Happy Thanksgiving

Thursday, November 27th, 2008

Yeah, I know it’s almost noon and everybody’s already snuck in their bloghopping for the day, but I’m a little emotional today and kept shying away from the computer lest I sob all over y’all.
The list of things I have to be thankful for would surpass even the most hardy bandwidth, but I am give [...]

Insanity…I has extra (and a PSA)

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

It’s only 8:30 and I’ve already been knee-deep in techno problems. The TV and PS3 are flipping me the “not supported mode” finger. After cycling through so many menus and settings I’ve probably screwed the TV for regular TV watching, no dice. I’m thinking (almost hoping, as much as they cost) that the HDMI cable [...]

Heading into the weekend

Friday, November 21st, 2008

Two projects going on—
1) I’m working on a short story y’all will find out about in the near future, and I’ll be wrapping that up hopefully today so I can edit it, proof it and ship it by the end of the weekend. It’s coming in at 4k, I think, and I’ve really enjoyed [...]

Manhunter by Loreth Anne White

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

Sergeant Gabriel Caruso arrived in the remote Yukon wilderness with one goal: to erase all memories of the serial killer who had ruined his life. But he soon discovered that the madman was hot on his heels—and after anything that touched Gabe’s heart. Including local tracker Silver Karvonen.
As Silver plotted with Gabe to stop their [...]

The real Shan

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

I finally caved and there is an actual photograph of me on my bio page. It’s far from a professional headshot—the Short Kid and I were screwing around with my cellphone camera—but it’s the first picture in probably fifteen years I’ve liked. Maybe it was the photographer.
And, of course, the second picture is actually my [...]

The Asus Enigma put to bed

Monday, November 17th, 2008

So I’ve desperately wanted an Asus for a while (because my monster Toshiba weighs as much as my car—honest), with my desire reaching a fevered pitch when Dear Author posted about Best Buy dropping its price to $280. Poor Angie, Jaci and Mandy have suffered through my trying to wrap my head around the sixteen [...]

A shiny review!

Monday, November 17th, 2008

I got the most fabulous review for Becoming Miss Becky over the weekend! Cherokee at Coffee Time Romance says:

Oh my goodness, this book was a grabber the minute after I read the first page. Not only is the dialogue to die for, but I instantly warmed up to the characters. Adam is a wonderful [...]

The days of Shan's lives

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

Past life regression fascinates me in an I don’t know much about it, but it sounds wicked cool kind of way. One thing I’ve heard a few times is that if you have an overwhelming, yet irrational, fear of something for which there’s no logical explanation, it probably stems from something that happened in a [...]
