Gah. My head hurts. Yes, I’m sick. Tonsilitis I’m sure. I’ve had it umpteen times in my life so I sorta know it. Fever = massive headache. So, I’m gonna drop a Marcus on you, promise to come back and post by New Year’s Eve, and go back to bed. After all these years, he’s still cover material. Yum! Hope your Christmas was all you hoped it would be! »View More

Today, I have a Tuesday Tune and then I’m gonna get all personal on you. When people ask me what my favorite Christmas song is, I usually offer up the old carols. The songs I sang in accapella choir. The Boar’s Head Carol, the Coventry Carol, the Holly & the Ivy, Carol of the Bells… you know the stuff. The very old non-commercial stuff. I could tell you all about the Coventry Carol and Lady Godiva and some other stuff, but MEH. No one cares anymore. Everyone likes modern music. Madonna doing Santa Baby. That Mariah Carey song. Aaron Neville. Don’t get me wrong. I like...

It’s a mad rush week for me. Lots to do at the office if I want to take off Christmas Eve. I need to do four days work in about two and a half days. Gonna be pushing myself hard and getting really tired. But come Christmas Eve morning, when I get up at my usual time after all, but get to sit at my desk in my pajamas, drinking coffee and licking whipped cream… it will be worth it. I might even have to do a little work at home that morning to finish up, but it will still be worth it. Ahhh. Nothing like working in your jammies. I’m off to the post office today at lunch so some...

I made one. Yes, indeedy. Took last year’s and changed it. The credits at the end are a list of what I am thankful for this year. Make sure you watch it all. Now, didn’t I promise you some feminine hotness? So here’s sorta how I see my three Tales heroines. Shifting Winds heroine: Elysia Granville, actress Naomi Watts Hot Water heroine: Eden Antaeus, actress Sofia Vergara Ride the Lightning heroine: Emily Carrington, actress Natasha Henstridge And there you have it! A look at sorta how the heroes and heroines of the Tales series appear to me. None of the photos do justice...

I was left blinking in a bit of shock at the annual company Christmas party on Saturday night. No, it’s not about who showed up with whom, although there was a bit of that kinda shock rippling through the room. I got into a little discussion with my friend Liz (the one I jokingly call the “Evil” HR Manager after Catbert) and one of the VPs. A female VP. Who is reading Tales of the Darkworld Volume One. I’ll admit to having a little case of the jitters over her reading my book. After all, the vampires own a cemetery! She’s one of my bosses. I kinda worried whether...

It’s a Tuesday Tune for the holidays. I love Soundgarden so this has been one of my fave Christmas songs ever since I first heard it. Last night was a special Jester Show featuring Dave2 of Blogography. They talked about a lot of interesting stuff from iPhone apps and politics to touching up supermodels and cruise ships. Iron-Fist (Vahid) called in as did Snackiepoo (Hilly) and me. My very short convo with them at the end of the show was about Throbbing Vampire Cock, my favorite Davetoon of all time. If you didn’t get a chance to listen in to the show live, check out the podcast...

Today, I get to play the Rain Game. Yes, the rain has finally hit SoCal. And I have a shredded wiper blade and bent wiper arm. So Rott gets to take me to work in the SUV, put the Intrepid in the garage, and change the blades. Or he can just take me to work every day that it rains. Makes no difference to me. The SUV is a lot nicer than the Dodge that’s for sure. Strangely enough, Rott does like the Dodge. He swears it saved his life once cause it has so much power. Men are sometimes easily pleased. I’ve had several things I’ve been working on this past weekend. I completed...

I’m blinded by the spotlight once more. I’ve been on radio shows before. Shows that were hosted by my friends. I wasn’t that nervous. I love those people (Hilly, Jester, Karl, Fab, Turnbaby, Kyra) and being on their shows was easy. Awhile back I did ARe’s What’s Hot in Romance. It was a quick bit because I wasn’t the only author on. The hostess made it easy and my familiarity with how it works kept my nerves at bay. Tonight, I’m back in the spotlight on Phoebe Jordan’s Talk About My Favorite Authors Blog Talk Radio show. That’s a full 90...
