I have a migraine today. Not fun. We’re going to see the Adam Ezra Group in Roanoke tonight, though, so hopefully it will pass by then. I’m armed with Starbucks & Imitrex, and Joe’s driving. In the meantime, I’m giving away boxes of books on Twitter. Go tell me your favorite genre, so I know which hat to put…
It was the first Tori Amos concert I’ve ever been to that I didn’t know all the songs. That was weird. Inevitably, though, there was one song she sang that I didn’t realize I needed to hear until the lyrics gave me goosebumps. “Winter” is a good song, but it probably wouldn’t be on my Top 20 list of…
I just got a Google Alert. I clicked on it, because I thought it was odd that “Ken Griffey Shoes” would be reviewing AlphaOops: H is for Halloween. But stranger things have happened…maybe Ken has a kid who loves books? Everybody has a kid who loves books! So I click through to this blog whose header is a lone…
I have saved almost everything I’ve ever written. Fiction, I mean, or poetry, or essays for school, for pleasure, and everything in between. I have several drafts of some things.

Charlie added the comment that the article should have been addressed to other men, with an emphasis on how to…
Also on my to-do list: New Princess Alethea reviews are up over at IGMS! (It *says* October, but they really mean November.) Title: The False Princess Author: Eilis O’Neal EAN: 9781606840795 As a Princess, I am always drawn to books with the word “Princess” in the title. I’m usually disappointed when I read the jacket copy. I was…
If you’re one of those folks who likes to know little background DVD-extras for novels, this one’s for you. At the end of the acknowledgments for ENCHANTED, I thank the Adam Ezra Group because I wrote most of the acknowledgements while waiting for their show to start at the 8×10 club in Baltimore, MD. I told the guys that…
Things got busy and the to-do list got longer, and this item sat up at the top, happily ignored until the Fairy Godboyfriend said, “Hey, did you ever upload those pics from the Maryland Renaissance Festival?” So now I have. And I’m glad I did, because there are some really great pics here. Hooray for iPhones! We went on…
