Bad Moods and Togetherness
I'm wearing dark charcoal grey lipstick. A black t-shirt that says, "You're just jealous because the voices talk to me." I'ved added a touch of mascara and called it done. I'm not feeling the least bit Disney today. It's all Goth except I'm not willing to do boots or heels. It's too damned early for uncomfortable shoes, so the jogging shoes break the Goth rule of always trying to look cool, or at least dark. The shoes are white. If the Goth fashion police catch me today I'll get a ticket. I'm in one of those bad moods that… Read More

My…well…two cents worth
Hi! It is Darla. I just wanted to toss in my thanks on the events! Give a little reminder, correct a bit of misinformation and give a heads up on a unhappy albeit necessary change. First, thanks so much to everybody who trekked out. Your patience is amazing and appreciated. Especially the signifigant others and children who were so well behaved their parents should get them a treat! We know it was a long night and wait for most everyone. It was nice to chat with so many folks and hear how you came to the series. Though the… Read More

The morning after
Hey, everybody. We had the second signing for Cerulean Sins last night. It went well. It was great seeing everyone who came out. Two nights in a row when I got to bed after midnight, and I'm beat. We estimated I signed somewhere around a thousand books last night. No wonder my arm wasn't happy by the end of the evening. Somedays I think I should learn to write with both hands, so I can switch off, but then I wonder, what if both arms start to hurt? Oh, well. Thanks again to everyone who shared their time with… Read More

Getting ready for signing
The first signing is today. The first signing for the paperback release of Cerulean Sins, that is. I add that so no one gets the idea that Incubus Dreams is coming out earlier than it is. That's still end of the month. Thank God. I have so much work to do before I vanish into tour for weeks at a time. Some writers can work on tour. I have not been one of them up until now, but I'm going to give it the ol' college try. We'll see. I know that I'll be a lot happier with my… Read More

Dogs at Work
Good Morning everybody. I'm at my desk, and Jimmy is in his bed beside me. I thought Pippin was coming up, too, but he's only made two dashes into the office then, at top speeds, back out and down the hall, and down the stairs, and then right back up. He is playing some game that is a combination of tag and keep a way with Jon. It started innocently enough with Jimmy wondering back to Jon's office then following him back towards the stairs, and me just wanting to know which dogs were coming upstairs with me. My… Read More

Afraid of the book
I finally realized that I'm almost afraid to write in the blog about how well the new Merry book is going. It seems like everytime I write that I may have hit my stride in it here on the blog, I don't keep my stride. I don't think it actually has anything to do with the blog process, but more with me relaxing about having passed the hurdles. There is a point in most books where I just simply know that it's working. That I'm over the hump, but every time I build up speed for A STROKE OF… Read More

Jimmy and Pip are asleep on two different dog beds
Jimmy and Pip are asleep on two different dog beds. Jimmy in 'his' bed which is right beside my main desk, and Pip on the bigger bed that is pretty much in the middle of the floor. They are both lying on their sides with their paws stretched out, deeply asleep. Jimmy at fourteen just came up and laid down, and once he was certain I was actually going to be writing for awhile, he went to sleep. Pip, at a little over a year, played with and crushed the empty water bottle I let him have, then laid… Read More
