Here’s another great chance to win a copy of the third installment of Jaz and Vayl’s adventures at AmberKatze’s blog!  You have until Sunday 4pm CET to comment.  Good luck!

I thought you’d get a kick out of Manny here, who lives with Tez Miller. I think he’s got the Jaz ‘tude down, don’t you?

Yup, today’s the big day! It’s just after 7:30 a.m. and I’m already having a blast. Just opened the presents from the kiddies. First a series of cards. A dancing dog saying, “Hooray for you! You did great!” Then a smiling sun with the sentiment, “Hope you’re feeling sunny again soon!” (Wha?) Then falling maple [...]

Here’s what happens after you sign the contract to write five books for your awesome new publishing house… First your editor, who is an adorable New Yorker who talks so fast sometimes you have to say, “Slow down, Devi, I didn’t catch that last bit,” sends you a long, long letter detailing all the ways [...]

Teresa W! Teresa, if you would e-mail me your address (you’ll find my Contact tab at the top of the page) I will send it on to Robert, who will mail you your copy of Orphanage. Congratulations! Birthday Rehash   So, as promised, the picture of the Cinnamon Roll Fort (or THE FORTRESS as my [...]

I’m so excited I could do a Snoopy dance, and I haven’t even caffeinated myself this morning!  Let’s all welcome Robert Buettner to the site, shall we?  (Round of applause backed by squeals from some leftover New Year’s Eve blowouts.  I knew you dudes hadn’t thrown yours away!)

I’m looking forward to a couple of really neat items for you guys in the near and not so near future.  Next week I’ll be welcoming a fellow Orbit author to the site for a (hopefully!) lively conversation combined with a way-cool giveaway.  And I’ve been talking with the supah-sleek publicity team at Orbit, who [...]

Now if I could just figure out what I’m doing!  I like the idea of writing on a wall, but do I get to use crayons?  And is somebody’s mom going to yell at me afterward?  Also, what’s the deal about networks?  Somehow it just makes me feel like this enormous spider shooting out stickies [...]

I finally got to see Sweeney Todd the other day.  I know, I know.  Old news to you avid moviegoers.  What can I say?  I avoid cinemas like the plague.  Which means I’m always a year late on these discussions.  Naw, I won’t bore you with a rehash.  But I will say I’m seriously considering [...]
