Day 2 of the Tour: Mercedes Gets Jack’d

Somehow I knew that title would get your attention. My friends, meet Jack Wallen. This pretty, delightful man writes stories that will scare your socks off. Besides that, he does the most intriguing series of author’s interviews, and was gracious enough to host me for the 2nd stop on the Beautiful Sorrows blog tour!  I promise that you’ve never read … Read More

I Don’t Think That Word Means What You Think It Means

Apparently my theme song for the moment is this:     when it should be this:     Two separate people told me to slow down today. Perhaps I’d better listen. And did you ever think you’d hear these two songs together? On this blog, nonetheless? You’re welcome.

A Face Full of Happy

Are you ready to be blasted with a face full of happy? Might want to put on some shades, my friend, because the sunshine is coming. First, I’m delighted to report that the Limited Edition hardcover of Beautiful Sorrows sold out! It’s shipping as far and wide as my parent’s house (thanks, Dad!), Ireland, and Macedonia. (Macedonia?

BEAUTIFUL SORROWS is Selling Out!

http://www.shocktotem.com/09/26/2012/beautiful-sorrows-selling-fast/

I think that I just experienced the best weekend of my life.  We launched the pre-release issues of Beautiful Sorrows and sold out all 50 copies that we had.  The Limited Edition Hardcover (we’re only making 50) is available for pre-order.  We only have 19 of those and expect to sell out soon.  Can you believe this?  I can’t!  I have wonderful pictures to show you, but first I need to get on the ball and prepare for the Beautiful Sorrows blog tour that kicks off in October!  Take a quick look at the Shock Totem page to see the staff together for the first time, and also to get ordering information.  

What a fantastic experience! I can’t wait to share it with you soon!

Mama Always Said To Dream Big

Today is a day of great things. I’m slowly kicking the cold that was kicking me.  The banner came for Beautiful Sorrows, so I’ll be able to take it with me to book signings.  Killercon starts in a week (wahoo!). My darling Angry Ginger came by and chatted for a while. And I just learned that I was mentioned in … Read More

Today

When I’m not writing, this is 1/3 of what I’m doing. We walked down to the corner to see Daddy off to work.     Wild hair, purple dress, and red heels.  That’s my girl.
