Kindle & Nook!

Anyone who says self-pub is easy is clearly more technologically adept than I am. Having just spent most of yesterday afternoon wrestling with Amazon and B&N’s self-publication systems, I have both good news and bad news.

Teaser Tuesday: Sally

Yesterday’s walk down Mistletoe memory lane got me thinking about another Fitzhugh who needs a story. That’s right: Turnip’s little sister Sally.

Weekly Reading Round-Up

I have to confess, between Turnip’s love scene (sixteen pages and still going… because Turnip just won’t stop talking), Q&A for the expanded e-book version of that Austen anthology, and some other random bits and pieces, there’s been a lot of writing going on here but not a lot of reading.

A Blast from the Past

On this sweltering hot day (as I sit down to write Turnip’s hot love scene), here’s a little blast from the past for your amusement. Between February of 2006 and January of 2010, I blogged for a group blog called All-a-Blog. All-a-Blog has gone the way of the dodo, but my wonderful webmistress has made…
