The Future of E-Publishing Has Arrived.

Apple's new iBooks program, available on the new iPad tablet (release date TBA). Penguin, among other publishers, are apparently ready to sell items in the new the iBook store.

I'm definitely going to need one of these. :)

Maybe pre-turnover in Navarre House, or at some flat in Paris?

Check out the storybook-like images on A Thing For.

Spectacular! Each cluster of images is its own tale . . . (Via Bright Bold Beautiful)

Congratulations . . .

. . . to Kristen H., the winner of the Cadogan House medal! Congratulations, Kristen!!
Thanks again to everyone who braved damp weather in Racine and Greenfield to come out for the signings! (And mark your calendars for August 22, 2010, when I'll make my return!)
I appreciate your support, and never fear--you know I love a good contest, so there will be more to come!!
[ FYI - In case anyone's curious, I entered the entries in an Excel spreadsheet, multiplied the entries accordingly to folks who...

Cadogan Medals - The First Look

Lisa absolutely outdid herself. Here are the two Cadogan medals I've had made--one for me, and one for the Wisconsin booksigning winner, which I'll announce later tonight!!!





Aren't they fabulous?!? This is definitely one of those--this whole publishing thing seems completely surreal--moments: An idea I had has become an actual, tangible thing (thanks, as is often the case, to the hard work of others).

I'm working on details for making the medals more widely available; I'll get that info up as s...

Who needs their own Cadogan medal? YOU do!

Calling all Chicagoland Vampires & Dark Elite fans in the Milwaukee and Chicago Areas!!

On Friday, I'll board a plane to Milwaukee for signings in one of my favorite American bookstores--the Barnes & Noble in Racine, WI--and a new favorite--the Barnes & Noble in Greenfield, WI--for a full Saturday of booksignings!

I'll be reading from FIRESPELL, discussing publishing, and signing copies of FIRESPELL and FRIDAY NIGHT BITES (and anything else you happen to bring in!)

And, more importantly, everyo...

Goings On

Hello, everyone! I'm just getting started on the second round of edits for Twice Bitten. So that I can work to become a TPA and make these edits impeccable and punctual, it may be slim pickins (sp?) on postings around here for the next few days.
In the meantime, have you checked out my recent Q&A's at Lauren's Crammed Bookshelf? Happy reading!

Characters tweeting?

I've been toying with the idea of letting Merit send out her own Tweets to the world. Any thoughts? Would you follow a character's Tweets?

Haiti Assistance - American Red Cross Donations

There's no doubt--times are economically tough. But the American Red Cross has set up a text message donation system, allowing you to donate $10 to their Haiti relief fund through your next phone bill. If you're interested in making a donation--or in learning about other ways that you can help out--please visit the American Red Cross web site.
If you have other Haiti assistance links or information to share, feel free to leave a comment!

Using Clipboards

There's a fun post on Desire to Inspire today collecting Flickr images of offices that use clipboards for organizing. If you're a writer (or a decorator, or scrapbooker, etc.), clipboards can be a great way to collect pictures, notes and clippings for a project.

You can find graphic clipboards at Target, or pressboard or aluminum models at your local office supply or superstore.
