Those following on Facebook (and sometimes Twitter) know that right now publicity for the paperback of Enchanted is the LAST thing on my mind right now, as my niece undergoes a very dangerous heart surgery up in Burlington, VT. But, as my very wise and significantly more published friends have reminded me, the publishing machine does not stop for…
No..wait! It’s not what you think! A while back, fellow Mermaid author Carlene Love Flores dropped me a line to tell me about a really cool project her neice was doing in school. “Alex’s 8th grade class is doing a group assignment where they have been asked to design a new cover of one of their favorite books and…
I’ve been out of it since Nebula Award weekend. To be fair, I did plan for it. I knew that I would have a week after traveling cross-country to get over whatever I needed to get over before BEA. I did not, of course, plan to lose an entire day (last Thursday is around here SOMEWHERE) and then, you…

I also get to answer my favorite question: the “is there anything we forgot to ask you?”, or what I like to call The Blank Check. What did I decide to ask myself on this particular occasion?

It’s here! It’s here! As promised (for sooooo long), here is my inaugural video blog (aka: “vlog”) entry in which Princess Alethea Rants About Fairy Tales!
