Yes, I’m being silly and trying to review/revise and entire manuscript in just a few days so I can send it off to my editor before the WRW retreat this weekend. (More like the Sherrilyn Kenyon signing in Alexandria on Thursday, actually.) So only a brief blog from me this morning before I shower and get to work. In…
The bookmarks have arrived and they look GORGEOUS. I only wish I’d ordered more. But this confirms that the other ” story faces” I’ve prepared will be good to go as soon as I can afford them. *happy dance*
I have a really bad habit. I use Firefox for my internet browser…and I do this thing where I leave a bunch of tabs open because there are 1.)stories I want to read 2.) things I want to blog about 3.) reference notes I want to make 4.) stories I want to write or venues to submit to…the list…
There’s a Washington Romance Writers retreat coming up here at the end of the month (which is only 10 days away…where has this year gone??). Right about this now is when I usually start thinking, “What sort of swag do I have to give out?” If growing up in publishing with Sherrilyn Kenyon has taught me one thing, it’s…
It’s always an adventure in the land where Princess Alethea reigns. This week, The Fairy Godboyfriend and I are dogsitting (and so far haven’t slept through the night, as Ginger and Lucky get used to tenants coming and going from the apartment complex at all hours). Last week, I had an adventure in self-publishing. As I’d mentioned earlier, dear…

This week, I’m working on making some of my stories available in digital format (for only $0.99 each). I understood that there would be a decently steep learning curve since I’m a bit of a technoidiot, but I still wanted to soak up as much about this thing that is digital publishing as I could. I’m learning all about…
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 might remember it: AlphaOops: H is for Halloween. It’s the sequel to AlphaOops!: The Day Z Went First. I was shocked to my toes when I…
A few announcements I don’t want to forget to post: * The winner of the March 28th Recipe Blog contest is Sandra Davis! Sandra’s name will go into the hat with all the rest of March’s winners of the Fool for Romance contest. If her name is drawn there as well, she could win a virtual boatload of awesome…
