And it's positive. Cool. :)

The review is for Freya's Gift and it's from a webzine called Eternal Haunted Summer, which is dedicated to fiction, poetry, and reviews of pagan interests. I did an interview with them for their last issue.

It's totally worth checking out even if you don't want to read my review. :)

Didn't she say that insanity is heredity--you get it from your kids? :)

I wish there was a modern day Erma Bombeck out there Heck, maybe there is and instead of being syndicated, she has a blog somewhere.

Since last Thursday, I've attended a middle school graduation (oldest son), took all four minions to a family gathering two hours away (birthday ( Read more... )

First off, I'm doing some promotion over at Coffee Time Romance for Freya's Gift. If you post in the thread, you get a chance to win a free copy and (I think) a $10 Amazon certificate. There's a ton of other excerpts there for your reading pleasure, if you're so inclined. :)

Got my second royalty statement. I didn't sell as many copies as the first ( Read more... )

I'm not that fond of Almost Famous but for some reason, I love that scene. As twisted as it is, the lead singer of the band is reveling in the fact that he's accomplished something.

Well, he thinks he has. He's certainly created some fans. :)

I like it because it's fun to see someone celebrate. It's part of the reason I enjoy awards shows. Yeah, ( Read more... )

This will be the first conference where I'm presenting a workshop.

I think I'm set. I have index cards. I had a few people look at them. I'm confident in what I want to say.

I found out from my Samhain editor that Freya's Gift is #10 on the ( Read more... )

My head is about to explode from the sheer awesomeness that is today.

My daughter wrote an essay for GeekDad on Wired about The Last Avatar Casting Fail that is bloody brilliant. Not that I'm biased or anything. :)

And my very cool editor at GeekDad ( Read more... )

It's also available at Mobipocket.

(Yes, I signed up for Google Alerts, why do you ask? Though I suspect I may come to regret it...)

However, it's not yet released on the official Samhain Publishing website until next week, as they're updating their ( Read more... )

First, a little squee....

Freya's Gift is up at the Samhain Publishing website in their coming soon pages.

It all seems so....official.

I'm terrified and giddy all at the same time. Not terrified that people won't like it. I did my best to make it a good read. There's nothing else I can do now about that. No sense worrying about what I can't control ( Read more... )

Well, I spent the morning wrangling with customer service reps for Bank of America trying to get someone to shut off an auto deduction from my checking account.

They were ordered to do so in December but they haven't.

All I got was a total runaround. I'll have to go into a branch in person tomorrow.  Dammit. Very soon, I think I'm going to swap to a ( Read more... )

I'm cross-posting these to both here and my writing journal. I haven't figured out a way to make livejournal and wordpress play nice. (Though if any of you know one, I'm glad to hear it!)
