I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck.Not surprising — it’s my normal reaction to having my sleep schedule thrown off. The last time this happened was New Year’s Day. It was worth every moment then, too. Like many events in my life, I didn’t know how much I needed that Foo Fighters concert until I was there…
For a change of pace, my fellow Genre Chick Janet turned the tales and did a fun little interview with *me* about Sherrilyn Kenyon and my work on The Dark-Hunter Companion.
This is so cool… In the Amazing Kontis Sisters’ continuing effort to one-up each other, Sami got a nod on NPR yesterday. She and Ian were best friends growing up — the Chillags lived across the lake from us in South Carolina. (Hi, Ian!)
You know, after the mad rush to get to the end of that godforsaken year and the insane crush of work I leapt into the moment 2008 hit, I hadn’t given much thought to my birthday.

Well, la-dee-da! I won “Blog for a Beer” yesterday on Fantasy Friday! It was a quick and fun little break…winning was just a bonus. Every single word of this actually happened. Today, I bought Patty some flowers with my winnings. ********************************** Patty fainted at work today. She was at the fax machine before she wandered over to Linda’s cubicle…
Semisonic. You know the song. Number 31, baby.They say you should act your age, not your ranking. In this case, I guess it’s moot. I am thankful for all of my friends who made this happen…and my parents, who made me.The picture says it all. If you’re in the US, have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Everyone else, just have a…
