Innovation – the "Mother" of Necessity

So, does anyone have any uses for a terrycloth bathrobe besides wearing it when you get out of the shower?

I do.

When your kids don't clear out the garbage disposal before setting the dishwasher to turn on and said dishwasher can't empty so it spews its water all over your kitchen floor, the terrycloth bathrobe is quite handy for sopping up the mess.

Of course that will leave you naked in your kitchen while you try to siphon the rest of the water from the dishwasher into bowls that you almost...

Well this made my day…

On www.SavvyReaders.com, Wild Blue Under was the Most Popular book this week.

Thanks to Liz Pelletier for letting me know, and for everyone who made it the most popular! Wow.

Also in my email today, Joey W. Hill gave me a lovely review of In Over Her Head.

Okay, next up, In Over Her Head by Judi Fennell. This book was such fun. We have a heroine who is water-phobic, who, through a series of mishaps, ends up having to spend time under the sea with a really hot merman. The opening to this book is...

Ocean View

Got this in an email from a friend of mine. She wanted to know which Mer brother this was. Your guess?

 

Ocean View

I have no idea how this works, I have never been that good at these optical illusion pictures!!!!�� But the friend who sent me this said if you stare at it long enough, you should be able to see the ocean.�� I tried for a while.�� I can't see any stupid ocean!

MerMountain Fantasy

You've heard about my Wombat friends – if not, grab one of my books and check the Acknowledgments page; they're all over the place! – and today, one of them, author Pat Bertram has stopped by with a very clever post! Thanks, Pat!

***

I feel a little out of my depth here — an inland dweller in the land of merfolk– but it made me think of the importance of setting. Since I've lived most of my life in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains, those mountains form the backdrop of my books, and because of...

Rod and Kyle: Uncensored After Dark

Rod Tritone, author Judi Fennell, author Stephanie Julian, Kyle Rossini

 

Scene: The overcrowded bar of a large hotel somewhere on the eastern seaboard. It's after midnight. There are mostly women talking, laughing and drinking. And drinking.

Rod Tritone rocks the no-longer-frosted beer mug in his hand, and keeps his head down. Those women have been eyeing him but he's happily married, and he's got the weight of the Mer world on his shoulders since he's just taken over the throne. A land-based...

Question: What Do Judi Fennell and Johnny Depp have in common?

Answer: They both created a character named Sparrow.

Call me Sparrow… Cap'n Sparrow.

Yes, I'm talking about the cute, little brown birds. But I'm also talking about the hot and sexy pirate played by Johnny Depp. Okay, the pirate's not so sexy (hot, in a rum-soaked-island-sun sort of way, yes, but not hot, as in sexy) but Johnny Depp sure was when he played Cap'n Jack.

And what in the world, you're wondering, do the two have in common?

Yes, there is a method to my...

Authors After Dark, and in the morning and during the day…

This past weekend I was in Suffern, NY at the Authors After Dark Readers Conference, and I had a blast! My books, both In Over Her Head, and Wild Blue Under, sold out at the booksigning, I did a workshop with the incomparable Joey W. Hill, participated on other panels, got to wear my fun blue ball gown (the one I wore when Fabio hugged me at RT 2 years ago), and got to meet so many fun people! And learned that I have fans! Always a nice thing to find

Here are the pictures from the...
