Can a Bookworm be a Gym Rat?

I have just spent the last three hours reading nonfiction books on fitness and health. I have fiction books languishing on my reading pile, but when we, my husband Jon and I, went to the bookstore for two things we bought more books. We usually do, but neither of us bought fiction. My rule is that I have to read at least one book off my reading pile before I buy something new. It seems reasonable, but I make an exception to the rule for research for my own writing and things that will help us live better, eat smarter,… Read More

Bullet is on The Times Lists!

Bullet is #2 on the New York Times list, and #3 on the Sunday Times list in the United Kingdom! What an amazing first week for the newest Anita Blake novel. And, yes, I would loved to have had #1 on both lists, that would be a goal worth setting, but this is the first time I’ve cracked the top five in the U.K. so #3 makes me very happy. #1 in the U. S. would have been very good, too, but Stieg Larsson is at #1. But I can think of few thinks as sad as dieing before you… Read More

This Ones for You

A lot of you wrote in and shared things you’ve gained from reading my books, and especially the Anita Blake series. Thank you.

To the young woman who said, Anita gave her the courage to go through high school still a virgin. And before the rest of you say, but there’s lot’s of sex in the series. There is now, but the first five books Anita doesn’t have a sex life, just a life. To the women who told me that Anita owning her sex life helped them own their own, and ask for what they wanted in the bedroom.… Read More

What’s the Book About?

What is the book about?

I hate that question. One, if I could give a sound bite answer then I would probably write poetry and not novels. Two, it isn’t really the question they want to ask.

What they really want to know is why should they read the book, or what will their listeners, viewers, readers, get out of reading Bullet? Now they can’t ask it like that, because it sounds rude. It’s a very aggressive question; why should we read your book, or what will we get out of it? What is the book about, is less aggressive,… Read More

Hints from Bullet

Bullet the next Anita Blake novel hits the shelves June 1st! I thought I’d blog about what the book is, and what the book isn’t. This will be the first book that I’ve tweeted and blogged, and Facebooked, extensively. One of the interesting things about Twitter is that it’s very immediate. I could write my pages of Bullet and get on-line. I did that with the emotion still fresh, the scene still bleeding from my finger tips. A lot of people loved the feeling of being so involved with the process, but a funny thing happened on the way from… Read More
