The “Lost” Brush of Darkness Scene

Posted in blog | Tagged , , | Leave a comment
Well, it’s not *really* a lost scene – more of an easter egg, I guess. For my guest post over at Tynga’s site today, I was asked to write up a discussion/dialog between Abby and Ion about sex in literature. Forgetting for a moment that Ion is an incubus and probably has a lot to say on the matter, I don’t always do very well with the forced discussion type posts, so for my purposes I thought short one-shot seemed like a better deal. (And given that Abby works in a used bookstore, the setting seemed pretty obvious.) Of course, Phineas does show up…and drives the conversation straight down into the gutter, but what else would you expect? As far as the story goes, it’s not technically canon for A Brush of Darkness, but I can certainly see it happening if circumstances were a little different. So stop on by… Read more

Paranormal Spring Break

Posted in blog | Tagged , | 1 Comment
Just a little heads up that I’m going to be involved in the Paranormal Spring Break event next month. Sounds like there’s going to be all sorts of great bogs posts and giveaways from a lot of authors, so definitely think about stopping by. My contribution will be a short piece that was originally supposed to be a “discussion” between Abby and Brystion on sex in literature. (And yes, Phin shows up and things rapidly go downhill, I’m afraid.) I’ll also be giving away a copy of A Brush of Darkness, of course. 🙂… Read more

You know, it probably says something about me that I received TWO of these cards yesterday. One came from my friend Heather (mwah!)…and mr myn bought me one too – not to give it to me specifically, but because he saw it at the store and thought I might want to pass it along to someone else. (Of course, he also bought chocolate cupcakes, so it was a win all the way around.) *ahem* At any rate, I’m over at the Book Binge today talking a little bit about writing a series (or really the history as to how mine got started). Stop on by and comment for a chance to win a copy of BoD. Also, what with Valentine’s coming up, I leave with this fantastic link to some of the most awesome lines in literature.… Read more

Word Whore Thursday

Posted in blog | Tagged , , | 1 Comment
I’m over at Word Whores today talking a little bit about my neurotic tendencies dealing with reviews. And speaking of reviews, the blog-o-sphere blew up a bit yesterday with this post over at Authors Helping Authors. The original post was changed since it went up, but as you can see by the crazy number of comments, clearly a nerve was struck. And whichever side of the line you fall on, it’s pretty obvious that it’s a no-win situation, and it’s why authors really shouldn’t go there. Authors and reviewers – we’re all human and we all make mistakes and we all get angry and hurt, but the internet has made it so easy to shove your foot so far down your own throat that you’d be crapping boot leather for a week. There are times when it is really better to just walk away. The Millions had an excellent article… Read more
