So, A Fool and His Manny got the RITA ™ nod–and I was unbelievably proud. But in the past two years we have become painfully aware that an entire group of writers has been grievously overlooked when it comes to this award and getting the recognition they deserve. I figured if anybody tuned in to… Read More

OKay– so I thought I’d be done with Fish 4 by now, so I could do nothing but post Moon/Fish, but alas, that is not to be. I’ll probably finish tonight, which is good because I’m behind two edits and I’ve basically been dodging social media to hit my deadlines like the professional I try… Read More

So, I WAS going to spend today writing you some Moon/Fish while I finished up a critical scene with Jackson. (Like, my beta reader is sending me demanding e-mails as I type–it’s THAT CRITICAL.)  Anyway– I stayed up late last night writing, and was looking forward to sleeping in and then getting a head start… Read More

So… It has occurred to me that I was so busy trying to make deadline in December that I didn’t tell you all what I was making deadline for.  The sequel to Beneath the Stain is coming out in August, in Mass Market Paperback, and I’m super excited about that.  I might not have mentioned… Read More

So, it’s St. Patrick’s Day, which is usually an excuse to drink beer and party, but we’re not really party people, right? But the big kids have a new roommate–and the girls are trying to find a two bedroom of their own so they don’t have to room with two icky boys, and the new… Read More

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!! First of all, thank you all for being patient. I know you probably expected Kermit Flail in this space last week at this time, but, well, I was traveling from Daytona Beach home and it was not happening. I’m rested now (mostly!) and caught up (sort of!) and so ready to celebrate the nearness… Read More

 Freckles by Amy Lane Small dogs can make big changes… if you open your heart. Carter Embree always hoped someone might rescue him from his productive, tragically boring, and (slightly) ethically compromised life. But when an urchin at a grocery store shoves a bundle of fluff into his hands, Carter goes from rescuee to rescuer—and… Read More

Okay– so I’ll admit it. I was not in great shape when I arrived in Tampa. The plan was for Karen and her husband Martin to pick me up and then take me to their house. Karen and I would spend a day chilling and yarn shopping on Tuesday and then drive from Tampa to… Read More

So, Coastal Magic was a GREAT convention–I had the best time with the best people. I’m sure I’ll have more stories tomorrow–but right now I’ve been up for almost 24 hours (give or take a nap in a plane that didn’t leave the ground for two hours!) and I got business to take care of!… Read More

I’m feeling mildly better–but the only–and I mean ONLY thing I did over the last two days was pack, edit, and finish Mate’s sweater. Now, Friday night I read at the Lavender Library, and Saturday morning I had a chapter meeting where I got to see Anna J. Stewart and hear Sheryl Lister’s rather amazing… Read More
