Recently on Twitter (I seem to be on Twitter a lot while I’m writing fiction–it’s quick and easy) a bunch of us were discussing reviewers who blatantly ask for free books, and the value of such reviews. Since then, I’ve been mulling over how to respond to these folks. Because according to some of my considerably more published friends,…
When Bitten By Books asked me if I would like to do a guest post, Rachel and I bounced some ideas back and forth.

Two things to note: 1.) When I am not programming (or shopping), I will be with Janet K. Lee at her table in Artists’s Alley. We will have lots…
You know I’ve been working on it, and those of you who saw me on book tour this summer got the scoop, but the stars have finally aligned and I can officially make the announcement: Harcourt has signed me on to do two more books in the Enchanted series!!! And there was much rejoicing. *snoopy dance* ************ PRESS RELEASE:…
