Goodbye, Padania is now on sale at Amazon, too: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CVZZD6S http://fb.me/OlCOAfDn

I have become somewhat (in)famous for having a lot of crazy wacky shelves. They were fun, but I was having a lot of trouble finding/categorizing what I was reading.

It was beginning to drive me a little nuts trying to keep track of all my books.

Over the next few days, I will be recategorizing my s... Read more of this blog post »

A little hotness to start the week

The post Monday Hotness! appeared first on Diane Adams.

Amazon has several of my paperback novels on sale. No, I have no idea why. Perhaps it is my incessant clicking or maybe Junior asked nicely. Perhaps it’s the phase of the moon or a special for summer reading books?

At any rate, Executive Lunch is a dollar off (maybe they liked the new cover!), Und...

Happy Tuesday, Dear Readers! Welcome to a mid-week feast of randomness from yours truly.

Thing the First: The very first blog review of The Night Itself! From the delightful Laura at Sister Spooky. This review contains a line I absolutely adore, because it perfectly sums up the book:

Today on the blog I have the very great pleasure and honor of hosting an author I've admired for years. Natalie Whippleis the author of TRANSPARENT, a book about a girl who's born invisible in a world where having super powers can be very dangerous indeed. It made me cry on the airplane. Twice....

Working week:

For various reasons I didn’t get much writing done in the early part of the week, but fortunately things improved and Merry Gentlemen (formerly known as Life of Riley) now stands at just under 26k. That’s a novella already, although I still have a few scenes left to write. All the...

The old diary I found recently had just a few boring pages at the start and from then on I only wrote in it when we had holidays. I’m posting this here for posterity (mine)!

This place is gorgeous! I’m sitting on the balcony and there are lovely Italianate houses, a small marina and...

Every time. I write a new character, and I fall in love with him. This week, of course, I’m talking about Aden. He’s difficult and dark, but oh so sensuous. And deep in his black heart is a core of strength and honor. ::sigh::

Yes, I’ve done a lot of writing this week, a lot of quality time with A...

Last weekend, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America got together in San Jose for the annual Nebula awards. I wasn’t on the ballot, but it was a most productive weekend. Friday Audible.com invited several of their authors to breakfast. I found out they intend to have First Casualty, P...

We love pictures of Arlen, and this one is no exception. Fresh from a night of hunting corelings, Arlen bares it all.

Collage done by Cupidissimo on Deviant Art. One of my favorite things about his picture is how Arlen’s hand is dissapating into the sun as it rises over Thesa.

And as if that was...

Learning to write sound, interesting, sometimes elegant prose is the work of a lifetime. The only way I know to do it is to read a vast deal of the best writing available, prose and poetry, with keen attention, and find a way to make use of this reading in one’s own writing. The first [...]

The revised and expanded edition of The End is now out for real. Today a little interview I did about the book with It's Nice That went up, with some excerpts. I'll probably do a few posts of outtakes and process things – the book's own biography that I mention. But first I'm going to take the m... Read more of this blog post »

For all I’ve been blessed with in my life,

there was an emptiness in me.

I was imprisoned by the power of gold.

With one kind touch you set me free.

For every mountain I have climbed,

I climbed for you;

Every raging river crossed.

You were the treasure that I longed to find.

Without your love I would be...

The Miraculous Millionaire

Until now, no book on personal finance has systematically and completely shown the average or ordinary individual how to get rich quickly without risks. No book has been written by one of us and from our perspective. Washington or New York mass media elite do not unders...

It’s difficult to come back down to earth after a weekend of non-stop celebration, but that’s what it felt like after this weekend’s Franschhoek Literary Festival. It was a whirlwind of friends, wine, good food and happy memories.

No, I’m serious. Don’t even joke about it. I’m not even kidding.

Dead serious.

I didn't manage to do very much over the last couple weeks because I'm writing (and editing).

I love dividing the world into categories. Abstainers and moderators. Radiators and drains. Leopards and alchemists. Marathoners and sprinters (formerly known as “tortoises and hares”–I like this terminology better, how about you?)

I’ve come up with a new distinction, but I’m still turning it over...

Yes, it’s totally not fair that New York is getting its third meet-up while Cincinnatihasn’t had its first. I agree. This one isn’t my fault, though.
