Firday explains how fried my brain is from revising my new manuscript. And I am moments a few hours away from sending it to my agent and critique group, so all I have to say this morning is pop on over to The Debs to help us celebrate Deb Maria’s new book...

You’ve all seen interviews and guest posts here with the fabulous Eileen Cook. It’s not that I play favourites, giving her more press than the rest of you, it’s just that she is one of my best friends AND she’s got a new book out. Plus whenever...

There are two kinds of people in life: the kind who are happy to let you have the last word, and the ones like me. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean that getting in the last word is necessarily a bad thing. But I’ll admit that when my friend Wanda...

When I first moved to the island people would ask me what I did for a living. After I told them I wrote for teens, they would invariably say: Have you met Iain Lawrence? You see, Iain is not only an extremely talented writer, but he’s one of those “top of...

I’ve decided two things for 2010 in regards to reading. First, I’m going to branch WAY out from YA and start reading a lot of other stuff. I talked more about it here a few weeks ago. The second thing I’m going to do is keep a running list of...

I’m over at The Debutante Ball lamenting celebrating deadlines. Do you have any big ones in 2010? I’ve started some research into indie bookstores and guess what I’ve found? Yep! Restoring Harmony on lots of their websites (not to mention quite a few...

I’m very excited to have James here even though I haven’t read his new book. I know! What is wrong with me? Well, I’m scared of it. My agent, who is also James’ agent told me I might be too wimpy to read it. Okay, wimpy might’ve been my...

The closer I get to my release date, the more contact I am having with book bloggers. I’ve always been an advocate of privacy for the sake of safety on the internet and I am finding myself worrying about some of these bloggers a bit. Many of the ones interested...

Happy New Year everyone! Hope your head doesn’t hurt too much from all the celebrating. I was reading Yahoo’s tips on avoiding a hangover, and they forgot the easiest one – don’t drink! I’m over at The Debs today, looking for book...

Time for my annual Fave Fifteen book list. This list is created from the books I read this year (not when they were published). I did not do a very thorough job of recording all the books I read, in fact, I only wrote down 108, but I think I read more like 125 all the...

I know that publishing can’t be good for the environment. Book production alone takes a lot of trees, transportation, and other tolls. Heck, just the amount of bubble envelopes and manuscript pages I receive each year makes me a little sick to my stomach.* I am...

Last Friday I was over at The Debs talking about the dedication in my first book, Restoring Harmony (I like saying “first” book as if you might get it confused with my “second” book that my agent just sold – the one that’s not even...

First, I want to thank everyone who entered to win Jennifer R. Hubbard’s THE SECRET YEAR. You all begged so prettily, but in the end, only one name could be drawn out of the Cubs hat (if you didn’t win, I’ll give you my husband’s email and you...

I have nothing against women’s fiction or contemporary fiction, but it doesn’t cross my path that often, so I don’t read a lot of it. However, a while ago, I read Julie’s book The Opposite of Love and immediately fell in love with her writing....
