And…

I love this song so much today:

Thanks to deadlines, I’m pretty sure I’ll forget to post this later in the week. Here it is, several days early, just in case. For those of you wondering where the Calais County series came from, it started with this article both Emma and I read last year about (dubious) origins of Valentine’s Day.. More specifically, the idea came from this paragraph: The brutal fete included a matchmaking lottery, in which young men drew the names of women from a jar. The couple would then be, um, coupled up for the duration of the festival – or longer, if the match was right. Let me replay the ensuing conversation: EMMA:… Read More

You Know It’s Time To Write When…

I think I’ll have to establish some rules if I’m to continue working on two series at once: 1) No cross-series bickering. (The alarm clock interrupt a bickering match between Hector from Fantasy Heights Season Two and David from Calais County book 3.) 2) No cross-series flirting. (The bickering match above was caused by Hector flirting with both heroines from Calais County books two and three.) Yet more proof that writing is among the strangest professions…

Supplemental Post

February 6, 2014megsilver

Today’s the big day! This morning we’ll launch a contest thread over on Kayla The Bibliophile’s 5k Likes Swag-A-Thon Event page. This is a supplemental post so that anyone who needs more info, or who isn’t familiar with Fantasy Heights can learn more. Here’s what we’re doing in the contest thread: We are throwing Josh from Fantasy Heights onto the casting couch. In the Facebook thread, post a pic or name someone who YOU think Josh might look like. JOSH INFO: Described as sun-streaked blond with dark eyes. A bit older. Forty-ish. He’s a still-waters-run-deep sort. He hasn’t much to say to people he doesn’t know well. He carries a… Read More

Poor Thing

February 5, 2014megsilver

Have you read Gentleman’s Privilege yet? How about posting a review on Amazon? That poor lone review looks so lonely and despondent… (Shameless author is shameless.) #shameless Also, thank you to Momof3inFl! I want my own Zander, too.

Event Update

February 5, 2014megsilver

Here’s an updated link for Kayla’s 5k Facebook likes event. This is happening tomorrow (Thursday, 6 Feb) so go forth and find pictures of actors or models or whoever you think would make a great Josh! I can’t wait to see how you all picture him. I generally don’t cast characters, so this’ll be really fun to watch.

Coming Up

February 3, 2014megsilver

Mark your calendars! This Thursday, the 6th of February, there’s an event over at Kayla The Bibliophile‘s Facebook page. This should be fun: Readers and guests get to cast book characters by submitting pictures. Josh from Fantasy Heights will be one of the characters up for casting. I’ll get to pick a winner, which is — for me — sort of secondary to drooling over pictures of hot men all day. Woo hoo! Winner(s) can select the back-list title of their choice.

Ah, Monday
