Dear Santa,
Thank you for the gift cards on Christmas Day. They will come in very handy and I do think that practical gifts are an excellent choice given that my little 650 sq. ft. condo is already full of collectibles of all kinds. However, thank you also for the cast iron “pig with wings” bank/door […]

A Sensitive Canvas
December 28, 2007; 4:11 pm
To be a writer is to pay attention.
To write demands that a writer, first and foremost, notices things. This is such a baseline rule many want-to-be writers forget it. In order to write, you must observe the world around you. You need the little details to fill in the world you’re creating on the page. […] -

Welcome Raven Hart– and her amazing vampires!
December 27, 2007; 8:18 am
I’m really excited to welcome Raven to The Midnight Hour–I love her vampires, especially Jack! But I also love the way she’s written the books in first person through the eyes of both Jack and William, doing an amazing job with their very different voices! One lucky person will be receiving an […]

Quotes to live by and quotes for authors
December 25, 2007; 5:00 am
In my spare time (LOL) I’ve been researching quotes and writing down those that I feel apply to me or inspire me. On this Christmas day, I’ll share some of these with you. I’m writing this in advance, so I’m enjoying the holiday with my family, and I hope you are, too!
“There are two ways […] -
Happy Holidays
December 24, 2007; 1:24 pm
I can’t believe it’s Christmas Eve. I’ve celebrated today so far by writing 11 pages. Festive!!
I also can’t believe I finished shopping last week, which is miles ahead of when I typically finish Xmas shopping. My apartment is a mess, but I’m headed over to my parents’ for a day or two for presents and […] -
Use It Like Rocket Fuel
December 21, 2007; 3:21 pm
First, happy Winter Solstice to you all!
At Orycon I got a chance to sit down and actually talk with a certain writer friend. We don’t often get to have a good jaw, but we were both there and our schedules parted, and there it was.
A subject that came up, and one I’m still thinking about, […] -
‘Tis the season!
December 20, 2007; 10:18 am
I’ll keep this one short, but I want to wish everyone the best of holiday seasons! In this busy time of the year, I think it’s important to take a few minutes—or a few words—to think about all the blessings in our lives. Personally, I’m grateful for my family, my friends, and all the […]

Beta Guys can be hot, too…
December 19, 2007; 1:43 am
In the spirit of the holidays and of our high respect and admiration for males of all kinds, alpha and beta, I hereby present to you a very good reason why beta guys are still up there in my list when it comes to real life. Enjoy!

I think I may be in love
December 17, 2007; 7:18 am
My writing has gone well this year thus far (four books written in total, three of which were on contract, one on spec) but something has suffered greatly: my reading. If I read five full books this year, I’d be surprised. Mind you, I bought or received at least 100 books this year, but reading […]

To Hell And Back
December 14, 2007; 9:05 am
Cross-posted from my regular blog because, well, my brain is once again oatmeal.
I ordered and received a copy of the fifth and final Dante Valentine book, To Hell And Back, from Amazon today. (Well, I ordered it two days ago, and it came today.) I’ve also received independent confirmation from other Readers that it’s shipping […] -
On That Note . . .
December 13, 2007; 8:28 am
My friend and fellow writer, Janice Kay Johnson, were talking over lunch earlier this week about whether or not we need noise or quiet when we’re working. She’s definitely in the “need it quiet” camp—and with about 60 published books to her credit, I sure can’t argue that it works for her. Janice’s most recent […]

Two Vamps, One Jugular
December 12, 2007; 10:33 am
What does the image of two vamps, one jugular bring to mind?
A bloody brawl between two immortals desperate to feed? One will live, one will die, and a battle to the death is all that is standing between life or death? Yeah, that’s the image I’m getting as well. Delicious and fun, isn’t it?
What if […]
