Head to Maitland, Florida in September! I’ll be appearing as an author guest at theSpeculative Fiction: Southeast convention!

This is going to be fun! The last time I was a writer guest at a con, it was at Gencon in 2004! I’m very much looking forward to seeing Jacqueline Carey again.

Wow.

One of these days, someone is going to pinch me, and I’m going to wake up. Because I simply cannot believe that I get to live this life. I mean, I must have been extra special good the last time around or��something to deserve this! First, we have House of Sable Locks being named a modern erotic classic. And now, this just happened:

This may very well be my first ever top 20 anything, and it’s for The Rape of Persephone.

Here’s the list in picture form:

Today was the third grade field trip. 120 8-and-9-year-old kids went to Legoland, and I had charge of two eight-year-old boys all day (one mine, one borrowed). Really, we had a BLAST. The Legend of Chima ride involves waterguns, and many truth in advertising warnings that you WILL get soaked. The Dragon roller coaster wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be — roller coasters and I don’t get along, but this one was actually fun.

Focus? What’s that?

So, today, my husband and I were on our way to lunch. We’re sitting at a red light, waiting for the light to change.

WHAM!

We were rear-ended by the car behind us, and the woman who looked old enough to be God’s grandmother. She let her foot off the brake and rolled into us.

Cops were called. Information was exchanged. Tickets were issued — to God’s Granny, who was solely at fault. Insurance was called. For a fender bender, it’s a relatively innocuous one — the damage to my car is minor enough t...

Award season again!

And again, I’ve been nominated for a Bisexual Book Award!

This time, it’s not just me, but the entire talented list of authors that make up the anthology Bi-Magic, from Forbidden Fiction! Kudos to all of us!!!

New Year, New Novel!

Okay. Today’s the day.

The kiddo is back to school, the husband is back to work. I have a synopsis and everything is set in Scrivener. Look, I’m going to write the thing!

Hey… wait… what do you mean it’s 2:30???? But… I only��wrote five words!
