Halloween Fun for all you Zombieheads!

by Julia London

It’s so hard to choose which friends to take to a zombie party when I can only take two.  I finally had to go with whose heads best fit the zombie bodies (this is a long-winded way of saying Sherri’s head wouldn’t sit on the zombie right, which is just bizarre, because if anyone has [...]

Mail Bag: Titles

One of the Frequently Asked Questions we get is “Do you come up with your own titles?” It’s right up there with questions about covers and writing cover copy (good questions for another time).

For instance, did you know that at this time of year, she likes to put on her old Dallas cheerleader costume and join the cheerleaders on the field? Security usually escorts her out, but sometimes, she gets in a few high [...]

Happy Days!

by Jacquie D'Alessandro

Okay gals, here’s my first ever attempt at adding a blog to the internet, so fingers crossed it goes okay (if you hear an explosion somewhere, RUN!) Since no one needs bad news and because I’m so happy to be here Whining, I thought I’d blog about a recent happy day–my niece’s wedding.  My DH [...]

by Julia London

I would like to take this opportunity to remind my fellow Whiners that A Courtesan’s Scandal comes out next Tuesday (the 20th).  I will be out of town hiking up some mountain and won’t be here to beg you to rush out and buy the book, so I am going to do it now.  PLEEEEEEEEEEASE [...]

It’s that time again. Cool mornings, warm(ish) afternoons, nippy evenings, and overnight frost warnings. Leaves turning. Apples falling. Pumpkins everywhere. Halloween displays and candy all over the grocery store. Autumn in New England! I love it. It’s one of my favorite times of year. But it leads to… da duun daaaaa (cue sinister music) winter: [...]
