The Passion of a Thousand Burning Suns

Website Identity Crisis

| August 21, 2007

Yes, I know. The site suffered through several schizophrenic episodes over the past week while I putzed around with my new layout. There are several reasons, one of which has to do with me simultaneously cursing and loving on widgets with the hate/love of a thousand burning suns. Or at least a 60-watt bedside table [...]

In the Boonies (TM), No One Can Check Your E-mail

| January 23, 2007

So…I’m moving to the Boonies (TM) next week. We didn’t originally call it The Boonies, and it really isn’t as full of Boonie-goodness as it could be. I mean, we still get city water and the trash gets picked up. Plus, we got us one of them indoor-outhouses. More’n one, in fact. Now, life in [...]

Grilled and On the Hook

| November 11, 2006

I’ve been grilled!  Over some Smokin’ Hot flames.    Actually, by a Smokin’ Hot erotic romance writer.  Fellow LSB author Kate Willoughby regularly interviews authors at her blog, and to celebrate the release of “Hounded” from “A Witch In Time,” Kate put me to the grill.   Hop on over and check me out, along [...]

Na na-na NaNoWriMo!

| November 2, 2006

I’m a big sucker for goalsetting. Sometimes I’m an addict–I set so many goals and micromanage them that I don’t actually get anything done. However, NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) is different. There’s such energy–such knowledge that about 70,000 other people are doing the same damn thing as you–that you just can’t help getting caught [...]

Comments, and a Note of Thanks

| May 8, 2006

I’d like to thank Annie and Eveline from Euro-Reviews for popping in to say, “Hi!” in the comments of my last post.  Annie–I’m just incredibly glad you liked the book!  I love writing about the future, where anything’s possible–and if that possibility includes hunky men, all the better!  Eveline, I envy you your chocolate.  I [...]

Blog Stupid

| April 3, 2006

In case you dropped by sometime yesterday or today and noticed the place was a little snarly, I had to tinker with some stuff under the hood. Not to bore you with uber-g33k stuff, but I upgraded the WordPress engine that runs my little G-spot here (yes, that was a pun–flog me with a wet [...]

SEx Blogging, and Coming Live from Open Source

| March 16, 2006

I had so much fun SEx Blogging Saturday over at Silver Expressions!  It was actually a pretty remarkable thing, since my laptop (aka, my outside-brain) was on the fritz and well, being Frankensteined by Mr. Xandra at the time.  But since I did sorta plan ahead, I had drafts of posts prepared, and used the [...]

I HAD a long post about edits and such…

| March 4, 2006

…but it got eaten by stupid Windows security updates that oh-so-helpfully restart your computer when you’re not looking. This is the third time this has happened to me. Fortunately, this time, I’d saved the truly important stuff–my writing–so I didn’t lose much. Still, I had a really interesting post that went into my first experience [...]

Getting Gussied Up

| February 10, 2006

Anyone who knows me, knows that I’m no big fan of dressing up. My usual uniform is jeans and t-shirt, or cargo pants and t-shirt. Unless, that is, I’m in the other extreme of wearing medieval garb or dressing as an alien. Then, of course, all bets are off. I’m a mother of young children, [...]

It hasn’t really been forever

| February 3, 2006

since I’ve blogged…but in playing with the fun new shiny, I kinda got sidetracked into loading XAMPP on my laptop and faking an apache server and MySQL database so that I could test-drive the bazillion wordpress themes I’ve been teasing and tweaking and trying to emulate without looking like a schizophrenic with serious colorblind issues. [...]
