Our favorite Canadian was down for a brief visit, so yesterday we took him to experience one of our great American autumnal past times — a giant corn maze. The 2010 Temple Hall Fall Festival and Corn Maize is right around the corner here in Leesburg. (It runs right up until Halloween, for those interested.) There are hayrides, camel…
The above photo was submitted by Pete G., at a Barnes & Nole in Lincoln, Nebraska. Thanks, Pete! Awesome to see I’m on a display somewhere!! As this contest has gone on, I’ve been learning a lot about how bookstores work, how authors run contests, and exactly how much power one has over how to get one’s book in…
No matter which side of the pond you live on, today was 10.10.10. FGB and I didn’t *need* to drive past this road today on our way home from our friends’ wedding in NC, but it wasn’t too far out of the way. And this picture needed to happen.
Lee W. sent another Oops! photo in for the AlphaOops! Scavenger Hunt/Photo Contest — this one’s from Books-A-Million in Charlotte, NC. Got a camera phone? Know a bookstore?

I love doing that, love…

Otherwise, short of Photoshop, one might drive oneself mad. (The best of us are.) This is what the picture SHOULD look like: Click on the picture if you’re interested in RSVPing…
I learn something new with every book I publish. What I’ve learned with AlphaOops: H is for Halloween is: 1.) It is WAY easier to write the second book if you already know the characters, what their motivations are, and what they look like. 2.) It is more helpful to write the manuscript in actual theatre or film script…
Ta-da! I know, I know, it’s taken me forever and there’s not *that* many…but the migraine and the Con Funk smacked me down and I’ve had to fix them up in fits and starts. Join me on my journey to and from Dragon*Con — including parades, corset shopping, my hot friend Simon, and Kevin Sorbo. I do, of course,…
Pics are up — slightly out of order, but amusingly captioned. Definitely a weekend to remember.
…are paying this guy to sit on his butt all day. Sheesh. I wonder what he makes an hour.
I’ve been a lot of things in my life,…
I’ve been waiting for over ten years to finally…
If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve…
