This week, I started contacting local bookstores and libraries about doing some book signings for Karma Girl. When I get the dates and locations, I’ll post them here and on the Appearances page.
Stay tuned for more …
Brilliant! Just brilliant!
Watched the latest episode of My Name is Earl last night.
Best. Episode. Ever!
The whole episode featured the residents of Camden County on the show COPS, back when Earl was still married to Joy and a petty thief. But the best parts were all the in-jokes. Last night on Earl, we got to see just about every person he’s helped or hurt, from the one-legged girl to the one-eyed mailman to Nancy the hooker. Kenny was also on the show, along with the cop Earl helped turn into a professional bowler.
I love it when a series does all the wink-wink stuff for the fans. I try to do that in my Bigtime books — just throw out little references or turns of phrases from previous books. Â

My resolutions …
Since it’s almost New Year’s, I’d thought I’d share some of my resolutions. I won’t bore you with the 30 or so that I usually write (yes, Virginia, I really write that many), but here are my top five writing-related ones. 😉
1) Write two more Bigtime books — Jinx and either Black Widow or Nightingale.
2) Write two Spy Girl books (a new paranormal spy-spoof series I hope to sell).Â
3) Sell tons and tons and tons of copies of Karma Girl and Hot Mama.
4) Promote the heck out of my books and my brand. Do conferences, book signings, guest blogs, advertising, the whole shebang.
5) Quit worrying about book stuff so much. Some things (like sales) are pretty much out of my control, and I need to let go and breathe a little more. All I can do is write and hope people like what I produce.
I was pretty good about keeping my resolutions from last year, especially the writing-related ones. I got a wonderful new agent. Sold Karma Girl and Hot Mama. Put up my Web site. Starting getting my name out there. 2006 was a good year for me, and I hope 2007 is even better — for everyone.

Happy holidays and have a safe New Year’s!

Holiday recovery …
Well, Christmas is over with for another year. Thank goodness. I’m a little worn out from all the holiday spirit. And from having my house look like a disaster area.
So what was the best thing you got for Christmas? I’m torn between several items. But since this blog is ostensibly about writing, I’ll share my favorite writing-related thing — my new dry-erase/calendar/corkboard. Technically, this isn’t really a Christmas gift since I bought it for myself. But I love it just the same.
It’s three feet wide and almost as tall, and I bought it to help me keep track of all my writing and promotional deadlines. I’ve pretty much filled it up already with things I need to do. I’ve even color-coded my to-do list. Blue is for books, purple is for the calendar, green is for marketing stuff, black is for completed items.
Yes, I am really that anal. My significant other says that I make lists for lists. Maybe if I get another board …
So what did Santa bring you this year? Inquiring minds want to know …
