Congrats to Lexi George, Coreene Callahan...and, Yeah, Me! (Win a box o' books)
In the world of romance, there are some very awesome contests and awards, and in all but one, an author has to enter in order to become a finalist. That includes the Oscar of the genre world, the Romance Writers of America's RITA award. This isn't a post about that.If Rita is the Oscar, I'd say the Reviewer's Choice Awards from RT Book Reviews magazine are the Golden Globes. Nominations are made, and the ultimate winner chosen, by the magazine staff from the more than 3,000 books they've cove...

I Crawl Out of the Writing Cave with Weekly Winners
Man, what a brutal two weeks this has been! Thanks to the guest authors who've pitched in while I was buried...sorry I had a no-show author-who-shall-not-be-named on Friday.
What have I been up to? Well, I had a 30-day online workshop I was teaching on plotting. After the first of the year, once I (I hope) migrate to my new website, I'll be offering periodic workshops on my site as soon as I can figure out how to set up a private "room" for them. There will eventually be sessions for both writ...

Drunken #Vampires? (But Drunk on What?) With Amber Belldene and #Win a Book
Quick programming note (or something like that). This past weekend was the awesome annual Reader's Luncheon for the Southern Magic chapter of RWA. I haven't had a chance to blog about it (pics coming Sunday!), but Jeaniene Frost had a great post about it. I never had a chance to remind her of our only meeting, when we were on a panel together and everything I opened my mouth to speak, this woman's cell phone "rang" in the "mehhhhh....mehhhhhh" of a bleating goat. It's my claim to...<![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]>
