Unseelie is still due to be released soon but you know how things go–it’ll be out before we know it though and wheee, lol.  Also, Drollerie is having a 10% sale–no, you don’t just get ten percent of the book!  Go to the bookstore on drollerie.com and check out the books available and get a summer discount between now and July 4th, 2008!  Happy summer reading!

It’s almost here! Just a bit over two months till Unseelie is OUT THERE!  I’m almost done with my own personal final edits to the follow up so I can submit it for consideration as well as a nifty little story that bridges ancient and modern worlds, Maxwell’s Demon.  Wish it luck, the little muse-riddled thing!  *smile*

Read at least the first link and see why so many people are seeing red over Sally Kern’s comments.  At the bottom of the list of links is contact info for her office as well as a link to Human Rights Campaign’s petition.

Drollerie’s ‘zine is up and readable! There’s a TON of great stories and such in there so go, scurry, read! I’m honored to have a short story there, so this isn’t entirely altruistic, lol. Widow’s Walk is in there, waiting.

Long time, no post! Happy Holidays, whichever you choose to celebrate!  So much stuff going on here–more writing, a short story coming out in Drollerie’s new ‘zine, an article coming out in Shimmy This! and finishing up the sequel to Unseelie to see how that turns out!  I hope everyone out there is having a wonderful winter season and this coming year I resolve to update this blog at LEAST once per week!

Have a great one! And be safe tonight–New Year’s Eve can be CRAZY!

I have an article (under my belly dance name, lol) coming out in Shimmy This magazine! More info to come…

Sadly, I did not finish my NaNoWriMo entry BUT I do have a TON of good material for the latest saga (lol) that I’m working on!  I never thought I’d write so much supernatural romance type stuff but I guess, in a former existence, I was a frustrated sidhe getting rejected from the faerie version of a publishing house!  While I’m toodling around the new digs (Deena set up this site and it’s omgfab) I’m going to be changing my author pic soon so… yeah, lol, that’s about all of my excitement! OH! EXCEPT…

Unseelie is slated to be edited soon, according to Deena and TPTB so wheeee!  (and I totally blew my goth points there)

(the quote is from Barthes)

Well, I’m doing it again… I’m working on a novel for NaNoWriMo.  I figured, since the first one worked out so well (hey, it’s finally getting published! Whooo! Two years and untold queries later, Drollerie was the fantabulous publishing house that accepted it and I’m still giddy about it!), let’s try again.  I have so many ideas to work on that I get paralyzed with panic in my writing, though!  I want to work on x, no y! Wait, what about ABC and D?  *sigh*  Could be worse… could be totally and utterly blank.  Check out www.nanowrimo.org if you’re a glutton for punishment!

Nothing But Red has extended the submission deadline till December 1, 2007.  If you haven’t read about this project or the impetus behind it, you can find out more here…

Long time no post!  Mea maxima culpa!  *wink*  Real Life ™ has been insane and it’s become one of those things where Real Life ™ and Writer Life ™ has blurred into one!  Which is exciting and scary at the same time, lol!  I’ve finally admitted to friends and family that I read romance novels.  Say it loud, say it proud.  It horrified a professor that I do this and not something weighter like immersing myself in Forester or Woolf.  While I do appreciate Woolf and Forester and numerous classics and modern novels, there’s times when nothing beats a good romance novel (or a bad one if you’re in a mood for a laugh).  That said… do you feel any writing is art or just elevated forms, as the nabobs say?
