Where Have I Been?

I'm Speechless!

So, this morning as I rode the elevator to my office at work, I checked my Amazon statistics--like I do every morning--and I discovered this: For those of you who aren't authors and don't check Amazon like you're waiting for a text from your crack dealer, this is a ranking page. Wilde's Fire's current sales rank is in the 11000 range, which is pretty darn awesome, but I'm #81 in a category sales rank, which is drop-dead AMAZINGLY AWESOME! My...

Flattery and All That Stuff

My sister-in-law called me Sunday evening to wish me a happy birthday. She was out of town on Saturday, so we didn't get to talk then. When I answered the phone, she was giggling, and I knew this wasn't your average phone call. Apparently she went camping over the weekend, and Saturday night she was walking in the forest, without a flashlight, and thought she saw one of these: Now, seeing one of these would freak out even the bravest of men and...

Birthday Party Announcements!

Thank you to everyone who participated in my birthday bash! I had a great day, and I even converted to the "dark side" by requesting a Kindle--which my family bought for me--to read on. Yes, I still love the smell and feel and all that of paper books, but now I can buy books the instant they come out! No more trips to the store. No more laboring over the price . . . although, the first book I purchased for my Kindle was ungodly expensive. $11 for an ebook?? Okay, I'm rambling. I'm sure you're all dying to know who won the stuff. Drum Roll...

Murder Mystery Suspect Dughbal Questioned

Earlier this week we introduced a very nefarious character - Dughbal from Wilde's Fire (Darkness Falls), AKA "Darkness." You don't get much more evil than Darkness itself, so naturally, this otherwordly god had to be on the suspect list. Not only is he evil, he's powerful, AND he's a shifter so it wouldn't be hard for him to take on the form of any other suspect to kill Lenny Glow. Let's see how the detectives do... Pssstt...Wilde's...
