Here’s a lesson I recently learned. Never say Screw the timeline. I’m just going to write and figure it out after…
Therein lies madness. For you. For your editor. Especially if the book takes place over a short period of time. And in the book I’m working on now, though it has a much longer timeline, [...]

Recently, my library began offering digital library books through Overdrive. Because I have the nook and had already found success in using the dastardly Adobe Digital Editions to buy Harlequin’s ePub format directly from their ebookstore and move the books to my nook, I rejoiced.
They don’t have a huge selection, but I’m sure they’ll add [...]

But not always in a straight, well-balanced manner, so I was “volunteered” to take the pick-up in for a wheel balancing and front-end alignment. This didn’t exactly break my heart since VIP has a sign advertising free wi-fi and a guilt-free hour of sitting on my butt playing with my iPod Touch isn’t the worst [...]
