TWITTER 101

If you've seen that ubiquitous little bluebird flitting around the internet or heard some television reference to "tweeting", "tweet-ups" or "twantrums", you may be wondering what the latest internet craze is all about.
TWITTER is a new form of social media where everyone communicates in sound bytes of 140 characters or less. Some call it micro-blogging, some call it haiku for the semi-literate and others just call it thinking out loud. Personally, I adore Twitter for several reasons:

MEET THE GUY TERESA DOES NEARLY EVERY DAY

If we're going to be honest with each other, I thought it was time to introduce you to the guy who REALLY has my heart. That's right--Richard Simmons! Richard first saved my life about 15 years ago when I suffered a severe back injury after being body-slammed across the footboard of a hospital bed by a psychotic patient.

3) Bars are a great place to meet authors and editors. Order yourself a club soda and lime and go cruising!

4) Don't drink too much at RWA. Some authors are scary sober. Drunk they can

AAARGH MATEY! TIPS FOR REMOVING PIRATED BOOKS FROM WEBSITES

First of all, I'd like to thank my wonderful readers, who are the first line of defense in preventing book piracy on the high seas of cyberspace. (A special shout out to my dear friends Irene Mercado and Kim Castillo!)

Unless you're Jean Valjean in LES MISERABLES and need a loaf of bread to feed your family, there's never any excuse or justification for stealing. And that's what downloading pirated copies of books is...stealing. It's no different from someone coming to your office or workplace a

Medeiros and Enoch on Star Trek vs Star Wars

Last year at RWA, Avon gave Suzanne Enoch and I the chance to embrace our inner geeks and fan the flames of our rivalry over Star Trek vs. Star Wars. This was the result.
