Conversation with the heroine…

Friday, September 30th, 2005

of The Widowmaker…
Lydia: He can’t talk to me like that.
Me: Oh, don’t go trying that maidenly miss thing with me. I know your deep, dark secret, remember? So don’t expect me to believe that you’d be all up on your high horse because he said :censor:.
Lydia: No, he can’t […]

Speaking of TSTL…

Thursday, September 29th, 2005

If you’re going to plagiarize somebody’s book—with merely a find & replace name change—should you:
A) At least change the title?
B) Not also copy and paste the actual publisher’s blurb?
C) At least not use N*Sync? C’mooooooon.
Blatant theft found here (I don’t know how long the link will work. The whole shebang […]

The 24 clock is ticking in my head

Thursday, September 29th, 2005

6 days until Twice Upon A Roadtrip releases! I’m all a’jitter and can’t seem to sit still.
This is not necessarily a bad thing. We have a gas fireplace-stove-thingy in my office which “takes the edge off” the downstairs and, due to its high-effiency, complements our boiler quite well. Unfortunately, massive summer-grown piles […]

…which is good because we’re going camping Columbus Day weekend and we always need paper for starting the campfire. But anyway…
All the RITA and Golden Heart info is in there. That’ll be the first section to be set on fire. *g* Even disregarding the entire hostility-toward-erotic-romance thing, Twice Upon A Roadtrip […]

On the road again

Sunday, September 25th, 2005

We’re off on our own mini-roadtrip to Maine for my nephew’s birthday party. It’s not too bad—two hours over, eat cake, two hours back. It’s going to set me back a bit on my to do list, but with first frost forecast for sometime this week, we won’t be getting together as often […]

More about my cover

Saturday, September 24th, 2005

I’m still madly in love with my cover. And not just because it’s sexy as hell. You know, in my ever so humble and ojective opinion. *g* I’m just totally blown away by it. And in a no-doubt-rambling manner, here’s a big reason why:

Wednesday, September 21st, 2005

Lunch. […]
