Mrs. G does 72 HOURS

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

Mrs. Giggles has put up her her review of 72 Hours, the first book in the Devlin Group series. It received an 88, which is one point higher than the score she gave On the Edge, though I don’t think the review itself is…as positive.
There were a couple of places where I regressed back […]

Look what I got!

If you’re looking for Ezmerelda…

…she is running amok on Sybil’s blog!
And by running amok, I mean giving away my books!
GASP!
So go see what happens when a sulky muse doesn’t get to go to RT.

Thursday Thirteen #10

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

Thirteen Things I’ve Pondered in the Last 24 Hours:
1. How can such a tiny splinter cause so much pain?
2. Is the pickle scene from Taming Eliza Jane in the wrong place, arc-wise?
3. Holy crap! On the Edge is eligible in the novella category of the RITAs! (It’s just shy of 40k.) […]

Openingitis revisited

Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

On November 26, 2005, I posted a blog entry entitled Openingitis in which I whined about how hard it is to write the opening scene of a book. I had stumbled across one of my favorite openings, from a book I’d set aside because westerns were dead.
It totally, totally rocks my world this book—Taming […]

Left Behind…with kids

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

It seems like half the world’s off to RT or off preparing for RT. I, of course, am left behind. And to top it off, we’re not quite halfway through April vacation.
My. Kids. Are. Driving. Me. Mad.
How can two children even be awake enough to play Star Wars Battlefront at 7am, never […]

The education of a child

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

We were in the grocery store this afternoon and I had a “Mmm…Twinkies!” moment. The short kid asked what a Twinkie was.
GASP!
How could the short kid be six and a half and not have had a Twinkie? (The tall kid didn’t like the one he had when he was like…3, and he has […]

Sunshine, suds and scratches…oh my

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

We went from snow to high 70s, with mid-80s forecast for today. Goodbye winter, hello summer! Spring? We don’t need no steenkin spring.
After having neglected it slightly, I was forced to give my rosa rugosa a drastic trimming this weekend. If you’ve ever done that, you know I now bear a […]

Hot dayum

Friday, April 20th, 2007

At long last, Mrs. Giggles had reviewed one of my books. (I might have helped it along.)
And…ohmigod! 87!
Here’s that little intro bit she does (because I want to keep it and those intro bits go away with her next update):
Nicely paced with some of the coolest action scenes ever, plus with a rare capable […]
