Live Chat Tonight--Join Me!


I'll be over at the Savvy Authors website tonight for a live chat (as opposed to a dead chat?) about time-management. It's only an hour, from 9-10 Eastern (8-9 Central), and is free. You do need to register, but there's no cost involved. Click HERE for info.

I have my fingers in a lot of cookie jars these days, so how to maximize writing time and blogging and promotional activities is a big concern for me right now. Hope to see you in the chat room!

Royal Street: Annotations--New Chapter!


On Wednesdays through June, I'm doing annotations for Royal Street by chapter (for past chapters, click on the tab). Today, we're looking at inspiration, trivia, and other tidbits from Chapter 8.

THE BOOK CLUB IS COMING BACK! I'm looking at options for restarting the Wednesday Preternatura Book Club, although I might structure it a bit differently this time. What do you want to read? I'd prefer the first book of a series...throw out some ideas in the comments section!

CHAPTER 8

Susannah is a native of Alabama, but has also lived in Illinois, Texas, California, and Louisiana, working in higher education. Redemption is the first in a...

New Releases June 10-16 and Reader's Choice C*ntest


Feast or famine! After last week’s insanely huge list of new releases, things are quite snail-like this week although there’s at least a mix of genres, from YA to paranormal romance to urban fantasy. AND since it’s a small week, if you find a release from another genre coming out this week you’d like to request, just leave it in your comment.
As always, leave a comment telling me the book here you’d most like to win, and maybe random.org will make your wishes come true. International, true tha...
