…review blogs that get you hooked, then more or less stop reviewing books in favor of other amusements?
…this Gossip Girls book I decided to read as a foray into the modern YA and the fact that the high school seniors keep going into bars and getting served drinks? (And my involuntarily arched eyebrow only […]

We’re back!

Monday, May 29th, 2006

We got in almost 60 miles of riding. That may not sound like much until you consider this was the tall kid’s first time out on the trails with his 90, and our average speed was seven. miles. per. hour. And OMG, the bug bites! But we had a blast. Here […]

Until Monday

Thursday, May 25th, 2006

We’re heading out right after school, but I’m so behind in my gear-gathering, I’m checking out early. I’ll be spending the better part of tomorrow looking for my copy of the “Bump in the Night” anthology with the new In Death novella.

The dotted line

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

I signed a contract today for a novella with Samhain. It’s a…hmm…erotic dark paranormal, I guess you could call it? I’m really excited about this story, and I’ll get details on it up eventually.

Peekaboo

Monday, May 22nd, 2006

I guess my site’s back up. For how long is the question. My tall kid just left for 5 days of camp and my father had a medical procedure this morning, so my hosting company does not want a WTF phone call from me today. Just ask the guys who were supposed […]

You mean…it’s not true?

Saturday, May 20th, 2006

As one might expect during The DaVinci Code premiere weekend, here in NH, it’s all Dan Brown, all the time. No coverage of our Golden Child is complete, however, without footage of his detractors. A frequently seen sign:
“It’s all a lie!”
Well…no shit, Sherlock.
