Trying to be calm
They say that if you have a mantra you use when you meditate that when you are in a stressful situation you can simply recall your mantra and be at peace. It's sort of a way to get a taste of that meditative calm when you can't actually meditate. I know the concept, really, I do. But the only mantra I can come up with is, "I will not throw up. I will not throw up." I was on a plane in March. Apparently, I need to be flying more often to make… Read More

The first plane ride for The Harlequin
I am trying to write something pertinent to THE HARLEQUIN for each day until the fifth of June when it's released into the stores. But, frankly, all I can think about is getting on the plane tomorrow. Therapist wisdom is that if I would fly more frequently the phobia would lessen. So, I just need to come up with some place and reason to fly about once a month. If this logic is sound then by the end of July I should be fine. Why? Because I will have done about six to eight flights under my belt by… Read More

Edward and, oh, yeah, Happy Memorial Day
Hey guys, I am three fact checks away from being done with the rewrite of A LICK OF FROST. Yea! We are about two weeks away from the release of THE HARLEQUIN, Anita number 15. I can't wait for you guys to read it and finally be able to talk about it. I think one of the hardest things about writing as fast as I do is that by the time I'm out doing publicity for a book, that it feels like I've been wanting to talk about it forever. But I thought I might talk about some stuff… Read More

new software. Ahhhhh!!!!
New software installed. Computer blew up. Twice. I love technology, when it works. When it doesn't work, well, let's just say that it's awfully pricey paper weight. Deep into the edits. Tedious stuff. Though it's always good when it's tedious. It means that it's only small fixes and the actually book stuff is fine. It means though tedious, the edit will go faster. It's like the difference between minor surgery and major. You get cut up either way, but one is just a lot quicker. I'm going to post this before the new software makes off with us again.Read More

To check, or not to check
You guys seem to like the podcast. We'll try to do more of them later. And I've heard before that my voice doesn't match what people think it will sound like. I can do sultry, but it's effort and it's not my normal voice. I figure you guys would rather hear what I actually sound like for the questions and answers. One question that someone asked on the board was that Boone was Chimera's alter ego, so he couldn't do plumbing in a latter book. True. I read the question as asked, and it said Boone. Like I said,… Read More
