I’ve learned so many things while launching Enchanted — I’m still learning. And not all of these things are good. Pop on over to the Waterworld Mermaids blog today, where I discuss the “Snakes and Snails” of launching a book. And please feel free to add to “Princess Alethea’s Fairly Short List of Things No One Tells You When…
The trouble with going on book tour when your book comes out is that all these wonderful things happen online when you’re on the road! So, in no particular order: ******************* Look Ma! I’m on stage directly after Neil Gaiman! Here is the online recording of the Nebula Awards Ceremony — I show up around 1:12:00, right after Neil…
New reviews are up at Intergalactic Medicine Show! I’m off for the next two months while on book tour — in the meantime, my review column will be usurped by my dear friend and fellow Codexian Jamie Todd Rubin. I for one am really looking forward to his reviews–which have a decidedly more sci-fi flavor. I’m hoping that after…
Anthology Bulder is this really cool website, created several years ago by my friend & fellow Codexian Nancy Fulda. For only $14.95, you can create your own anthology from a vast archive of previously published stories form your favorite authors…or authors you’d like to try out. Going to a convention? Create a custom anthology of guests who will be…

…but she wasn’t a Berning yet. In honor of Fairy Godmothers’ Day, I present to you a page from the history book of one of my own Fairy Godmothers. At the age of 16, Carol traveled to Miami Beach, Florida with her family and sang “I Wish You Love” on the Ted Mack Amateur Hour show (brought to you…
I have just spoken to my dear fairy godmother at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt–she reassured me that this restructuring is actually cause for celebration, and so I would like to pass this reassurance on to you, my friends & family. Things at this particular publisher have indeed been a mess ever since the Houghton Mifflin and Harcourt merger back in…
Dear friends and family: If you order any of my books off Amazon, please use these links. As part of the Amazon Associates program, I get a (very small) kickback from advertising fees. I turn that $$ into Amazon Gift Cards, which I use to purchase more inventory to have on hand while I travel (in case the bookstores…
Some GREAT pics from the book signing last night, courtesy of my fellow mermaid and lovely assistant, Carlene Love Flores (and super-salesman, Aidan)! There were bubbles and little girls and fairy wands galore! Check out the rest of the album here.
As we get ready for the THIEFTESS release on…
