Glad to be home…
No truer words were ever spoken. Okay, well, maybe truer ones, but at this moment, nope. I am very glad to be home from Authors After Dark. I am very glad to not be living out of a suitcase. I am very glad to have my own shower and bedroom. I am very glad to [...]

In the meantime…
Yesterday was an emotional, topsy-turvy day and if you missed my tweet/Facebook update about it, don't worry, I'll talk more about it here soon.

What books? What authors? What genre? What has you turning pages and pulling out your credit cards or pushing that 'Buy Now with 1-click' button? What's filling up your bookshelves, virtual or physical? I want something that leaves me breathless… What have you got for me? ~lissa
