Kidnapped!

Agent Z offered to be my bestie then kidnapped me! Then offered me up. Go take a look at The Galaxy Express post.

Help me, Blogger Buddies! You're my only hope!

2012 Lesbian Fiction Appreciation Event

I'm a bit behind in posting this, but lucky you! The great 2012 Lesbian Fiction Appreciation Event is going on at Babbling About Books and More through January 21! There are some great insights into publishing, reading and discovering lesbian fiction by authors and publishers. Plus, some fab giveaways!

The F/F market isn't as "mainstream" as the M/M market seems to be, but the following is strong and getting stronger. Which is good, considering what I have in mind for the next couple of books : )

I'll be posting my publishing journey on the 14th, but please drop in and say hello. Even if you aren't a reader of lesbian fiction the posts are interesting and heart-felt. Good stuff!

Free Read and a Giveaway

A bit late, but there's still time to pop on over to Jessica E. Subject's blog for her Science Fiction Romance Holiday Festivities and read some cool short stories, get inside info about some of the worlds some great authors have created, and win things like books and such! (Note: some of the contests have closed, but there are still great reads!)

I have a free read up too! A short, sexy piece where my two heroines from Rulebreaker celebrate Founder's Day. Also, a book and gift card giveaway.

So head on over, read some fun SFR, and maybe win a thing or two!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Here and There

Going visiting and having visitors is always a lot of fun. Like swapping houses a la the movie The Holiday.

So, I'm visiting the Fantasy, Futuristic & Paranormal chapter of the RWA today. I give my $0.02 on revisions. Pop in and say hi.

On Friday, the lovely and gracious Heather Cashman will be here. I have a few questions about her life as a writer and her fantasy novel Perception.


Look for more visitors and visitings in the next couple of weeks.

And don't forget your copy of Rulebreaker : )

Tuesday August 23 I'll be posting at Castles and Guns talking about Bad Girls and why we love them. Look for a giveaway there, too.

See you out on the Interwebs!

Elsewhere: Contact Infinite Futures

Over at the Carina Press SF/SFR blog Contact: Infinite Futures today talking about moral dilemmas and the brain. It's not nearly as boring as it sounds, I promise : )

Over at Contact-Infinite Futures Today

I have a short post over at the Carina Press SF/SFR blog, Contact-Infinite Futures, about John Travolta having been considered for the part of Han Solo, and a little more on how movies fix a character in our head. Consider movie characters and the actors we associate with certain roles. Would anyone else fit the bill? Pop on over and leave a comment.

Update: Rulebreaker will be released in less than three months! I received the preliminary cover from the art team and Oh. My. God! It's gorgeous. Liv and Zia are perfectly portrayed. Better than anything I could have wished for. And yes, I am a dork and look at it at least once a day. When the final-final cover is approved, I'll post it, of course. For now, you'll have to live with my teasing : )
