My friend Marisol recently sent me a few pictures she had taken at Dragon*Con last year, including this one of me right before the Hour with Sherrilyn Kenyon panel, showing off my lovely new green corset and the gorgeous cover to my new novel. I’ve been going to Dragon*Con since 1996. THIS YEAR, 2012, is the first year I…
When Bitten By Books asked me if I would like to do a guest post, Rachel and I bounced some ideas back and forth. I’m always up for doing something different, and Rachel was in the market for more vlog (video blog) content. VOILA! A match made in heaven. So here’s my guest post — it’s live today. Just…

From the website: The Gelett…

Surprisingly, what came up…
You know what makes everyone smile? BLOOPER REELS. Please enjoy this quick, minute-long blooper reel, constructed from all the deleted scenes I read for the Enchanted blog tour this summer.

Hello, everyone! Welcome to July, and the Month of Artist and Author Interviews here on the website! To kick things off in a contrary fashion (because all ways here belong to me), today’s interview is neither an author nor an artist (but she could be both one day, if she wanted to). As promised, here is the interview with…
A lovely YouTube review for Enchanted from Bookshelf Banter! Kallie’s running an Enchanted ARC giveaway on her site that ENDS TODAY, so if you want a piece of the action you better get your bootie on over there to enter!
This week I had the privilege of being featured on my good friend Anton Strout’s “The Once and Future Podcast.” We got very writerly in our discussion — folks looking to hear about the struggles of writing life…and writing sequels…and writing under stress…and writing while over committed…will LOVE this one. Just click on the image below! This week I…
