No matter which side of the pond you live on, today was 10.10.10. FGB and I didn’t *need* to drive past this road today on our way home from our friends’ wedding in NC, but it wasn’t too far out of the way. And this picture needed to happen.
A lovely FOUR STAR review just in for AlphaOops: H is for Halloween— this one from The Examiner in Charleston, South Carolina. Heather Keuhl, Charleston Paranormal Fiction Examiner (how would you like THAT on your business cards?) says: AlphaOops! H is for Halloween is an adorable book that parents and children will fall in love with. Each letter as their…
Lee W. sent another Oops! photo in for the AlphaOops! Scavenger Hunt/Photo Contest — this one’s from Books-A-Million in Charlotte, NC. Got a camera phone? Know a bookstore? Want to have some fun this weekend? Click here for contest rules. Also, my friend Brandi in Charleston saw my post yesterday about pictures of children with AlphaOops and sent me…
Maybe it’s just the weather, but I’m in a very Octoberish mood this week. And so I bring to you this faboo-creepy book trailer of Nashville Gal J. T. Ellison’s The Immortals. Does it creep you out? Let me know! (And yes, in case you’re curious, the book is fabulous. Especially if you’ve ever lived in Nashville. You don’t…
I love pictures. Love them. Always have. You’ll see lots of pictures on this site. The digital age is a double-edged sword because we can take as many pictures as we want of absolutely everything, but slowly dwindling are the days of sitting around the table sifting through Nanny’s albums and boxes of memories. I love doing that, love…
I figured it out — once someone takes a pic in Photo Booth, they need to then select “Flip” from the selection screen while still in Photo Booth. Otherwise, short of Photoshop, one might drive oneself mad. (The best of us are.) This is what the picture SHOULD look like: Click on the picture if you’re interested in RSVPing…
I learn something new with every book I publish. What I’ve learned with AlphaOops: H is for Halloween is: 1.) It is WAY easier to write the second book if you already know the characters, what their motivations are, and what they look like. 2.) It is more helpful to write the manuscript in actual theatre or film script…
Dude, I went to bed thinking I’d be lucky if one or two people responded to lay eyes on this manuscript real quick. By the time I woke up this morning I had been contacted by TEN PEOPLE, and more have been flooding in who missed last night’s window. I am humbled at this outpouring of generosity. You guys…
Just close your eyes and imagine the wings. I did. If there had been *that* much more wind, I could have flown, for sure. As it was, I just escaped frostbite. I will be much better prepared in a couple of weekends for our next game. The Eagles better be more prepared too.
As mentioned earlier, today is Game Day. We’re off to Philly this morning to watch the Eagles vs. Redskins game at 4pm. Yup, tailgating and standing-room-only tickets and everything.Definitely something I’ve never done before. Luckily, I’m always game to try new things. FGB has told me lots of things I need to know beyond the McNabb move, like that…
