(With apologies to Wendy, Mary, & Chris, who I think would all understand.) My youngest son, Zoomboy, is a scorpio. Scorpios are “intense little creatures” and Zoomboy is a textbook case. He has a laser like concentration–he can focus on a craft project he’s interested in to the exclusion of everything: drafts on the floor,… Read More

Hammer & Air is out, and I’m thinking that although it’s a leetle too early for things to be conclusive, it’s possible that it doesn’t suck! (I’m nervous– I forgot my usual supplication to the gods… shall we throw in a quickie? Holy Goddess, Merciful God, LET IT NOT SUCK! thankyaverymuchamen!) Anyway, I was looking… Read More

Okay, at one point in time, I was asked what my favorite fairy tales were. My response was, “A bunch of ones that no one has heard about!” When asked to clarify, I gave the following list: The Little Goose GirlFelicia and the Pot of PinksThe Three AuntiesThe Story of the Boy Who Knew No… Read More

‘kay… tomorrow is Zoomboy’s b-day, but all the pictures of cake & ice cream at grandmas are on Mate’s phone, and the Six-Foot Rat nightmare is next week, so I’m going to do something different today. I’ve got a new release on Wednesday (so you can expect a book cover up on the top for… Read More

(Thanks, Chris, for the big ol’ link to the sleeping animals. I have now resorted to putting this up on my blog, and I am almost ashamed at how sweet it is. And now Chicken wants a rat. Dammit!) Okay–I may have mentioned that the woman who brought Steve in to give her away as… Read More

So I scored a huge-ish interview and I thought I’d share. It’s funny how people can get such an interesting impression from interviews–I don’t feel like a whirlwind at ALL. In fact, when I plop my big ass down on the stuffed chair, I gotta tell y’all, I feel more like an earthquake! (I may… Read More

OKay– I do admit that I left Thursday’s post up for a couple of reasons, one of the most important being that for many of us who write or read romance, it seemed to strike a real chord. I get tired of defending my reading or writing choices, tired of explaining all of the academic… Read More

I’ve joked about it– a lot! I’m self deprecating about my writing–I called Vulnerable“my smutty vampire novel” when I was finished with it. When I was working on Jack & Teague it was “gay werewolf porn”. I mean, we bloggers, we tend to be a self-deprecating lot, right? It’s as though we feel that just… Read More

Came home with a virus, and then wrote about 8,000 words in two days. (It’s nanowrimo-don’t know what to tellyou. This year I thought I’d make it official!) Anyway, I’m sort of sick and really sleepy, so I think I’m gonna go knit, and leave you with the following pictures to assuage my guilt. Enjoy!… Read More
