Well, it's December, and my TV interview is airing on our local cable access channel...

I gathered up my courage and watched it tonight.

Now, I absolutely loathe seeing photos or videos of myself, so that part was painful and the adage about the camera adding 10 pounds is absolutely true, but I don't sound nearly as incoherent as I'd feared ( Read more... )

I survived the experience...the show's two hosts were very nice and did their best to try to put me at ease, but I was *so* glad that I'd spent the weekend practicing my answers for "what is your book about?" and "what inspired this book?"
( They had six minutes set aside for me (on GOOD MORNING AMERICA, they only only give authors four minutes, I was cheerily informed). )

I'm going to be appearing on television ( Read more... )

One last post for tonight, with some shameless self-promotion for my published alter-ego.  An interview that I did earlier this year has now been published online:

( There were flying skeletons! (entirely work-safe) )

After taking off a few weeks to write Pam's birthday fic (and to replan the back half of The Wolf Prince), I'm writing again. Finally finished Chapter 10 and about 1/3 of Chapter 11 over the weekend ( Read more... )

My friend Louise and I got together again a couple of weekends ago, and she recorded Chapter Four of Twist of Honor for me.

This chapter chronicles the first meeting of the young, widowed Countess of Cranbourne and Kit Fitzgeorge, soldier-of-fortune, devoted father, and would-be abductor of the countess.

Kit has a plan. It's a good plan, but ( Read more... )

Warning: Extremely cracky humor ahead. I know I said the story was completed in the previous chapter, but the birthday girl, for whom this tale was written, contributed an epilogue of her own. Written by the birthday girl herself, simmerfan!
( So, Agent Chang, while you were in disguise for this covert operation, were you aware of wearing lady’s lingerie as well, and, if so, how did you feel about that? )

The grand finale!

A Shin Makoku rescue operation: infiltration, swordplay...and cross-dressing?
