Please forgive me while I settle a behind-the-scenes girly-slap fight in public. AND I e-mailed someone for corroboration. So nyah. (It’s Thursday. I’m allowed to be an immature prat on Thursdays.

You want to know the only bad part of being an obsessively proud half-million-mile Toyota owner? The part where there’s a polar vortex and your beloved, ultra-reliable vehicle says, “Oh HELL no. I am not starting at 50 below this time.” (Never let it be said I can’t anthropomorphize a thing.) So instead of answering e-mails, thanking a ton of folks and touching base with our new betas, I’ve been dealing with my metallic child’s issues. Sorry. Tomorrow should be better. (Yes, I realize I probably shouldn’t have said that out loud.) Meanwhile, Gentleman’s Privilege seems to be selling pretty well. Have I mentioned lately that you lot rock? Thank… Read More

If you haven’t already, please head on over to Facebook and give the Kayla The Bibliophile page a like. They’ll be doing a 5k-likes party soon, and there will likely be some Fantasy Heights shenanigans involved. In other news, Barnes & Noble is STILL processing Gentleman’s Privilege. I need to withdraw into the writing cave today but I promise I’ll keep an eye on them. As soon as we’re live, I’ll update the Calais County page as well as the previous post. E-mail notifications will go out tonight or tomorrow. Also, yes, there are two more planned Calais County books. We’ve got two more Marshall boys to go: Alex (the… Read More

Happy Monday! I’m still waiting on two final proof-markups for Gentleman’s Privilege. As soon as those are in and all our issues are resolved, we’ll have a new release! Best estimate is tomorrow, Tuesday 28th of January. Wednesday at the latest. Time out for me to say a special thank you to Jenny Rose Flynn. She stepped in this weekend to cover for a couple of betas who were down with flu. Emma and I both appreciate her help, big time. BOOK DESCRIPTION: (the Cliff-note version) A secret society’s risque ritual offers Maggie Brandeis an escape from dire straits. To start a new life, all she has to do is… Read More

Anyone ready for an excerpt?
Continue ReadingWorld, Meet Zander
Okay, looks like Zander will win the naming poll. Awesome name; it reminds me of Buffy (which I am currently watching because I ALWAYS watch Buffy Season 1 while revising). If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you already know that it’s a bit on the nippy side in Silverville today. I wouldn’t mind so much, but the mom-taxi grind when it’s this cold + deadline = big time cranky. So. Retreating into the work cave until I have to go out again. Stay warm!

Thanks to the gorgeous weather, the editorial meeting that was supposed to happen today? Yeah, not happening. We met over the phone instead, and Emma says it’s time we pick up a couple more Alpha/Beta readers. So. If you’re interested in pursuing one of those spots, the first step is filling in this form. The form tells a bit more about what beta-reading with our team actually entails which, as fun as it might sound, can be pretty hard work now and again. Back to work with me. I hope everyone out there is safe. This winter crap is getting seriously old, isn’t it?
Continue ReadingMonday Silliness
Since I have terribly exciting things to deal with today (daughter’s dentist appt), and I’m supposed to be working on FH Season 2 this week, we have time to have some (more) fun with our poor nameless Gentleman’s Privilege hero. Let’s have an official vote! I compiled a list of all the suggestions. If you don’t find your suggestion among the candidates, don’t take it personally. For instance, “Simon” will always get eliminated because of the dreaded “Simon said” dialogue tag. Other omissions happened due to the starting-letter conflict, and still others bit the dust because of an association. For instance, “Ethan” got eliminated because one of my best friends… Read More
