Since I’m now officially less than a month to launch date, a fact that you wouldn’t know from Amazon of course, I thought I’d shamelessly publish some links. NetGalley is a mythical beast to me. Even though I’m an editor, that part of the business is totally alien to me. I’d heard of it, and I knew that it was a way to get advance […]
I’m sure for most of you book industry people, or REALLY avid readers, you will already know about the disagreement between my lovely publisher, Hachette, and Amazon.com (that is, so far at least, just the Amazon in the USA). A few scant weeks after I was squeeing about my lovely book covers and blurbs being up on Amazon, they took all my e-books and my […]
I’m a bit of a sucker for the quirky book, so when I saw Jenny Mollen‘s debut collection of essays about her life, I thought it seemed like a good summer read (I was right, by the way). She’s an actress-slash-comedien married to the slightly more famous Jason Biggs – best known for apple pies, but currently starring in Orange is the New Black on […]
So Kevin Reilly of FoxTV has decided to cancel… (Yup, you guessed it)… Enlisted. So this is me right now: I totally feel like this is my fault. EVERY TIME I fall in love with a series, someone cancels it. My fault. Must not fall in love. This afternoon will be like this: And when I […]
My first book, DANGEROUS TERRITORY, released on August 4th 2014, is about a pararescuer who is send on a mission to rescue a lost reporter behind enemy lines in Afghanistan, only to find that they share a pretty sexy history… But what IS a pararescuer? In the simplest terms they are special ops. Officially they are United States Special Operations Command and Air Combat Command […]
We all know how hard it sucks with the power of a thousand suns when a network cancels a show you loved. Or when they cancel something you’d always meant to watch, but never got around to. Firefly, anyone? Veronica Mars? For me the cancellation of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip was particularly painful. I was even way into The Assets on ABC this […]
This is a quick, personal request. If you like reading, or writing, about military heroes, please consider donating a few dollars to help the families of real combat heroes who have fallen. This fundraiser is close to my heart, as my husband will be competing, and knows too many TACPs who have been lost while serving the country. Among other things, this fund helps the […]
The end of 2013 was a embarrassment of unimaginable (for me) riches. This was in today’s Publishers Marketplace (if your eyes are like mine, you may have to click on it for the larger verison!): . . . *Dies* . . . . . . In fact a few good things happened in 2013. Last year, my husband was promoted, which was, and still is, […]
Come on, we all do them. Even if we don’t admit it (to others). In fact my husband and I do joint ones as well as individual ones, just to hold each other accountable! We review them on our respective birthdays, which are equally spaced through the year, to keep on track. We accomplished only five of last year’s eleven resolutions. And he did better […]
Hi there! It’s been a while, and since I am such a bad-ass new year resolution maker, I am resolving to blog more frequently. I have a load of lovely signed books to give away throughout 2014, so be sure to check back regularly, or subscribe, so you don’t miss out. Since it’s December I’m posting a photo of my tree, which my pup kind […]
