So… did you give away any books for the holidays? Did you receive any?

I didn’t technically get any books for presents, but just before Christmas I had a few friends send me ARCs of their upcoming books, which rocks, of course.

I gave my sister some books on how to Feng …

Here it is, Thursday December 27th, and I’m wondering what to do. Should I start one of my holiday resolutions early? Yeah, that’s it: Go on the big diet just before New Year’s Eve! Or start writing the next Devil’s book when I’m sure William’s son …

I love Christmas. Love the wonder. The excitement. The whole hustle and bustle routine. And, of course, I love the presents. :grin:

I particularly like the small presents–the thoughtful ones that don’t cost much, but mean so much. Like a hand-painted card. Or fresh …

I can never remember what year it is. Never. I dated a check yesterday 12/18/09 and it looked right to me. For about 10 seconds. And then I thought, “No, it’s 08.” Brilliant.

My publishing schedule for 2008 is set and in the middle of January …

I love doing blogs, I really do and usually don’t forget, look forward to gabbing but I think the holidays have completely fried my brain.

I’m deep in Holiday Frenzy.

The shopping is nearly finished. I haven’t wrapped a thing, but the house is all decorated.

So time to think about the baking…well I was considering trying some new cookies, and not doing the usual candies and cookies that I bake.

Right, you’d think I set fire …

Why is it so important? Because you have only a few seconds to get a reader’s attention in a bookstore or online. Writing a historical? Beware the overly lyrical opener. A lonely bird warbled in a glade, its piercing notes a cry of longing inchoate. The …

Good Morning!

Do you know how to catch a polar bear? I’ll tell you just in case you ever need this information. LOL You cut a hole in the ice. Then you open a can of peas and pour it in the hole. When the polar …
