Autographing Digital Books
It is no secret that I love my ebook reader. I own 996 ebooks at this present time. They take up no shelf space at all. No dusting required. Yes, I still have bookcases in every room of the house and still own a lot of physical books, but my transition to digital reading has been a resounding success.
If you own an ebook reader, did you know you can get autographs for my books for your ebook reader? No, it isn’t quite the same as having me sign the title page in your print copy, but if you rea...

All in Good Time by Maureen Lang
And for Monday, April 1st: the e-book is still free!
A Note from Maureen:
New releases are always exciting! I was just telling my husband that THIS book is my favorite, but he’s noticed I say that about every new release. Well, this one really is holding a special place in my heart. I think authors, like parents with their children, love each book for certain reasons. For me, the hero inAll In Good Timeis my special reason. He starts out as such a curmudgeon I just couldn’t wait to soften him u...

Fun on Goodreads.com
If you love to read (since you’re reading this blog post, I’m pretty sure that you do), then Goodreads.com is a fun place to be. I’ve been a member on the site for a couple of years, but it’s only in recent months that I’ve gotten serious about using it. It’s been great fun to see my list of “read” books grow. And I’m always finding new books to add to my “to read” shelf. (So many books, so little time.)
This year, I joined the 2013 Reading Challenge. I am not a fast reader the way so many fol...

Hooked on Firefly
Okay, I know that I am very late to this party. Firefly was a one-season, 14-episode series on Fox back in 2002. Later, they made a movie calledSerenity. I tried to watch the movie once, years ago, not knowing it should followFirefly. It didn’t make sense to me, and I gave up.
But writers love “story” and “characters” and when they discover a great story and/or great characters in TV shows or movies, they like to talk about it. So my friends got to talking aboutFirefly awhile back. Someone men...

Jeannette Rankin, First Woman in Congress
In the days of my youth, we didn’t study women’s history as a unique subject. For that matter, I don’t remember that we spent much time at all on the suffrage movement or passage of the 19th Amendment. When the idea for Catching Katie came to me, I began researching suffragettes and what they went through to win the right to vote. I think of all of the research I have ever done, the research I did for Catching Katie impacted me the most.(The research proved handy for a later novel as well,A V...
