Seriously, LJ?
Why would I want to switch to the new version of my friends page? It's HIDEOUS. -
Yay
I just unfriended a rabidly Republican acquaintance on Facebook and it feels SOOOOOO good.
That's all. -
Cover Branding
I’ve been thinking a lot about cover design lately, and not just because designing book covers is part of what I do for a living. This follows from my post last week about writing in series, something I’d never really planned to do but which sort of fell in my lap as a natural extension of the stories I wanted to tell. Once I embarked on this ( Read more... ) -
Drinking the Series Kool-Aid
I'm in the midst of a massive overhaul of my website (hopefully to launch in early September, so it coincides with the release of my next book). Part of what I'm doing is breaking my books out into their separate categories, as I realized I'm starting to develop a fairly large backlist, and because I write across a number of genres, I can't expect ( Read more... ) -
Inspiration
It's been a long time since I posted anything here. Darn. And I was doing so much better for a while. Still, the reason for the neglect was a good one - my freelance business really has taken off over the past few months, and between juggling clients and their projects and trying to get my own new release (Blood Will Tell, a science fiction romance ( Read more... ) -
Why Lavinia Doesn’t Get Laid, or, Ruminations on Sex in Romance Novels
I’ve had sex on my mind a lot lately. No, not that way (well…ahem). Okay, also in a sort of meta-way, probably brought on at first by the whole PayPal/erotica debacle, and then by a discussion on the Kindleboards by some authors who say Amazon is purposely keeping certain racy titles out of the search function on the site.
When the PayPal thing ( Read more... ) -

I’m Now on Tumblr
Just because I didn’t have enough social media whatchamathingies to keep me busy, I’ve also signed up for a Tumblr blog. Actually, the idea of Tumblr appeals to me a good deal, just because I find that lots of things catch my eye, but posting about them here or on Facebook or Twitter just doesn’t seem quite right. I have a tendency to download lots ( Read more... ) -
Bits and Pieces
Just a few bibs and bobs - first off, I’d like to say congratulations to Cathy in California, who is the winner of my Valentine Blog Hop giveaway. She’ll receive a $25 Amazon gift card and a print copy of Heart of Gold. If you’d still like a chance at a free copy of the book, go on over to Joanne Renaud’s blog and comment on my interview there ( Read more... ) -
The Bad Vibrations Magical Mystery Tour
Because I’m offering Bad Vibrations for free on February 12-13 (to celebrate my anniversary!), I thought it might be fun to create a sort of travelogue of the places mentioned in the book. I tend to be a very visual writer, so I have these images in my head as I’m writing (especially if I’m writing about places I’ve been or at least driven by). ( Read more... )
