Triane’s Son Fighting

on January 28, 2014

Triane’s Son Fighting  Have I mentioned the Batman thing?  I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned the Batman thing. In fact, I know I’ve mentioned the Batman thing.  Because, well, Batman.  I’ve written pages and pages on Batman, and heroic archetypes and the pantheon of superhero archetypes– it is old hat by now. But just like I… Read More


Amy Lane Welcomes Sid Love!

on January 25, 2014

Hi all!  A couple of things before we get to my guest, Sid Love, who wanted to talk about his book with the gorge-mous cover! First off– I was supposed to post a blog on Friday, but since Tuesday’s post went up late– and since it got a lOT of traffic– I thought I’d leave it… Read More


Reviewing Reviews

on January 22, 2014

Before I start, though, I really want to clarify– I am, at the moment, flying sort of high.  Behind the Curtain is out, and so far, people seem to have really taken to Dawson and Jared– and I’m glad.  But I need people to know (because so many of my readers are sweet and wonderful and… Read More


Epic hats of epicness and other oddities of hats

on January 19, 2014

Amy’s Cover Reveal of the week–ISN’T IT PURTY????? Okay– it’s all about the random.  I actually feel bad– I remember on Wednesday, right when I posted Andrew’s post, I was like, “Wow!  I have so much to blog about!”  And then today, when I actually sat down to blog, my brain was like ~~~~~~~~~~~~  All… Read More


Andrew Grey introducing Dumped in OZ!

on January 15, 2014

I want to take a minute to thank Amy for having me as her guest.  She’s a dear friend and I love her to pieces.  I’m sending her and all her friends a huge hug.  I got the idea for Dumped in Oz while I was on a business trip to Kansas.  I was feeling… Read More


Letters to the World

on January 12, 2014

Okay– Mary Calmes has reminded me that it is time for “Letters to the World”.  Now, some of these letters are very freaking sincere, and others are, well, a wee bit snarky.  I’m going to start off with the sincere one, because it makes me proud, and then I’m going to snark my heart out….

You’re Welcome

on January 9, 2014

As I went to log into blogger, I okayed a comment saying “Thank you for Behind the Curtain” and it hit me– I have such a love/hate thing going on with reviews that I often forget my favorite reviews of all don’t happen on amazon or GoodReads– they happen on Twitter and FB and on… Read More


A Little Family Story and the New Release

on January 7, 2014

Okay– I admit it.  I was going to take the easy way out and just post my usual release day book info and bail.  But then I got a lovely Christmas card (only a little late) from the wonderful Zach Sweets, who said that he was a fan of the blog. Okay– I have a… Read More


Behind the Curtain, Epic Hats, and a lot of Vegetation

on January 3, 2014

 I have to admit– having all three release dates cascading down on me in less than a month was something of a shock.  I did not expect that, and I’m sure people are sick of me.  Amy Lane?  She has another one out?  Really?  Isn’t there a rule, like a mongrel dog popping out too many… Read More


Catching Up

on December 30, 2013

A reader sent me this– llama and alpaca run a business together.  Love it very very very much– had to put it in the blog for any reason at all. Vacation, man– you’ve heard of it! So, you all know the deal, right?  Vacation isn’t really vacation– sometimes it’s just personal work instead of professional… Read More
