Probably not, but over at my husband's photo blog, there's a great story to go with this picture/quilt. You can see it bigger there, too.

People say that writing is solitary. For the most part I agree, but I have had a bit of a change of heart lately. For years I wrote alone, only having one or two people read my stuff when I thought it was finished. I learned a lot, but it seemed like I did a lot of...

This picture is the one that I said looks like my superhero character Enviro Avenger. The photographer noticed that people were clicking over from my site to hers and emailed and offered to let me put it up here! Cool, eh? You may have noticed that not only have I not...

Every once in a while there are just so many cool things that I think y'all would like to see, but might miss. So here are a few links for you. First, I would be remiss not to mention my first interview (again), right? Do stop by because I'm so much more scintillating...

Guess what? I just did my very first author interview! Stop on over at Steph Bowe's blog and be impressed. No, not with me! With Steph. She's a fifteen year old YA writer and book reviewer and she's got a fantastic blog going over there, so don't miss it. I really...

I'm hoping you all will celebrate the release of my debut YA novel, Restoring Harmony with me and to show you how thankful I am for your support, I'm going to make it fun! There will be several contests and giveaways. And here are a few rules guidelines for playing....

Click to enlarge. See more of my husband's wonderful photographs here. I often link to his daily photo blog, but this link is for his professional online portfolio. Make sure you have some time, as there's a lot of great stuff to look at. If you're detail oriented,...

I know it's hard to believe that THREE such cool people could all be born in April. First my agent, then me (if I say I'm cool here it makes it true because this is the web, right?) and now, on the very last day of the month, in the nick of time, my ultra-cool...

Well, I handed in my edits! Yay! Even did it a few days early. Love that. I have a strange thing to share though. Somewhere along the editing road, my manuscript transformed into a book. I was kind of hoping this would happen. 🙂 What I mean is, that while it seemed...

Actually, since I met my husband, nothing keeps me awake at night. We are so content in our lives that we've become champion sleepers. However, if something in my writing did keep me awake at night, this is what it would be. The little mistakes that writers make when...

I know! Where the heck have I been? My husband and cats are wondering the same thing. Well, I have a deadline on April 30th. Need I say more? I've been holed up in my office working on my book and it's all good! I'm very pleased with my edits! Ask me again when I get...

Last year on my birthday I listed forty things that I was grateful for (because it was my fortieth birthday). I am going to make this a tradition, so without further ado, forty-one things I am grateful for (in no particular order): 1.      Such a great life so far!...

Hi All, Sorry I haven't posted in ages. I'm busy, busy, busy listening to the Cubs kick the Cards butts working on my revisions of Restoring Harmony and cutting like crazy! And guess what? It's going to work! I'm very excited. But that's not what this post is about....

The next best thing to announcing a book sale of my own is announcing a 3 book deal for my best friend and wonderful writer, Eileen Cook! Do drop by her site and tell her congrats. I can hardly wait to read them, Eileen!

I usually don't promote anything other than books and writers on this page, but this little device is something I feel so strongly (and happy) about that I have to share in case you need to know about it. As an adult, I've been plagued with spring allergies relating...

I am part of a Yahoo group and Twitter has come up for discussion. Like me, before I started to tweet, those who haven't tried it see it as a huge waste of time. I posted the following message to the group and thought I'd share it here. My name is Joelle Anthony, and...
