Happy New Year!
The Year of the Dragon is upon us. My twins were originally due to be dragons, but they were impatient to see the world so I was blessed with two little kittens–like their mother. Daniel & Mae Linh have graduated from their isolettes into cribs and are nearly the size of full term babies now. [...]

Calling all unusual historical authors

Ruby Sisters' Winter Writing Festival
The Ruby-Slippered Sisterhood Winter Writing Festival starts today and goes for 50 days. During last year's writing fest, I finished My Fair Concubine, which is going to be a June 2012 release.

Romantic short stories: Say Something
Do you want to know how much I love short stories? There are short stories they used to have in those grade school readers that I still remember to this day. I used to be thoroughly engaged by those snippets they'd have in the standardized reading comprehension tests in school. I know it's not for [...]

News from the Bedside
Rather than news from the Desk of Jeannie Lin. As my Recent Update states, I've been on "hiatus" — more specifically bedrest as I incubate my little twins. I sincerely don't want the blog to turn into a personal journal of my everyday ramblings or a baby blog, which is why I chose instead to [...]
