Guest what?
So I was just reminded that I usually do 'guest' something or other in the summer. I've done guest toes a couple times. Guest gardens. Guest desks. What would be something fun that you'd like to see your favorite author guest with? Guest computer desktop? Get a peek at their screensavers or current work in progress? Guest book shelves? Get a glimpse of their favorite reads?
I'm open for suggestions!

Names, love 'em and judge 'em
What really is in a name? Do we make judgments on people based on their names? Be truthful, if you haven't yet met a person, but are going to meet them—and have their name—you decide something about that person before even seeing them, yes? Bob may be plain and to the point. A Rachel may be attractive but not all there. Maybe?
What about after you've met the person?
As you may know I've been trying to think of a new name for the hero of Her Vampire Husband. He started out as Henri. To me,

A nice move
I got revisions today for Her Vampire Husband. I normally don't get revision letters for my Nocturnes because we usually catch any necessary changes in edits. But—and here's the cool part—this story, which was originally scheduled to come out this November as the third book in the Wicked Games trilogy, has now been pushed back to April 2010. And I'm cool with that! Yes, even though I've printed up 5000 bookmarks with that Nov. date and have already given most away. Why am I cool with it?

Angels in kilts
Does this image work for you?
Yeah, it does for me too. A man in a kilt. You wouldn't think it would be sexy, but— Oh. Man.
So I started drafting out book #3 of the Angels and Demons series (deftly avoiding book #2, because I don't have a clue for that one). Got chapter one done yesterday, and on to chapter two today. I wanted the opening image of a man in a kilt. But modern times. And the hero just sort of took on Gerard's looks too. Nothin' wrong with that. At all. I found this great

Cars, faeries and missing cheesecake.
The weekend was a successful one. On Friday night and Saturday afternoon I did book signings for FAERIES GONE WILD, along with Leandra and Lois. Great turnouts. It was a good time. Then on Monday we did the drive-by signing thing. Starting at 8 in the morning and I didn't get home until 7. We drove a circle around the Twin Cities, stopping into any bookstore we could find, and signing their stock. We even hit a few Targets, despite my fears that security would haul us out for defacing the
