I’ve had this on my list to blog about for a while…and now that I’m jumping back onto the intarwebs post-Sandycane, the subjectmatter seems even more fitting. I’ve known Jeff Carlson since he won the Writers of the Future Award in 2007 for his novella “The Frozen Sky.” I am not–nor have I ever been–a Writers of the Future…
Back in the summer of 2009, Stephen Segal at Weird Tales started a series called One-Minute Weird Tales, in which supershort flash fiction was set to music and aired on YouTube. At Dragon*Con that year Stephen asked me to write something for this series, and I did. I even picked out the music. But while it was an awesome…
Hello, everyone! You may remember back a few weeks ago, when I mentioned that a friend had emailed me, congratulating me on AlphaOops: The Day Z Went First having a cameo in The Smurfs Movie. Sure enough, my cousin Jamie (who had the DVD on hand) took a screen shot for me — there is is, front and center!…
This is one of those projects I contributed to so long ago that I keep forgetting about it — The Writers Workshop of Science Fiction and Fantasy, edited by Michael Knost.

Do you painstakingly outline things, or do you just fly by the seat of your pants and just write…
Enchanted is the TMV Cafe’s Book of the Month! My thanks to the ever-sexy Funky Werepig for nominating it! xox
When my friend Mary Robinette Kowal asked me to guest post on her feature “My Favorite Bit,” I chose to feature The Wonderland Alphabet. So when Asher from Parenormal Indulgence asked me to pick out a few of my favorite quotes from Enchanted, I jumped at the chance. It was SO MUCH FUN…and kind of hard to stop. Are…
It needed to happen. And I’m so very happy that it did. Cheers, Heather!
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…
