Welcome to Women Who Rock Wednesday! Let's start things off with the prize I have to announce... the winner of Jessica Brody's LOVE UNDER COVER is MARIAN from Blogger! Marian you didn't leave your email address, so hopefully you are reading this and can send your address to stephanie at stephaniekuehnert dot com so you can get your prize!
So it's Thanksgiving which marks the beginning of the holiday season. I've gotta say, I'm not a fan. Other than the part where we say what we're thankful...

I promised you a more interesting/special blog post today and here it is. Ronna (aka RR Smythe, who writes YA Fantasy and then other books under other names) came up with this cool idea for a bunch of different authors to write about how music is their muse all on the same day. Obviously, I was psyched about the idea. So read on to find out about how music is my muse and then I'll be linking you to six other authors' blogs so you can find out how music inspires them.
I think music is up...

*Warning: today's blog is in no way cohesive!*
I've been having trouble keeping up with random things... I've been having trouble keeping up with everything in general. Honestly, I'm in a place where I just want to write and ignore the world, but unfortunately I can't. I'm probably the only person not thrilled about the holiday this week because it's cutting into my writing time, but anyway....
First of all, thank you so much for all the honeymoon suggestions last week. Our budget was really...

I'm a part of a fun blog touring group called the Girlfriends Cyber Circuit. When my fellow girlfriends have new books out, I bring them by to tell you about their new releases. Today I've got Laurie Faria Stolarz here to talk about her two new books, BLACK IS FOR BEGINNINGS and DEADLY LITTLE LIES. First, let's hear about the books (which sound incredible!), then Laurie will answer some interview questions!
ABOUT BLACK IS FOR BEGINNNINGS:

The BLUE IS FOR NIGHTMARES series that put a spell on mo...

Welcome to Women Who Rock Wednesday! Today we're going to get to know the fabulous author and rockin' lady Jessica Brody, who has a new novel out called Love Under Cover. Let's meet her, shall we?



Q: Your new book is called Love Under Cover and it's the sequel to the Fidelity Files. For those who haven't read the Fidelity Files can you tell us a bit what that is about and then tell us what Love Under Cover is about?

Jessica: Although Love Under Cover is technically a "sequel" I wrote it to stan...

The dream honeymoon just isn't happening. Not now. Not unless by some miracle, flights from Chicago to Hawaii in January drop to 500$ or less this week.
As I've blogged before, Hawaii has always been my dream honeymoon locale since I was 11 and my aunt Amy went. I'm not a big tropics person. I had a phase when I was 10 where I'd go swimming every day and lay out in the sun during those annoying adult swim breaks and read my book and I got really tan by default, but since then I've been pale...

The photos below are outtakes from a photo session I did for this article in DEMO Magazine. It was my first real photo shoot (probably my only ever photo shoot. I can't imagine photo shoots are a common thing for authors.) and I felt like I was on America's Next Top Model, mainly because it was freezing out (despite being early June) and I was incredibly sick and I still had to try to look fierce or pretty or something.
But the photographer, Chad McGavock was super cool and incredibly...

I know I made you guys wait all week and I'm sorry, it was just kinda busy, but I did get the haircut I was talking about on Monday's blog.


Well this is my version of it. The top wasn't long enough yet for my stylist to define it quite like the picture, but it should be by next time. I do love the asymmetrical thing.

Here's a close-up on the red, which I really like. I might do it all by itself next time. I'm also trying to decide it I want to add more color, like further back along my part of ...

Welcome to Women Who Rock Wednesday. Last week's winner of Pam Bachorz's amazing book CANDOR is...PepsiVanilla from Blogger. I will email you for your address shortly.
Today I have a very special, different version of Women Who Rock Wednesday to share with you. As some of you may know, I also write a column for my local newspaper, the Forest Park Review, which comes out roughly every three weeks. It comes out on a Wednesday and I'd thought it would be cool to do a local version of Women Who...

While I'm waiting to hear if my Zoe book will be picked up, I've started work on another book idea I've been kicking around for awhile. Zoe is not entirely written yet (only 50 pgs in, in fact), so it feels kinda weird to start a new project, but I used to write more than one thing at once and if I ever want to make some semblance of a living at this whole writing thing, I need to do more than one thing at a time so.... here I am trying to figure out how to write this new book.
The only...
