I gotta say, you guys made my 2009 such a fun year! It wasn’t just the release of Once Bitten, Twice Shy, Another One Bites the Dust, and Biting the Bullet in mass market form last summer, or the release of Bite Marks in October. It was hanging out with cool fans like you every [...]
I was thinking about the languages the Jaz Parks series has been translated into, and realized it is imperative that we make a decision within the next few days! In what language would Jaz sound the most badass? A. English B. French C. German D. Spanish E. Russian F. Hungarian Or would it matter if [...]
But not too far from home. Today you can find me interviewing at Silk & Shadows, where I get to talk about Jaz, Vayl, and the gang and even give away some books. Join me, won’t you?
Here’s another installment of pesky words from the series. These are taken from book two, Another One Bites the Dust, in which Jaz, Vayl, and the crew unite to battle evil Chinese vampires and soul-stealing demons. Big fun! [New pronunciations added since Vale noted, quite tactfully, that I sluffed on a few. Sorry about that!] [...]
One of my favorite characters in the Jaz Parks series is Granny May. Possibly because she’s based (very loosely) on my maternal grandmother. Who was a huge sweetie, but (unfortunately) not nearly as outspoken or willing to share her opinions or advice as Jaz’s granny. Those of you who follow the series may have noticed that [...]
Check out my latest interview, which is with Onirik. It was inspired by the September release of the French translation of Once Bitten, Twice Shy. The intro is in French, but the rest is in English. And then, if you’re still in the mood for Q&A, how about you take part in a little interview conducted right here [...]
Mysteries bring us some of the greatest joys in life. We love being presented with a puzzle and figuring out how the pieces fit. Surely that’s why Sherlock Holmes is such an enduring character in our fiction. And why we continue to look for new heroes to lead us through the maze of murder, suspects [...]
…will have to wait until I have a low mileage vehicle. Or possibly a motorcycle. (I do know how to ride one. Used to tear up the country roads southeast of my house when I was too young to drive a car. But that’s another story, and one we probably shouldn’t share with the police, who have enough to [...]
How can I be so sure? Because a very kind man pointed out to me today that the Jaz Parks series is now listed in Wikipedia! I’m pretty happy with the article as it currently stands, but I’d love to know what you think. Chime in when you get a minute, will ya?
Check out Tia’s interview with me at Fantasy Debut. It was great fun!
