Charity Auction: PURPLE PLUMERIA
This year, for Brenda Novak’s annual online auction for diabetes research, I’m giving away the last of the Purple Plumeria tote bags (with the Meadows crest so cunningly designed by Shelli), along with a signed copy of The Ashford Affair— and one of my four remaining advance copies of The Passion of the Purple Plumeria.…
Read More"Purple Plumeria" ARC Contest
Last chance to enter the current contest for an advance copy of The Passion of the Purple Plumeria! The contest closes at midnight tonight. (Or rather, before I wake up on Wednesday morning, since I tend to be rather lackadaisical about an hour here or there.) You can find the rules here…. Winners will be…
Read MorePURPLE PLUMERIA Give Away!
On Tuesday, two packages showed up on my doorstep: my author copies of The Ashford Affair and a box of advance copies of The Passion of the Purple Plumeria. Of course, I couldn’t let a box of ARCs just sit there…. I was wracking my brains for a good contest question for a Purple Plumeria…

First of all, huge thanks to everyone who helped me out with questions for Parts I and II of The Passion of the Purple Plumeria Readers’ Guide! I couldn’t have written it without you. Part II of the Readers’ Guide is a relatively straightforward Q&A. (I say “relatively” because it’s Miss Gwen asking the questions.)…
Read MoreAn Ask Miss Gwen Addendum
Since I get to interrogate Miss Gwen, Miss Gwen has insisted that it’s only fair that she be afforded the opportunity to ask a few questions of me– such as how on earth I presumed to be so forward as to write her story without her permission. If Miss Gwen could get hold of her…
Read MoreAsk Miss Gwen
It’s time for me to be preparing the extra bits that go into the back of The Passion of the Purple Plumeria. I suspect that you’re probably all just as bored with Q&A’s with me as I am. So, instead of asking you for questions for me, I’ve decided it’s time to interview Miss Gwen.…
Read MoreBook Release Schedule
After several years of placidly expecting a book out once a year circa January or February, my book schedule has been shaken up in a big way this year. Since I seem to be having trouble keeping track of what’s coming out when, here’s the schedule for the next year: — December 31, 2012: The…
Read MoreApologies!
I’ve been working around the clock on revisions for The Passion of the Purple Plumeria, aka Pink X, which is why there was no Teaser Tuesday yesterday. In case you haven’t seen it yet, you can find an excerpt from The Passion of the Purple Plumeria here. Can we pretend that counts as a belated…
