A cool signing

A writer just never knows what kind of signing you're going to have.  I've got to admit, I didn't know if I was expecting to sell more than a couple of books when I had my signing yesterday in Louisville at the Booksamillion.  Why?

Well…a successful signing can depend on a few things.

Are you a huge name?  I am not.  I'm working toward it.  But I am not huge.Is the weather nice?  Do. Not. Laugh.  I'm serious!  A nice day?  It can be a death knell.  Saturday was a REALLY NICE DAY.Is there a...

on authors, peoples, mistakes, the internet…

Okay, so first up, I'm doing something I rarely do-turning off comments.  Why?  Because I've seen how some of the threads that never die have lit up and sometimes, particularly in a few instances, the comments become less than…well, civil.  I try to keep things civil here-as this is a blog for my readers to hang out and they aren't always going to hang out in a place where things get nasty.  Since I dunno if I can rely on people to remain civil, and since I'm not inclined to play babysitter w...

The Friday 56

Huh.  Saw this idea last week, and since I already had a Friday post then, decided to do it this week.  And well, the closest book I had to me was one of mine…the Missing.  Why?  Well, I'm thinking about doing another book in that world and have out it had for that. ;o)

The Book:

Inside the screened-in porch, Taige and Cullen lay on a worn quilt, wrapped in each other's arms and not talking at

The Friday 56 idea came from… This is What I Have to Say

I haz news… :)

So I have been in quiet agony for the past few weeks

Yes, despite the fact that I gripe on twitter about my cardio, and bitch (incessantly it seem, I'm sure) about pirates here, I can suffer silently sometimes. I promise.  O_O

Why have I been in agony?

Because a while back I sent in a proposal for three new books to my editor at Berkley.  And I've been waiting.  And waiting. And waiting…

Anybody who knows me well, personal friends, my agent, my editors, they will tell you that one thing I suck

Today… I am a little LESS all over the place…

I think.

Will actually try to work some today, but we'll have to see how that goes…

In the meantime, I'm going to be guestblogging at Wicked Little Pixie...talking about…hmmm.  I forget.  The two of us often forget together. (In case the link is wonky, she's got it set to go live @ 9am EST…which means if it's not live, I figured the time wrong)

A file thing with the ebook version of BROKEN

Apparently there is something up with the ebook files of BROKEN-I'm not sure what's going on, but there was a problem.  I'm checking with my publisher about it.  Once I know something, I'll post an update.


I'm so sorry, guys…
