My I Don't Know Where Else to Put it Box

A skewed sense of humor has kept me sane through 10+ years of teaching and almost as many writing. I invite you to come in and look around. Leave a comment if you like. My goal is to leave you with a smile on your face and a few new thoughts to mull over.

If you like this page, please tell your friends. If not, tell your enemies.

Character Assassination

Dumbledore is gay and I'm annoyed as hell.

I have to admit I haven't read one page of one Harry Potter book. I've bought 'em all and my kids love them. I've seen some of the movies and even bought the damn DVDs. One year we went to a Harry Potter party with my kids dressed as Hermoine and Harry--complete with capes wand and a pair of busted glasses. Even Mama went in costume though I'd be hard pressed to tell you exactly what I was.


I tell you this so you know I don't mind Pottermania,

The Me Nobody Knows

Since I never seem to get tagged for those Tell eight things about yourself you'd kill if somebody else told on you things that float around the blogosphere, I thought I'd tell on myself. Here are eight things I really hate about the way some folks use the English (and sometimes other) language.

1. Less is qualitative; more is quantitative. You cannot have less calories, but you have fewer. Fewer do you hear me. Every time I hear someone say less when they should say fewer it causes me… Continue

To All the Books I've Loved Before

Over at Murderati a few days ago, Robert Gregory Brown posted about comparing the experience of reading a book with being with a lover. Now you know the romance writer in me was ready to get on board with that analogy. Most of any good romance is foreplay--will they or won't they and if they will how will they?

Brown compares the first act of the book with seduction, the second act with foreplay and the la… Continue

Maybe it's just me, but. . .

Okay, it's been a little while since I had to do an agent search and even longer than that since I was a new author with no clue just a SASE to include with my manuscript, but . . . it never occurred to me that writer's getting a rejection would receive a letter back without their name on it. Huh? you say. I know, I don't think that made sense exactly, so I'll be specific.

The other day, an aspiring writer friend of mine got back her first two rejections from agents--one was via e-mail… Continue

I keep hot, buttery-sweet cinnamon rolls on the cyber-table at all times—go ahead, grab two.

Book Signing Today at Frontier Days Marketplace

If any of you are near Arlington Heights, please stop by and say hi. I'll be autographing Two Wrongs and Girl of My Dreams Saturday and Sunday from 10-6 at Recreation Park in the Frontier Days Marketplace in Booth 124 at Frontier Days.
I'm also handing out invitations for my book launch party for Killer Career for
August 16, 1-4pm. at the Arlington Heights Historical Museum, 110 W. Fremont,
Arlington Heights, IL. (You don't need an official invitation to come. It's
just good for a reminder to stick on your refrigerator or somewhere)

Other signing at the booth are romantic suspense author, Margot Justes, YA author, June Sproat and contemporary Western romance author, Debra St. John.

As most of you already know, Two Wrongs is a romantic suspense, Girl of My Dreams is a romantic comedy and the upcoming release, Killer Career is a romantic suspense.

Hope to see some of you over there.

Let the Fun Begin!

Fortunately, we were set free from work today at 3:00. Now I can catch up on a few things before heading over to the Festival tonight to see a rock band called ARRA at the Frontier Stage.

We have some DVDs at home from the library. We may just be able to watch one or two before we go, since the band doesn't start until 9:15. Or, we may want to get pver there a bit early and eat desert, though we shouldn't.

Last night I had a hamburger at home, but at the Festival I could't resist a DQ Reese Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard. They've got pies, cheese cake, ice cream, brownies, and Blizzards. I wish I could eat them all,but I'm being bad enough! I have no willpower when it comes to good food.

What about you? Do you cave in and eat special treats at special events?

Catching My Breath

See why I'm catching my breath at http://acmeauthorslink.blogspot.com
Thanks,
Morgan

How Do You Sell Books?


How do you sell books? I know I've asked this question before in various forms, but now that I'm coming up to the date of Killer Career's release on August 15, I'm wondering what's the most effective approach.

Tell me, please. What do you do to sell books?

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.

When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.
