As I mentioned earlier, my team at Little, Brown Book Group in the UK asked me to whip up something special for Halloween. And since I only had enough of my Ghosts in the Graveyard dessert for twelve, I wrote a piece called Taking Out the Trash: A Jaz Parks Mini-Mission. You can read the whole [...]
…and a short one at that. The week’s busting at the seams with a Halloween bash coming up, followed by my Nov. 1 Bitten to Death deadline, followed by my Nov. 2-3 trip to the World Fantasy Convention in Saratoga Springs, New York. Do I know how to schedule or what? Next week–collapse! (Yeah, I’ll [...]
What a fantastic holiday! Not quite on a par with Christmas. Or the birthday. But right up there in the top three. Love giving candy to the little ones and seeing their adorable costumes.

Well, actually, as part of a general shopping spree in celebration of the fulfillment of this lifetime dream of mine, we went to a bookstore where, by golly, we saw Once Bitten, Twice Shy on the shelf! Maybe I should give you [...]
You could be the lucky recipient of a copy of my new book, Once Bitten, Twice Shy! Angela over at SciFiChick.com is giving away three copies, courtesy of my publisher, Orbit. It’s easy to enter, so I’d encourage you to visit her site. It’s worth staying and cruising around too. Lots of neat things to see. [...]
I just finished the first draft of Bitten to Death. Okay, let’s all sit back in our chairs and sigh. Cool. No happy dances yet. Still too much work to do. It was awfully hard to write. Can’t put my finger on why, unless it was just the distraction of having Once Bitten come out [...]
