Today I’m going to talk about the demon that I deal with in my daily life. His name is Procrastination and he’s single-handedly trying to ruin my life.
Some history — even as a child, I remember being the one who left the house late and had to run to catch the school bus on the […]

Good morning! I’m a bit bleary-eyed as I write this because I just got back from a two day road trip to Portland, Oregon, where my friend and I attended a Reader’s Luncheon put on by the RWA chapter there.
We had a wonderful time! There was a booksigning where I got to visit with old […] -
Writing Can Save Your Life
April 27, 2007; 2:48 pm
At my blog today I wrote about how deciding not to engage can save one’s life. Here, because I am feeling both introspective and ambitious, I want to talk about writing saving one’s life. Really, any art can save you, but writing’s what I know. So here goes.

Her heart may be in the right place…
but her soul belongs to Satan.
Being Satan’s most infamous minion is the only life Becca Gibbs has ever known. But now she’s restless, sick and tired of […] -
Is it all worth it?
April 24, 2007; 5:00 am
Hey there,
As you read this I’m either leaving for Houston from Phoenix, in the air, or at the convention hotel. I’m actually writing this a little early to post on the day I leave so that I can chat with you. :-) Be sure and leave me your opinion so that I can check […] -

Dreams
April 22, 2007; 8:00 am
Shhhh! Don’t tell anybody, but I played hooky yesterday! Instead of doing laundry and grocery shopping and writing my pages for the day, I snuck off with my husband to spend the afternoon looking at classic cars at the Harold E. LeMay Museum, in Tacoma, WA.
Now, I have to admit it was sort of a […] -
Books I Recommend Highly
April 20, 2007; 1:58 pm
Cross-posted from my blog, because I forgot it was Friday and I am a sad lazy panda today.
So, as part of the “getting Lili to chill the heck out” program, I’ve decided to listen to calming music and blog about books that I love that I think everyone should read, because they are So Great. […] -
Week Of New Book Covers…
April 19, 2007; 12:38 pm
Okay, I’m totally taunting you, because I’m not actually going to post my new cover, because it has a typo in the mock up, so I will wait for that. However I will share the title and the back cover blurb.
Coming in January 2008…
ANY WAY YOU WANT IT

BELIEVING
April 17, 2007; 5:00 am
I decided I deserved some cool things these past couple of weeks and have spent an ungodly amount of money, especially this weekend. I don’t feel guilty, don’t feel ill over it. I know I’ve worked hard, and sometimes you’ve just got to take care of YOU, and do the things that make you feel […]

Plot keywords
April 16, 2007; 12:27 pm
IMDb.com seems to have a new feature where they list keywords about each movie. I’m wondering if by the top five shown keywords (ie: the themes and subjects the movie explores) can you guess what movie it is? Scroll down to the bottom to see the answers.
1. Obsession / Department Store / Marriage / Blindness […] -
Do the Clothes Make the Man?
April 15, 2007; 12:59 am
Don’t take this wrong, but when I’m in the middle of writing a book, I rarely see my heroes wearing clothes. Now, it’s not that I see all of my Paladins fighting bloody battles against onrushing hordes of Others while naked (pause here for a second to savor that particular image), but at that point, […]

Synchronicity Bites Again
April 13, 2007; 1:07 pm
It happens all the time. Most recently, it happened yesterday.
Pardon me while I back up just a wee bit. Yesterday I finished the fifth book in the Valentine series. Not just the rough draft, which had some Problems (as all children do) but the clarity/continuity edit a book gets just before it goes out Into […]
