Open Door

Wrote this ahead of time knowing, I'd be out of town, although by the time it posts, I'll be home and buried under heaps of laundry.

Anyway,I'm skipping a for real blog post and doing an open door…

Got any questions for me?  Publishing stuff, although I'm no where near the whiz some people are.  Series, story, whatever?

Fire away.  Just remember, if it's a question that might make good blog post fodder, I reserve the right to use it as such.  Otherwise, I'll pop b...

Magic Bleeds…Web of Lies…out today…

So it's no secret that I have become a complete and total sucker for the Kate Daniels books by Ilona Andrews.  Complete. Total. Sucker.  These books are just so awesome, though.

And the new one is due out today.

Magic Bleeds

Atlanta would be a nice place to live, if it weren't for the magic. When the magic is up, rogue mages cast their spells and monsters appear, while guns refuse to fire and cars fail to start. But then technology returns, and the magic recedes as unpredictably as it rose.

Not often

So it doesn't happen very often that I get struck dumb.

But Stacy managed it yesterday.

Saturday Snippets…a contemporary

Right now, this doesn't have a home just yet and I'm not sure what I'm doing with it.  I'm also posting this a few weeks in advance-we're going to be out of town on vacation, so I'm stockpiling my blogs.

If he was smart, he would have taken her with him when he left.

Or he would have written.

Would have tried to call back and talk to her.

If he was smart, he wouldn't have let her still have a hold on him after all this time.

"Jesse?"

Looking at his dad, he asked, "Yeah?"

"You okay?"

He gave the old m...

Book Run

So… with my trip coming up, I have to make sure I'm stocked up on books.  Yes, yes, I've got an entire case of books I'm still working on, but that isn't the point.  The point is… I'm going on vacation and I need to make sure I have books…

I'm reading this:

Jennifer sent it to me, it's out next week-first book is Spider's Bite-like UF?  Try it.  Loving these books.

At Waldenbooks, I picked up

I've been wanting to read Jill Myles since I saw her bio on twitter, which reads:

Veil of Shadows…excerpts & link-ity stuff

FYI, my brain is mush.  We leave on vacation on Wednesday, I'm trying to finish up edits on Veil, I'm fiendishly writing on the romantic suspense books, plus my next Grimm book and well… my brain is mush.

So instead of trying to be witty, clever and fascinating :OP, I'll just post a few interesting links, and an excerpt, and call it a day. Sound good?

In case you weren't around over the weekend, I've got a wicked cool contest-Ilona Andrews gave me a few copies of Magic Bleeds to give away. ...
