Sunday Morning WTFkery

Posted in wtf | 3 Comments
So, apparently I don’t listen to the radio enough these days. But mr myn was kind enough to fill me in on this new dating service called “Cougar Life”. Apparently the radio jingle goes: “Do you want to F*ck a Cougar?” (with the f-bomb bleeped out.) You stay classy, CougarLife.com Of course the sad thing is that I turn 36 in about 2 weeks – which puts me right at the beginning of Cougar territory, at least according to these guys. On the website, cougars are listed as being: Women in their PRIME: independent, sexy and wildly successful. They enjoy men that are youthful, fit with the same zest for life. Cougars are classy, confident women that already possess many of the finer things in life — but now want the young, hot guy to go with it. I dunno. I’m neither SEXY nor wildly successful, so I suppose that… Read more

Success

Posted in blog | Tagged | Leave a comment
I stayed up until just past 2 AM last night to finish up my copyedits. Which is pretty awesome, really. Now I just have to mail them off so they get to the publisher by Tuesday and then I write like mad for the next few months to get that second book done. (And thanks to my detailed outline, I’ve got a vague idea of where I’m going. *cough*) Anyway, I was pondering this morning on the meaning of success. Clearly everyone has different goals and different definitions of the term. Plus I suspect one’s personal interpretation changes as you go through life. After all, if you actually manage to accomplish your goal, then thee’s nothing left but to continue setting the bar higher, right? I sort of work within that metaphor for getting pubbed. When I was an aspiring author, getting an agent was the thing…and then the publishing deal. Now… Read more

FanGirl, Par Excellence

Posted in awesomesauce, david garrett, geek | 9 Comments
I have tickets. Or more to the point, I have *a* ticket. I also have a Meet & Greet backstage pass for after the show. It was flipping expensive. So yes, yours truly may now go and make a complete ass out of herself next February when David Garrett comes back through the DC area.  (Where upon I can shove my book in his face and say “See! See! I am awesome too! Call me and we can hang out and be awesome together. Hanging out.”)  Ha, ha. Just kidding. (Well, I might give him a copy of my book anyway, though I doubt he’ll read it. It will probably be left behind back stage, and I’ll never know. Although I’ve heard he sends most of his fan stuff back home to his mom.. Hope she’s not offended by daemon smut.) I’ve been told I must wear my Steampunk hat.… Read more

Changing of the Guard

Posted in blog | Tagged | Leave a comment
Ladies and Gents, I figured that I’d just get the word out that I am now represented by the Agent of Awesomesauce known as Suzie Townsend! ** As most of you are probably aware, Colleen Lindsay is stepping away from the agent world and is moving on to bigger and better things at Penguin. And I just want to say how grateful I am that I was her client for even a short while – she got me my deal at Pocket and that’s a Very. Good. Thing. I wish her the best of luck with her future endeavors. I’m very much looking forward to cooking up new sorts of mischief with Suzie (perhaps my new YA wip will be one of her babies in the near future? I can only hope.) ** Figured I’d just post it here since I got slammed with a ton of concerned emails this… Read more
