FIRST OFFICIAL: Copy of Genie Knows Best in my hands!

“They” say a picture is worth a thousand words…   This one, to me, is worth almost 200,000. That’s how many I had to write to get this thing in my hands. Why so many? Well, this is The Book That Tried To Kill Me ™, aka: TBTTTKM-2 ™ (kudos to my friend Lisa Brackmann [...]

FIRST OFFICIAL: Sighting of Genie Knows Best on Amazon!

I had no idea it was going to be up for pre-order today. To say I’m thrilled is definitely an understatement. This book was a labor of love and I’m so excited for it to hit the shelves. I’m also excited because I figured out how to do an Amazon page of my books, grouping [...]

FIRST OFFICIAL: Look at I Dream of Genies

The ARCs are here! The ARCs are here! That’s Advanced Reading Copies. I have a few authors lined up to read the story for quotes, so my publicist sent me a few copies to send out. Of course I had to hold the ARCs in my hot little hands, and, okay, maybe I snuggled with [...]

FIRST OFFICIAL: Look at Genie Knows Best

Now that Genie Knows Best is with the beta readers and most of the copy edits have been finished on I Dream of Genies, and the house has been SCRUBBED from top to bottom, eleventy-million loads of laundry done, too much food has been bought, and all the bills have been paid, I figured it [...]

Pinch me! I must be dreaming – of genies!

It’s official! The cover is here! What’s funny is, the cover is done and I have yet to get edits from my editor. It’s always a nerve-wracking time between handing the story in and waiting for edits. All sorts of questions pop up: Did I do it again? Does it work? Is the emotional story [...]

FIRST OFFICIAL: Second Contract

I know, the title is a bit cumbersome, but it IS my first official second contract: I’ve accepted an offer for three more books from my publisher, Sourcebooks/Casablanca. No, it’s not a continuation of the Mer series (yet), but a new one. Think I Dream of Jeannie meets Indiana Jones.  (And, yes, I’ve already bought the [...]

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 [...]

First Official: Book Signing at BEA

  On Saturday, May 30, I went to BEA in NYC to do a book signing at the RWA Booth. It was so  much fun to see people in line for my story, and to see some familiar faces! Luckily, LibraryJoural caught a picture. I also stopped by the Sourcebooks booth (more like a beautiful living [...]
