How BOT WARS Sold
I announced Wednesday night on Twitter that my awesome ninja agent, Joanna, sold my middle grade novel, BOT WARS. So I thought I’d share a little more about how it came to be.
After ALTERED sold and before the editorial letter arrived, I wanted to work on something new. I wrote some pages of a YA fantasy. Then I wrote thirty pages that were ( Read more... ) -

Splurge
The question I often thought about when I fantasized about selling my book was: What will I buy with my advance?
The responsible side of me said, "Pay off some bills, get new tires for the car."

Pre Book Deal, if I started something I loved, ( Read more... ) -
The Evolution of a Writer
So, I know I said I'd post here whatever I posted over on blogger, but this particular entry is graphic heavy and I'm just too lazy to upload them all to Photobucket. And speaking of which, does anyone know of a way to automatically post my blogger entries over here without copying and pasting? I am so lame when it comes to that stuff.
Anyway, I ( Read more... ) -
Twelfth Night
Last night, The Hubs and I went to a theater performance of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night out at the community college. At risk of revealing my lameness, I must admit I've never been to a theater performance. And I wasn't sure what to expect of this tiny production set at a college surrounded by Michigan backwoods. Oh, and did I mention it was done ( Read more... )
