Apparently, there’s a trend in the book world that I’ve TOTALLY MISSED up until now called “Waiting On Wednesday.” On Wednesdays (surprise!) bloggers mention the upcoming books they’re really looking forward to reading. I had no idea about this phenomenon. And then my inbox started to be flooded with Google Alerts about Enchanted. The links sent me to sites…
Yes, you’ve read that right — as a Halloween promotion, Black Dog & Leventhal publishing has made one of the stories from the DEMONS anthology available for free — AND THAT STORY IS MINE!! *Mwahahahahahaha* “The Unicorn Hunter” is the one I’ve been gushing about — the one from the Enchanted universe. It’s the story I saw in my…
It’s no secret that: 1.) Poe was my Emo High School Dream Boyfriend 2.) Tamora Pierce’s George Cooper was my first literary love 3.) I freaking adore Leanna Renee Hieber 4.) I believe in supporting Independently owned businesses Amusingly enough, this post is going to cover ALL FOUR OF THESE SUBJECTS. “But how on Earth…?” I hear you asking….

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. This is a trend in genre fiction — especially with YA and Romance — where authors…
Hooray! It’s time for the Waterworld Mermaids to officially invite you into our garden! As Waterworld Mermaids, we don’t normally find ourselves in a garden, unless it’s of the seaweed and coral variety; so, for our first online anthology of short stories, we decided to tie each tale together by location and an exotic one to us – a…
Nifty Site for Today: THIS interview with Stephan Pastis. Because I love him. It’s okay — he knows it.
The nifty site of today is the Book Blogger Directory — the “Big Blog of Book Blogs” — most specifically, this page which lists a plethora of YA Science Fiction and Fantasy blogs. Definitely worth checking out!
Like many other folks who live in Nashville (or used to), I mourned the loss of Davis-Kidd Bookstore. I met David Sedaris at that bookstore, and Orson Scott Card for the first time. I had my very first booksigning there. The staff actually knew about books and cared about books and actually read books and recommended them to people….
