2nd Annual International Walk Like Beckett Day!

Fandom is a funny place. I had to share this with you because, though I am a fan of ABC’s Castle, I’m not *in* the Castle fandom, as in, I don’t hang out in the fandom communities, or write fanfic for the show. I have nothing against either activity–I write fanfic myself for some other shows, but Castle isn’t one of them. Probably because I don’t think I could do justice to the complexities of the cases, or the banter between the leads.

Tonight is the season premiere of Castle, which I am look...

Interview and Contest at Jessewave today!

*mops brow*

I've run around to every conceivable site and list that I belong to in order to announce this--shouting from the rooftops, so to speak!

I'm being profiled today at Jessewave, which means it's *your* turn to ask me the questions you've been dying to ask. Come, hit me with your questions--why I write what I do, what's the hardest part of my job, will I EVER write any of the promised sequels??

I'll do my best to tell something that resembles the truth while being entertaining too. :-)

Anyone leaving a comment or asking a question is in the running for the story of their choice from my backlist. So what have you got to lose? (Except precious moments of your time that you will never get back---Hmmmm. Think about it...)

Interview and a Contest on Jessewave this week!

You are probably tired of hearing about this by now. If you move in the same small circles as I do, you will know that I've been posting this *everywhere* I can think of!

I'm just so delighted to announce that I am going to be profiled this week on Jessewave. Such an honor, and I want everyone to come ask me your burning, discerning questions. Put me in the hot seat (as I try to sneakily answer your questions from work and hope no one notices)!

All the details here at my website--more to follow when the link goes live on Wed 5/16.

Contest and Interview on It's Raining Mentoday!
