What? Another New Intern?
Yes, that’s what I said: we have TWO interns this summer! Meet Rachel Gorin, who will be working us primarily at the bookstore but also with RHP – we’re very excited to have her help with advertising, marketing, book events, and special projects at the store. She’ll also be helping out with proofreading, editing, and […]

Dystopia, Part II
Yesterday, I talked about REDUCED. So, did you read it yet? Huh? Didja? Sorry, I tend to get a little carried away sometimes. Probably because of that post, and the follow-up I have today, my sleep was plagued with a few strange dreams. Nothing new there, especially a couple of recurring ones, like the one […]

Dystopian Fiction
What the heck is it? A lot of people don’t know – I didn’t even know until I wrote Reduced and Reused. Oh, sure, obviously dystopia is the opposite of utopia, but as for genre, it’s hard to say if it falls under science fiction or suspense or both or neither. Here’s a general definition: […]

Prep Monday
I talked a little about prepping a couple months ago and, sorry to say, haven’t revisited the topic. But, since I do speak on getting ready for… whatever… I thought I’d share a few of my personal plans. And these are things anyone can do too, no special requirements involved. I’m not a hardcore […]

Four Letter Words is Coming!
Reblogged from Charlotte Howard: Yup, you read right! The sequel to SEVEN DIRTY WORDS will be available in the early part of 2014. I know that seems a long way off, but it means you have ample time to go and read the first part of Paige Holmes' story. SDW has received mixed reviews so […]

I want to introduce our new summer intern, who will be working with us from now until August. She’ll be working on manuscript selection, editing, marketing, and book launches, plus some social media and website work. I’ll let her tell you more, but want to add that she’ll be posting here on a regular basis […]

Fiction or Prediction?
So, I have a plan: Thursdays are book days, as in my own books, REDUCED and REUSED. [blink] That’s as far as I’ve gotten. Okay, okay, I’ll give it my best shot – we writers aren’t always adept at promoting our own stuff. But here are some reasons you should read REDUCED (and REUSED and, […]

How to Get Good Books
As you know, if you haven’t been living under a rock and/or if you follow my blog at all, RHP has a new book coming out in a couple weeks – INNspiring Breakfasts! It’s awesome, it’s amazing, and you can pre-order it NOW. Trust me, it’s worth it! And, next Wednesday, you’ll be hearing from […]

Copyright for Writers
Reblogged from Writerlious: It occurred to me, as a lawyer-slash-writer, that it might be useful to have a post on copyright. As many of my loyal readers are also writers, I thought I would devote this week’s post to sharing some useful tips and information about intellectual property law with you. Many writers are concerned […]
