This clever pic nabbed from my friend & fellow Mermaid Robin Covington: Speaking of Mermaids, have you stopped by the website this week? There’s more free fiction up — parts one and two of “The Comfort Boy” by Carlene Love Flores is now available for your Very Free viewing pleasure. Can’t beat that price!
A lot of people have introduced themselves to me in my lifetime. I just have one of those faces. I look like someone you knew or really liked in grade school or high school or college. It’s my hair or my smile or my something that just sparks a memory. Even Malik Yoba swore we’d met before, but I’m…
Did you notice? That’s right — up there at the top of the website, in front of the Dream-Haired Girl, there are now TWO AlphaOops covers. You know what that means?

(I hear there are some other pretty decent authors in this anthology as well. Like this Neil Something.) All you have…
Maybe you missed it last year. Or you didn’t happen to love me then as much as you do now. Whatever the reason, IT’S OKAY. You can still purchase the special Shroud Halloween Issue guest edited by Kevin Lucia. This issue has my story “Red Lantern” in it, which is…not so much a retelling; more of an homage…to the…
Much to my dismay (and yours, I know), ENCHANTED won’t be out in stores until May 8th of 2012. It seems like a long time to wait, doesn’t it? Of course, in this day and age, we have a lot of other ways to get our fix for books we can’t wait to read (like Tamora Pierce’s and Robin…
Jo Ramsey kindly invited me to do a guest post over at her blog today. I was welcome to do whatever I wanted — song, dance, juggling, blog about my life, blog about writing, or do an interview with one of my characters.
