Check out this new, excellent Science Fiction Romance blog!

The thoughtful and welcoming Heather has collected an awesome blogroll, laid out a comprehensive overview of the subgenre, and has initiated some really fascinating discussions — if you enjoy speculative romance of any kind, you should cruise over there and check it out.

Wishing you and the people you love a meaningful Memorial Day! 

We’re heading into a holiday weekend here in the US — let’s party!!

I was lucky enough to get into ComicCon in NYC this year, and loaded up on some pretty sweet swag — comic books, ARCs, sample books, bookmarks, and the like.  Would you like some?  I have enough to make three swag packs, with ARCs and books from Sherrilyn Kenyon, Jim Butcher, Dean Koontz, and much more.

All you have to do is leave a comment below — what is your favorite author promo or giveaway?  And have you ever bought a book because of it?

I have a contest/announcement yahoo loop that is quiet except for news updates from me, and contest giveaways.  Join here and you are automatically entered in my contests for now and evermore:

Oh, and one final plug for Brenda Novak’s renowned auction to benefit diabetes research — I’ve donated a gift basket loaded with escapism.  To check it out and make a bid, go here:

Have a fabulous weekend — I’ll announce the winners in a week.

UPDATED TO ADD:  Due to overwhelming demand ;-)  I am adding two addtional prize packs with my OWN swag — ARCs and books — including one pack with my latest relese, NETHERWOOD —  and yes, cover flats!  The finest personal swag I can provide :)  And as always, I will mail prize packs anywhere.

Again, have a wonderful weekend!

I started an LJ account, and will most likely start mirror-posting on both accounts…so many cool LJ accounts out there!  Here’s where you can find me, if you are an LJ person:

See you there!

Huge congrats to Monika Lahiri and her husband Ges Selmont — Ges just won an Emmy for their show SOX APPEAL, featured on the New England Sports Network (NESN).  Monika and I go way back, before I’d published a word of fiction, and she is a powerhouse talent.  I believed in her dreams, she believed in mine, and I know her vision for both of us kept me going.  

If you want to write, believe in the beauty of your dreams.  This time a year ago, I was without a publisher and I wasn’t sure where the writing path would take me next.  Take it from me:  your dreams can become reality in a blink of an eye.  Consider this your message from the universe for today — KEEP GOING.

My fabulous agent, Lucienne Diver, has moved to The Knight Agency — check out the announcement at the Knight Agency blog:

Lucienne is terrific, and it looks like a great match up.  Cyber-champagne toasts all around!
