I am not a Brainiac. I do not even know what Brainiacs are or do (I just saw the term used on a website once by single trying to become couples) but I’m so aware of my brain right now. It’s alive and breathing. Not a gentle humming sort of breathing, but breathing in great […]

Ahem
It has been brought to my attention–thus the ahem–that I haven’t updated my JaneBlog in quite a few days. Concern was expressed. A new blog was requested. I am fulfilling request although, ahem, I’ve nothing to say that’s funny. There is painfully ironic. There is ridiculously depressing. There is poignantly touching. And I don’t know […]
Title Me & Freebie Thingies
I need help–which I will reward with a special treat–and I need to give away a trip for two to Hawaii, so that’s what I’m doing here. Asking for suggestions, and then reminding you to enter my Hawaii sweepstakes on my website. First up, my September 2007 release from 5 Spot is being retitled from […]
Crap Artists
First of all, you’ll want to read this most excellent scathing essay (follow link below) http://www.weeklydig.com/arts/articles/chick_lit_is_ and then report back here for my simplistic response. And in the event you don’t want to read a very negative piece on chick lit, and how it’s destroying what is left of America, well, bear with me while […]
Hollywood, Gollywood
I wasn’t going to say anything because a lot of times nothing pans out, but I thought, what the hell, nothing may ever pan out but having Hollywood call is always cool, so I’m telling. A little. Someone in La-La Land (L.A.) is interested in Flirting with Forty. It could go to their motion picture […]
Over At Blogger…
I’m keeping some of my 5 Spot authors company with the new The5Spot blog. And what the heck is 5 Spot? It’s an imprint. Um, an emblem on the spine of my Flirting with Book. A…thing. But I just added a post there, my second blog with them ever. I like that place because I […]
Thank You for Readers
I’ve got to thank my readers. They’ve been amazing. They’re making Flirting with Forty very successful, creating a buzz I could only dream about. Until now. While the Amazon and B&N.com sales have slowed somewhat, Flirting is still showing strong on Bookscan, which is probably why the book has now gone back for a 6th […]
Laying It All Out There
I just finished giving my first talk here at the Romance Writers of Australia’s conference on the Gold Coast and I had lots of lovely people tell me afterwards I did a great job, and how much they appreciate me sharing so much of my own life, and maybe it’s not what I should do, […]
The Logic of Illogic
It took Ester Levine my media escort in Atlanta to make me see the light. I am not going to have any control in this book industry. And not only will I not ever have any control, I can not make any predictions although it’s entirely within my right to set some goals. Personal goals. […]
Not Daring to Sleep
When I was growing up, and even in college, I couldn’t bear to fall asleep on Christmas Eve or Christmas Night. I’d stretch out on the living room floor near the fireplace and watch the fire burn low, and with all the overhead lights off, look at the Christmas tree standing in the corner. Without […]
