Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
Okay, so last week I talked about how I should do a giveaway. Responses were positive, so here it is. How shall we do it? We’ll take the KISS approach (keep it simple, sweetie). Respond here with a comment telling me which of my books you’d like to receive as a gift, and you could…
So, all of November slipped by without a single blog update from me. Well, other than my Goodreads reviews. There hasn’t been much news on the writing front, so I just didn’t bother to post. There still isn’t much, but I felt like it was time for an update. After Obsession has been out for…
So. This Wednesday the faculty at the high school where I teach have been summoned to a meeting where our long-winded superintendent and our technology dictator will “explain” to us the importance of putting our lesson plans into the program assigned for that purpose. In other words, we’re in for a butt-chewing. Ordinarily, I’d say…
Well, I knew it was inevitable, and it happened less than a week following After Obsession’s publication. Someone accused me of selling out. Selling out. Let’s think about what that means. I typically think of selling out as giving up your moral principles and simply doing something for monetary gain, or some other personal gain.…
As an author working in the small presses, I always had to do my own marketing, my own promotion, making contacts, sending books for review, setting up signings and providing books, then letting the bookstore take a cut of the sales. As a result, it was important to monitor the reviews of my books. Also,…
After Obsession is now available in the United Kingdom. Yay! And we’re just eight days away from the American release. Yay! (You can still pre-order the American hardcover.) The blog I Just Wanna Sit Here and Read posted an interview with me and Carrie. This was previously only available in the advance reading copies. As…
My critique partner and long-time friend Gayleen Rabakukk has posted an interview with me and Carrie Jones over on her blog. Being an excellent journalist, Gayleen has done another good job. If you spread the word about her blog, where she’s always reviewing young adult literature, you can win the ARC of After Obsession I…
I tell ya what, this working with a major publisher is A-OK with me. Bloomsbury sent out around 90 advance reader copies (ARCs) of the book to review bloggers, and those reviews are starting to show up online. I’m going to link to a few of them here, ‘cause I likes to share. The first…
The UPS man brought me a gift today. I had no idea what it was, as I wasn’t expecting anything, and the envelop he left behind was pretty thin. I tore it open and found anthrax. Just kidding! It was porn. No, wait! It was this: Okay, the picture doesn’t do it justice. Here’s what…
By finished, I mean a first draft. But hey, after three years of working on it, that feels like a major accomplishment. The first draft came in at just over 100,000 words. I have another project to get back to before I begin the revision process on Nadia’s Children, but I thought I’d say a…
