Rod and Kyle: Uncensored After Dark

Rod Tritone, author Judi Fennell, author Stephanie Julian, Kyle Rossini
Scene: The overcrowded bar of a large hotel somewhere on the eastern seaboard. It’s after midnight. There are mostly women talking, laughing and drinking. And drinking.
Rod Tritone rocks the no-longer-frosted beer mug in his hand, and keeps his head down. Those women have been eyeing him [...]

Answer: They both play characters named Sparrow.
 

 
 
Call me Sparrow… Cap’n Sparrow.
…Or is that Miss Sparrow?
Yes, I’m talking about the cute, little brown birds. But I’m also talking about the hot and sexy pirate played by Johnny Depp. [...]

Authors After Dark, and in the morning and during the day…

This past weekend I was in Suffern, NY at the Authors After Dark Readers Conference, and I had a blast! My books, both In Over Her Head, and Wild Blue Under, sold out at the booksigning, I did a workshop with the incomparable Joey W. Hill, participated on other panels, got to wear my fun [...]

They’re Heeeeeeeeeerrrreeee!

Just a quick post to say my author copies of Wild Blue Under arrived! This is always exciting because, even though I’ve seen an ARC copy, I haven’t seen the final thing, including the cover quotes. So here’s what they say:
“Bubbly fun in this sparkling ‘under the sea’ tale.” – Virginia Kantra, USA Today bestselling [...]

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, [...]

Julie & Julia… and Judi

Okay, perhaps not the most innovative title, but appropro nonetheless.
Last night, a few of my Survivor Girls and I went to see the movie starring Amy Adams and Meryl Streep (yes, I put Amy’s name first on purpose. No disrespect meant to Meryl, but Amy is Giselle from the movie Disney made JUST FOR ME.)
I [...]

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 charms [...]

Mermaid Sighting?

Talk about perfect timing! My first book, In Over Her Head, features an entire undersea world of Atlantis with Mer men and women. It’s got talking fish. Grumpy starfish. Nasty sharks and a sea monster or two.
Turns out, I might not be that far off.
Some folks are claiming to have seen a “girl with a [...]

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 [...]
