And then there were 3

Christmas, my birthday, my anniversary and any other celebratory day you care to mention came to my house today, and my FedEx delivery person played Santa. Here’s why:
 

The ARC for Catch of a Lifetime arrived, putting all three of my books in my hand.
To say I squee’d would be an understatement.
(and if you’ll notice, I’ve [...]

In Celebration (AKA I love my Husband!)

Yep, I now own this.
Silly, I know. But I LOVED I Dream of Jeannie and now that I’m writing a genie trilogy, well, it was a no brainer.
I have to say thank you to my wonderful husband who not only didn’t roll his eyes when I found this online, but was the one to say, [...]

First Official: Look at Wild Blue Under

At the Sourcebooks signing during the RWA National Conference this year, we didn’t have a lot of copies of In Over Her Head (try 5) to sign and give away. Now, this was actually a good thing because In Over Her Head  has gone into a second printing. BUT it meant people wouldn’t get my [...]

OFFICIAL FIRST: Sighting of In Over Her Head in a bookstore!

Beth Hill, fellow Wombat, editor and author extraordinaire, and all around amazing human being, took these photos at her local Barnes & Noble near Atlanta.
All I can say (amidst the tears) is Thank You, Beth.
(and now please allow for some sappy self-indulgence…)

 
 

Bus, Train and Automobiles – My 2009 Conference Schedule

And not an airplane in sight this year. That’ll seem weird.
I just posted a comment at Deb Maher’s blog about Nationals in DC (driving) – I cannot wait!! First of all, I’m always excited for National, and second, this one will be the first one I’m signing at. Talk about a rush! My book will [...]

Authors in Action!

 
From Monday, January 19 through Monday, January 26, I’m joining a group of authors and Romantic Inks in an online auction to help out a deserving family, by offering a signed ARC (advanced reading copy) of my debut novel, In Over Her Head (click here to go right to my page). (Five months before it [...]

My Very First Look at In Over Her Head

 FIRST OFFICIAL: Look at my book!
I’m going to be participating in an online auction to benefit a homeless family and I’ll be auctioning off an ARC (advanced reading copy) of In Over Her Head (a full four and a half months before it shows up in book stores). Today my copy arrived and thrilled just [...]

We Have A Title!

 
As you may know, my editor emailed me saying they wanted a different title for Book 2 in the Mer series. Instead of Whale of a Tail, they wanted something more reflective of the series. So, I put the call out and you guys sent the submissions in fast and furious.
My editor needed the list [...]

T-Minus XX and counting

My 3 books with Sourcebooks come out next June, August and October and if you do the math, that’s under a year for the first one. Luckily for me, the first one is written and edits are in (yay!) Books 2 and 3, however, are a different story.
I’d come up with the partials a while [...]

A Password is a terrible thing to lose

 
Yes, it’s been over a year since my last post. From the title of this post, I think it’s pretty self-explanatory why.
Sad, I know.
On the upside, it’s also been a productive year. I entered the original Gather.com/Simon&Schuster First Chapters contest with Beauty and The Best. It finished in the Top 20 out of over 2,700 [...]
