Yeah, so…I haven’t been around this blog much.  Mah bad.  I have been blogging nearly weekly over at Star-Crossed Romance (I’m one of the contributors there), so if you absolutely have been dying to get doses of Xandra, I’m there.

Now the meat of this post.  There’s a reason I haven’t been posting much on this site.  This is my Author Presence(TM), or at least, I’ve been considering it so.  And in the wake of the crapload of weekly episodes of Authors Behaving Badly that one can see just by swinging a dead LOLcat in the general direction of Romance Bloglandia, I’ve been ever-so-conscious of what comes out of my mouth (or off my keyboard) in public from the get-go.  I’m naturally a somewhat measured person in editorialization, and having seen the serious embarrassment some authors have gone through after dining on toejam sandwich, I’m terrified that I’m going to inadvertently do something similar, and to be perfectly frank, I’m such small potatoes that any blog deciding that I’m teh_batsh!t and my reputation gets transferred to the bottom-feeder’s tank with the busted aquarium light.  So I’m careful.  And careful is dead boring for the most part.  Sorry about that…just trying to keep my crazy in the asylum where it belongs.

There’s another matter, too, of the fact that I’ve been working really hard on an M/M I was trying to finish before summer started.  Because having little kids means Endless Summer Fun Is Endless and computer time (hells bells, brain time) comes at a premium, and between trying to fulfill my obligations to Star-crossed and get my M/M written means that this blog came up short and again, I’m sorry for it.

I’m currently re-thinking some things about my presence on the Internet.  I won’t leave it, and in my non-authorial life I’m in places you might not expect (or maybe you would, if you know me).   I’m just thinking about relaxing things up a little, or maybe picking a better theme for this blog.  And I’m open to suggestions, if the six or so of you who actually read this blog are up for something.
