Yeah, you guessed it. The Reader’s Choice for our leadup story to the big, bad, mass market release of Once Bitten, Twice Shy (crowd cheers pleeze!) is number one. We won’t call it a landslide, but a huge majority of you picked the following: 1. I want to read about the time before Jaz partnered [...]
Yesterday I spent most of the day moving my kid back to college for summer classes. It reminded me a bit of when I moved out (which was actually before I graduated from high school). Somehow I never felt cramped in the room I had when I lived with Mom and Dad. But after I [...]
It’s Sunday night and my loved ones and I have just returned from experiencing what hubby considers to be the most sacred day of the year—the running of the Indianapolis 500. I have cried through Taps, gasped at multiple wrecks, watched two fan fights fizzle before they could begin, and cheered as Helio Castroneves (my [...]
As I mentioned before, next month I’ll be writing a short story and releasing it in parts (as I’ve done previously) to celebrate the publication of the mass market version of Once Bitten, Twice Shy. I’ve decided the most fun way to go about this project is to ask you to choose when the action [...]
**Thanks for participating in our first vote-a-thon. I thought it was a blast. Here’s what you thought . . . 1. What’s your favorite quality in Jaz?

I’m infamous for sticking them on the people closest to me, but usually they’re those syrupy ones that make everybody else kind of gag inside their mouths. You know, “sweetie,” “honey,” “gorgeous,” and occasionally even “cutiepie.” But before I was old enough to slap nicknames on my dear ones, I’d already inherited a couple of [...]
Here’s another set of words to add to your Jaz Parks lexicon! These are taken from Biting the Bullet, a thrill-a-minute adventure set in Tehran, during which Jaz and Vayl team up with her twin brother’s Special Ops unit to take down a high level terrorist whose bodyguards happen to be zombies. Ako Nogol—[pronounced Ah’-ko [...]
I’ve heard lots of people mention their tbr piles, often in conjunction with the Jaz books. Sometimes I even imagine them, novels with glossy covers stacked one on top of the other until they’re higher than the reading lamp by the bed. And somewhere in the middle, holding strong like Jaz & Vayl themselves, a [...]
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?
