Some Enchanted Morning

It’s a small thing, and there’s no cover image, and technically you can’t order it yet, but Enchanted is now listed on Amazon’s website, as well as on Goodreads. There are some very important things up, however, that are good to know: Release Date: May 8, 2012 (it seems so far away!) ISBN: 9780547645704 Description: It isn’t easy being…

Magic & Monsters

Last month, I was egged on by both the Fairy GodBoyfriend and J.T. Ellison to get some of my short story backlist available for the Kindle and Nook. (Which I succumbed to peer pressure and did, thank you very much.) But there do still exist people in the world who do not have — for one reason or another…

A funny thing happened last year. But then, I am the Princess of Funny Things, so this shouldn’t come as a surprise. Last summer, I had a new picture book come out.

You have to make sure they have fresh water, trim off the dead buds, and then finally toss the whole kit & caboodle in your trash can and scrub the mold out of…

Clearly Not a Fan

Things will be sporadic on the blog here this week — my holiday season’s not over yet! On Wednesday I’m flying to Florida for Christmas with my parents and sister. And next week is PRINCESS ALETHEA’S BIG BIRTHDAY TIARA SPECTACULAR! (Do you have your tiara ready yet?) In the meantime I wanted to share with you this humbling Christmas…

Fangirl Moment

I finished the edits for SUNDAY last night and sent them in (waaaaay early) to my editor as a Yule gift. I promised the Fairy GodBoyfriend that I’d take it easy today, so there’s going to be a lot of resting, cleaning the house, and watching Christmas movies.
