There’s a lively debate going on over at dearauthor.com about writers not posting on reader blogs. It’s an interesting discussion and I’ve commented a couple of times, but this one’s long.
Quite often when authors express a reluctance to jump into the reader’s end of the pool, we’re asked “Well, aren’t you still readers, too?”
Yes […]

Okay, where was I?
Lost: This show jumped the shark when they blew the hatch, but my husband still makes me watch it. I miss the polar bear and the freaky black cloud, and they’ve diluted the story by having way too many characters now.
Shark: (I forget what night this is on.) It’s […]

The Amazing Race: Still number one at Casa Stacey. We’re enjoying the all-star season, even though several of the teams do NOT deserve the title. The casting has nothing to do with being an all-star and everything to do with stirring the personality pot. We were disappointed that our favorite “fat bastards” from […]

I was kind of drawing a blank on a blog topic, so I figured I’d blog about TV.
Then I found out some stupid bitch whose ass I’d like to kick all over the freakin’ internet is giving away one of my books for free to anybody who cares to download it. Yes, this is the […]

Yesterday we made the trek to Maine for a joint birthday party for Nephew #3 and Nephew #4. #3 turned 3 and #4 turned 2. Whew. I’m going to need an Excel spreadsheet once my brother’s fiance has Nephew #5, which would be #1 for him. Calling him #5 makes him sound […]

I’m a little behind on site stuff…:tomato:…but I did get the beginnings of a page for Taming Eliza Jane up.
Here’s the blurb I wrote for it (subject to change):
Taming Eliza Jane
An historical western romantic comedy
Coming 6/12/07 from Samhain Publishing
When a man sets out to tame a strong-willed woman, he’d best hang on to his hat. […]

Sometimes it just all comes together.
I was tweaking a scene from Taming Eliza Jane, pondering the fate of the chickens and listening to my mp3 player. All of a sudden, BAM! The scene, the fate of the chickens, a secondary character and a song all came together in one book. TEJ was supposed to stand […]

Shan: What the hell’s going on here? One minute I’m writing a love scene and in the next we’ve skipped to you holding a shotgun on the sheriff.
Eliza Jane: It seemed like the thing to do at the time.
Shan: But there’s nothing at all in your background to suggest you can wield […]

Thirteen Places I’ve Lived (and a milestone or two from each)
1. Wareham, Massachusetts: A milestone? Umm…birth.
2. Witchita Falls, Texas: My uncle threw me into the deep end of the pool to “teach” me to swim, turning a mild fear of water into terror.
3. A couple of towns outside Langley […]

I went to Walmart today to get the boys LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy for PS2, and I took a detour through the book aisle. I know it’s way too early, but I was hoping Lover Revealed would be there. Again, I know it’s too early. I’m pre-stalking, I guess.
Instead, I […]
