Shut up and write!

on February 26, 2014

“Oh Mary, my Mary, what are you doing tonight?” “I’m trying to edit, and it’s sort of a fight!” “Wanna talk about Teen Wolf?  It was a delight!” “I know what you’re doing–don’t push me, all right?” “But my character’s ripping my heart out, it’s all tangled like–“ “I know– I wanna read it!  You… Read More


This One Time, in Korea…

on February 23, 2014

First of all– WOOT!  You all have really embraced Shiny!, and given that it is an admitted departure from a lot of my work (not to mention my catch phrase!) I couldn’t be more excited.  I loved writing the non-angsty, sweet as pie, bless their hearts story of two guys, working shit out.  Not that… Read More


Shiny!

on February 20, 2014

It all started like this…  See… I was doing some housecleaning.  Seriously.  OLD housecleaning.  Pre-kids housecleaning.  Uhm, sacred drawer of intimacy housecleaning.  Yeah.  That sort of housecleaning.  Anyway– I threw “stuff” away, like you do, and looked across the street. Now, we live across the street from a church with a little private school attached.  The faith… Read More


Lego Dreams

on February 17, 2014

So the family and I went and saw The Lego Movie today– and I have one thing to say: EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!   Seriously– how can you not love The Lego Movie?  A perfect blend of earnestness and snark, how can you not love a movie that laughs at it’s own meta-ness, and teaches not… Read More


Valentines Day?

on February 14, 2014

I got quoted today on U.S.A. Today Blog about my favorite Valentines Day sweet, which I think is really funny. See, the thing is, I ADORE writing love stories, but I have a very odd sense of romance.I have given up being a fan of the romantic gesture, or the big box of chocolates (unless… Read More


What I’m wearing today…

on February 11, 2014

It’s sort of my uniform after getting home from any trip, but it’s got the same basic style, shape, and function: * ripped jeans * stretched out T-shirt *  bra that doesn’t chafe *  underwear that don’t droop *  softest, stretchiest hoodie *  flip-flops * scarf *  booby hamster I’m home– oh baby I’m home!… Read More

on February 9, 2014

 Okay– you all see the lovely woman standing on my right?  That’s Deborah Cooke/Claire Delacroix, and she’s lovely, funny, bright as hell, and we did a meet and greet today.  Not many people came, but I was thrilled to be in the same room with her, and we had fun.  I presented ten reasons Knitting… Read More


Yarn and Selfies

on February 5, 2014

Don’t take this the wrong way, but my ass hurts. Yeah, not that way, you pervs (my people, I adore you all!) but in the more prosaic sense, by the time I got from SF Airport to Atlanta (where I am blogging from, while I wait for my connector to Daytona Beach), my left hind… Read More


*kermit flail* YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY

on February 3, 2014

Okay, now that I’ve got your attention! I realized that my blogging time at the beginning of the month got pretty booked!  I’m at Amy’s Lane on the second Tuesday, and at Sid Love’s on the third, and, well, who’s going to write my blog. So I asked for some help from my friends.  I… Read More


Pissers/Whizzers

on January 31, 2014

Let’s start with the pissers… Pissers *  Republicans in the Senate *  People who say women can’t write gay romance * People who think any gay romance is porn. * Stupid stalkers–the evil stupid kind, not the fun kind who pop up every now and then to say “Hi, Amy, I love you!” (To clarify?… Read More
