Having leapt out of bed at the crack of 8:30 to try to get the dog outside before she threw up (I almost succeeded), I am now fiercely sleepy. All that adreneline rush, or something. :) Comment from my editor on the new look for PHOENIX is that while everybody in-house loved the look of the first two, numbers would indicate that readers didn’t necessarily respond similarly, so they’re hoping the new look will drive more sales. Everybody pretty much agrees that what did Bombshell in was an uncertainty of…

me & my big mouth :)
Just got the PHOENIX cover. It’s not … *bad*. It really isn’t. It’s just a bit shocking after the other two. It doesn’t match. It *does* look like standard-fare Bombshell covers, and mostly what it says to me is the line’s been cancelled so they opted not to put the time, effort and cash into these covers. It makes me want to see if I can sell the other books in the series somewhere else, and get the *next* trilogy to have matching covers…
art fact sheet :)
Working under the “easier to get forgiveness than permission” mindset combined with an, “It’s probably okay,” from the EA, I’m posting the AFS for HEART OF STONE. Quickly, my beauties! Read, before I have to take it down or flock it! :) (Also, the EA just told me this was the best AFS he’d ever seen. My, how cheerful I am!) I don’t believe this contains any spoilers or much in the way of information that you wouldn’t get from reading the back of the book, more or less, but…
le oops
Got email last night from my editor’s assistant, who said, more or less, “Oops. I need the art fact sheet for HEART OF STONE by, uh, tomorrow, can you help me out?” I have absolutely no idea if other houses do this, but Harlequin asks the author to fill out an AFS to get information on what kinds of things oughta be on the cover. My own experience with doing the AFSs so far has been freaking brilliant: with THE CARDINAL RULE, I cited Sandra K. Moore’s Bombshell, THE ORCHID…
i’m awake!
In about twelve seconds my bright perkiness from walking home is going to wear off and I’m going to remember I’ve got a cold and collapse like a collapsy thing, but right now I’m all O.O and awake. Class was good. The verb conjugations I never learned satisfactorily in high school (primarily nosotros/vosotros) did not, somehow, in the past sixteen years, magically clarify themselves in my mind, and still kick my ass. I must remember to *study*. I must not put studying off until tomorrow every single day. I must…
