Another beautiful write up

Just found a beautiful review of Standing Still on a great blog, booksandfood. I feel like she really understood the book -- it's so gratifying when that happens.

Tweeting Authors Beware

A cautionary tale from salon.com this morning.

Nice write-up

Joan Hanna wrote a nice article about me in the Examiner.

Summer Reading anyone?

I guess some adults only read in the summer. Or only read on the beach. Kathye Petrie wrote an article about what writers like me are reading this summer, and it got picked up in galleycat. Cool!

Bitterature

It had to happen: someone is doing a book of twitter-sized book reviews, and it isn't the person who has been writing them since January (me.) But they have a catchy title: Twitterature, and I'm sure they will be funny.

Still doing the Wives.

This summer I'm reading every book I can find that ends in "wife."
So far I've read:

The Wife
A Suitable Wife
The Senator's Wife
American Wife

I might have to branch into 'Daughter' just to mix it up. I'm taking a break with a few un Wifey titles right now. It occurs to me that I could have named STANDING STILL "Kidnapped Wife."

Another Editor Bites The Dust!

Yes, it's true. Editor/Dominatrix #3 has left to go back to grad school and teach, because publishing wasn't low-paying enough. So I am moving on to Editor/Dominatrix #4 . . . yes, that's right, same imprint, 4th editor. Has this happened to any other writers out there? Of course some books read as if they were edited by different people about halfway through ( Edgar Sawtelle, anyone? Agree? Disagree?) But that doesn't mean they were . . .
