sendak, beloved author and illustrator of books Where the Wild Things Are, In the Night Kitchen, Outside Over There (and so many more) died today at 83. I can’t tell you how many times I read those books to Killian and Corwin […]
It’s been almost five months since I’ve had a book out (bad Bron) but I’m happy to say that Sensuous Summoning, the second book in my Witch Way series is finally here! There’s a contest for the first two books in the series over at the Day Dreaming blog! Here’s the Blurb: While casting a […]
It’s been a weird day. Our neighbors came over and asked if they could have our swing set for their kid. I get it – their kid looks longingly at it every day from two yards over and my kids are too old to play on it. It’s a nice one though. It’s one of […]
I’m thrilled to report that I finished the freaking book! To celebrate (the book being done and me not being a giant stressed out bitch anymore), I took Killian, Not-Kevin.

So Cait was bringing me up to the car place to pick up my car which was in the process of being fixed, and she was listening to her Hey Ocean cd. There was a peppy little song playing. The lyrics are actually: “You make me want to make up a new dance.” Only I […]
So I went to the Romantic Times convention and it was fab. I love spending time with friends I don’t see all that often or only knew from the interwebz, and hell, even friends I see all the time. In short, I love a good conference – even when I’m exhausted and utterly drained by […]
Okay…so I ordered a shirt from a catalog for RT. I went to try it on last night and discovered it. only. had. one. sleeve. One. Sleeve. The one I ordered totally had two sleeves.I double checked the catalog to make sure. So luckily, there’s a store nearby where I can return it. However, when […]
I’m sure no one here will be surprised to hear that I screwed up. Again. When I panicked and dragged myself out of bed last night to draw a winner for the M.H. Mead contest, I thought it was the 4th. You know, the day I was supposed to draw the winner. Evidently, it was […]
They’re baaaaa-aaaaack. They’re awesome. And they’re giving away their new book! Today on the blog we have a writing duo, Margaret Yang and Harry R. Campion, who write near-future thrillers under the shared pen name M.H. Mead. You may remember that last year, they visited my blog to tell us about their first novel, Fate’s […]
