Blogs and Book Birthdays!

I’m blogging over at Magical Words with a hopefully pithy post on safety and suspense called “Wherein No One is Safe.”  I hope you’ll check it out and leave a comment.  One of my favorite things about Magical Words is the discussion that always seems to come along with the articles.  Often just as intriguing,Continue reading “Blogs and Book Birthdays!”

BlogTalk Radio interview!

Last week, I had a lovely chat with Shannon Delany (author of 13 TO LIFE and other young adult titles) on blog talk radio. We discussed everything from writing to agenting, fiction to non-fiction (my essay in the DEAR BULLY anthology).  I hope you’ll listen and enjoy. Listen to internet radio with Authors On TheContinue reading “BlogTalk Radio interview!”

History and POV by D.B. Jackson

Anyone who’s taken my Writers Digest webinar on writing science fiction, fantasy and the paranormal or who’s taken one of my worldbuilding workshops will have heard me quote David B. Coe, who is a wonderful writer, blogger and teacher of all things writing.  He’s a regular contributor to Magical Words, which has a lot ofContinue reading “History and POV by D.B. Jackson”

Latter-Day Olympians

CRAZY IN THE BLOOD, the second novel in my Latter-Day Olympians urban fantasy series of murder, myth and mayhem, releases in print today!  Cue virtual confetti!  Cue trumpets!  Heck, cue a whole street party…no, wait, a rave! Okay, I think that’s enough exclamation points for right now.  Seriously, though, I’d love, love, love you toContinue reading “Latter-Day Olympians”

So much excitement

There have been so many exciting things going on lately that I haven’t found time to blog about them!  If you’re looking for something pithy-ish, I was over at Magical Words last week with an ode to stream-of-consciousness, my fifth grade teacher and the writing process.  If you’re looking for me to share with theContinue reading “So much excitement”

Congratulations!

  I’m so excited that Rachel Caine’s latest release, FALL OF NIGHT, has once again propelled her Morganville Vampires to the New York Times Children’s Series bestseller list, now at #7!  If you haven’t yet been introduced, well then, you’ve got a whole incredible series to look forward to that just keeps getting better andContinue reading “Congratulations!”

Happy Book Birthday to Rosemary Clement-Moore

I’m convinced that Rosemary and I read all the same books growing up, watched all the same movies and televisions shows and, heck, probably acted in the same productions, leading parallel lives many states apart.  That’s how much her books speak to me and everything I love in fiction.  I’m so excited to wish herContinue reading “Happy Book Birthday to Rosemary Clement-Moore”

Depression, Struggle and Hyperbole and a Half

When I saw on Twitter that Hyperbole and a Half was back and talking about depression, I had to go look.  For one thing, I’ve always loved Hyperbole and a Half.  So funny I often laugh until I cry.  For another, I know far too many people who suffer from depresssion.  Creative people, writers, haveContinue reading “Depression, Struggle and Hyperbole and a Half”

So much to celebrate

So much to celebrate this week in addition to the latest book birthdays. First, if you haven’t already heard me trumpet this (because I’m known for my subtlety), I have a bunch of my own new releases coming out this year, particularly in the Latter-Day Olympians series. The first book, BAD BLOOD, is already outContinue reading “So much to celebrate”
