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

Have a great day and a successful year,
Lynda

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

Things People Say and Do at Book Signings

Saturday was a Killer Career book signing at Barnes and Noble in Schaumburg. I just love the way they do their posters, by the way. Very professional looking.

It was 70 degrees outside, which is an unusual temperature for November. Needless to say, not everyone wanted to waste such a beautiful day by pending it inside a book shop.

The usual assortment of customers did come by, some asking me questions about how long it took to write my book, how I got started, and how many books I'd written.
Some said they'd never heard of me. I've heard that one before. (g)

What was surprising is that three children, not at the same time or with the same party, asked for my autograph - two on the back of bookmarks, one on a slip of paper. That usually doesn't happen. Maybe it's the economy. I don't know if their parents put them up to it, or if they thought of it themselves.

One person asked about my book and then said she doesn't buy from Barnes and Noble, but online instead. Since she was in the store, I can only assume she was scouting there for books first. I don't know.

Oh, yes, a variation on the restroom question was, "Where are the dictionaries?"

Another took the time to show me some missing pages in one of the magazines.

What about you? What questions have people asked you at book signings? Anything that stood out at a book signing you'd like to share?
