Team Phin

Posted in blog | Tagged , , | 2 Comments
Since I’ve had a fair amount of interest in the possibility of t-shirts and other items made with designs inspired by A Brush of Darkness, I’m unveiling the first potential design today. Not quite a Team Phin, but not too far off. I will probably start this off on a t-shirt, but I’m open to suggestions as to other items as well. (Seriously – mugs? stamps? tote bags? What do you guys want? Are there other things you’d like to see? I’ve had requests for Midnight Marketplace stuff too. No promises, obviously, but I’ll see what I can do.) I suspect I’ll probably have a set of business cards made up with this design, simply because I can. At the moment, I’m currently in the process of investigating print and online store options, but I will hopefully have a few prototypes soon. (And I should have some to give away… Read more

Brush of Darkness Jewelry!

Posted in blog | Tagged , , , | 2 Comments
Special news today, folks – the awesome @psynde of Cemetery Cat Designs has unveiled a new line of jewelry based on A Brush of Darkness! The line is called CrossRoads and KeyStones. (Please note that the store only shows what’s in stock – within 15 minutes of the announcement on Twitter two of the three pieces were sold, but I’m putting the pictures up here anyway, since synde is making more and will take orders as well) <== This is Abby’s necklace, Heart of the Dreaming. (I believe the heart will be larger in the next set) <== This is Melanie’s necklace, Fiddler’s Green <== This is the TouchStone bracelet. I believe there will be different colored stones upon each creation, since each TouchStone bond is different. 🙂 There will be several additions as well, including pieces for Brystion and Phineas, and possibly a few more.    … Read more

Reluctantly Adult

Posted in blog | Tagged , , | 4 Comments
I have the awesome good fortune today to announce that I’m now an official member of the The League of Reluctant Adults! Apparently writing about panty-sniffing unicorns has more side benefits than I knew. I actually find this horrendously amusing and somewhat unexpected, but it’s also gratifying because the league is filled with snarky people…and my inner child is often all about the snark. It’s also a bit ironic for me, because two years ago I attended my first Romantic Times con, and many of the panels I went to had league members as speakers. And there I was, all dewy eyed and clutching my newly finished manuscript and wandering around  wondering what the hell I was doing. And now I get to be one. 🙂 I still don’t know what I’m doing, by the way – not sure that will ever change. I do know I’ll be blogging over there about… Read more

Friday Ramblings

Posted in blog | Tagged , , | 2 Comments
First thing today is a massively huge squee to my friend Bluenail (aka the Ninja Knitter), who sent me these fabulous hand-made arm socks. (or fingerless wrist-warmers, whichever). They are so soft and pretty and *warm*. I’ve been begging for a set of these since I’ve known her and now I get to cackle with glee every time I look down at my hands. *cackle* So, there we go. Otherwise, I am blogging over Sci Fi Chick today about Brystion and a little bit on romancing an incubus, so feel free to stop on by and ask a few questions if you like. Oh and for a bit of random amusement, apparently my book was selected by Mark Henry as part of his “Read a book in one day” challenge. He likes my smutty cover, so we’ll see how well that goes.… Read more

(And, OMG, the tweets! The tweeting has been insane!) And flowers from Danielle! (And silly pictures of unicorns in underwear and hedgehogs!) Also very, very cool? The League of Reluctant Adults very own Mark Henry has just awarded me with the very first League of Reluctant Adults Snark Certification. @Phintheunicorn is *so* proud. 😀 And the iPod Touch giveaway is about to go live in about 30 minutes, so I hope to see you all there soon!
