Monday…and Contest Winner!

Posted in blog | Tagged contest, updates | 1 Comment

Clearly I didn’t blog yesterday…but since I hit you guys up like three times on Friday, I figure a little overlap is okay. Besides, yesterday was a bit of a cluster, so I will give myself a pass on that. I spent about 12 hours off-roading with the family on Saturday. Off-roading isn’t generally my thing, but I can usually get some writing done on the way down and back (usually a few hours each way), so that’s always worth something. Plus it was a nice family day and those are becoming a bit more rare than I’d like, so I wanted to take advantage of the time while I could. Sunday…started off with good intentions. I dragged mr myn out to look for a new treadmill (finally – I know I’d said I was going to get one like two months ago, but things just didn’t work out until… Read more

Word Whore Thursday

Posted in blog | Tagged random, sick, swag, updates, word-whores | 1 Comment

I’m over at Word Whores today, talking about small indulgences. Also, I’m sorta whining about my 11th birthday, but hey, at least I’m honest about my motivations. I’m also over at Ramblings of a Chaotic Mind, talking about world building. Aside from that, I’m home sick again today. (Working from home, but definitely too messed up to drive anywhere). Works out okay because I had a chunk of siding blow off the house this weekend and now I can be here to have someone come put it back on. Which is good because when the wind blows it sounds like a small train is about to come hurtling through the kids’ bathroom. (About four am, I wake up and fine one or both kids in bed with me because the noise is freaking them out.) I have managed to get my faery costume in order for the RT ball, however,… Read more

Saturday Ramblings

Posted in blog | Tagged anthology, back pain, jewelry, random, updates | 4 Comments

Of course, the problem with having such an awesome and incredible week is that you eventually have to come back down to reality. My reality is that wearing heels for eight hours on Tuesday has led back into a massive pain cycle. Whee. Thank the gods for lidocaine patches, is all I can say. Nothing like a little numbing action to take the edge off. It’s still not quite right but at least I don’t want to jump out the window anymore. Ironically, even though it hurt the next few days afterwards, the pain is in a different place than it usually is – so in a sick sort of way it actually felt good, because the normal pain areas were getting a break. If that makes any sense. But by Friday night all bets were off. Today is tolerable and I’ll take that. Can’t get into the doctor’s until… Read more

Conventions and Such

Posted in blog | Tagged aad, conventions, updates | Leave a comment

I’ve officially signed up for a third convention this summer – the Authors After Dark con in Philly. And hey, I’m actually going to be on a few panels in this one (look for me specifically on the one about odd paranormal creatures in books. Go figure.) Even though the con starts on Thursday, I won’t actually be able to make it until Friday morning, my schedule being what it is – but I’ll definitely be there for the book signing on Saturday and the SteamPunk party. So that’s three cons this summer (plus a cruise in the Bahamas). Plus book 3 due in August. Gonna be crazy, but I suspect I’ll survive. *cough* Anyway. I’ve also gone ahead and gotten a PO Box. I’ve had a few requests for signed copies of BoD, and if you head over to the Contact form on my author site, I’ve got the… Read more

Guest Post and Giveaway…and Updates

Posted in blog | Tagged brystion, giveaway, guest post, interview, updates | Leave a comment

I am over at Cherry Mischievous today with a post on the world building of A Brush of Darkness. I’m talking a little bit about the True Thomas poem and I used that to devide my otherworldly creatures into three distinct Paths. Leave a comment to win a copy of the book! I also forgot to mention that I was over at All Things Urban Fantasy yesterday for an author interview as well! And…Brystion had his cards read over at Tarot by Arwen this week! They were crazy accurate…but unfortunately the incubus clammed up over a number of the questions. Guess he doesn’t like to reveal too much personal information to the public. *shrugs* Hell, I’m the author and half the time I don’t know his motivation until I write it down. And since I took off yesterday from all things work or book related, today I head back into… Read more
