It’s raining, but it’s warm and cozy in here. I’ve decided not to go to the grocery store–it will be a madhouse today, plus there’s nothing I really need . I’ve still done my hair and everything up as if I’m expecting to, and it feels good. ...

Oh, my GOD, you guys. You guys. After a totally cruddy fall…oh, my GOD. My editor called me not half an hour ago with the news that Betrayals, the second in the Strange Angels series , is #5 on the New York Times Children’s Paperback Bestseller list for Dec. 6th. I think I ...

Today, ladies and gents, I am pleased and proud to announce the official release of the fourth Jill Kismet book, Flesh Circus . The Cirque de Charnu has come. They will clean out the demons and the suicides, and move on. As long as they stay within the rules, Jill Kismet can’t deny them ...

Sometimes the days when I am most productive are the days I feel like I’ve gotten nothing done, because of the sheer amount of time I’ve spent running around with my hair on fire. I guess adulthood, motherhood, and working in publishing are all like that. So here I am with one ...

First, the updates: there’s the Bitten By Books interview with me , where I answered a ton of questions. I had a great time. Go check them out! Plus there’s a new interview with Tanith Lee , my all-time favorite author. And, in case you haven’t heard, here’s the ...

When I am so discombobulated I can’t even remember how to run my coffeemaker… …you know it’s time for Revisions Deathmarch. The blessed caffeine is going to be hitting my bloodstream during the typing of this short post, so forgive me any irregularities. Oh, and check ...

Crossposted to the Deadline Dames , where you can find tons of writing advice, fun stuff, and giveaways. Check them out! When I start out the day singing the Indigo Girls in the shower ( Come On Home is Saul’s song for Jill) you know it’s a bittersweet day. Dishes stacked, the ...

I’ve been shamefully neglecting blogging lately. Partly because the only things I’m thinking about, really, are personal things I’m not sharing with the world. It might not seem like it, but I am a very private person. Here, you get to see some parts of me. But not all.  ...

Yesterday was a comedy of errors, ameliorated somewhat by my friend Red Argyle and his girlfriend coming over for family bowling night. We had a lot of fun, and I tried a new recipe . It came out very well, even if I couldn’t find flank steak. The cavalcade of errors included my kitchen ...

Today’s writing post is another oldie–from April 27, 2007. For various reasons, once I reread it this morning I started crying. I still believe, very strongly, that art saves lives. I have made it through two marriages now, and the Infamous Vampire Novel I refer to below has been ...

At the end of this post you’ll get a chance to win a signed copy of Betrayals . I’ll just tell you that up front. My beautiful weekend suddenly sprouted Things To Do like a wet log in the forest sprouting mushrooms. Not even the good kind of mushrooms either–not edible or, ...

I signed up for NaNoWriMo this year, but I haven’t finished the one book I was working on. ARGH. This is going to be fun. On the bright side, this will give my discipline a little extra boost. I can always use that. So if you don’t see me around for a while, I’m probably ...

This post is from the old Midnight Hour writing blog, where I used to do Friday posts. The Midnight Hour is defunct now–sad because I liked it so much. But I managed to get my entries off before it went bust, which means I can offer you this one. This is from November 23, 2007, and I ...

There’s an interview with me up over at Publishers Weekly’s Genreville. They asked me all sorts of questions about urban fantasy. And, yesterday, guess what happened? I was just hanging out on my front step, minding my own business, when FedEx dropped off a box. Guess what was in ...

I do not like American football [1] . For a long time I have considered it a shameful waste–a waste of young men, a waste of tax revenue for the stadiums, a waste of energy and enthusiasm. I realize not many people share my views. That’s OK. I’m used to that. When I was ...
