		<title>Mischief Managed!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[*carves sixth hashmark on the wall*
I am so happy to report, the manuscript of Three Nights with a Scoundrel is all turned in to my editor.  There will be revisions and edits and page proofs to come, but I can say now that I have authored six books.  Hooray!  I am so [...]]]></description>

		<title>March, 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whew! I have met all my deadlines (for the moment, ha), and just in time to enjoy the beautiful California spring.  (My sympathies to those of you still shoveling snow in the East.) It&#8217;s a busy family month for us, with weddings and birthdays and other fun.  And I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s just [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reading Aloud for Fun and Profit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t blog about the craft of writing all that often anymore.  There are a few reasons for that.  The first is that most days, actually practicing the craft of writing is just about all I can manage.  Barely.

		<title>Best Friend&#8217;s Little Sis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve read Goddess of the Hunt, you already know that I find this an irresistible romantic trope:  the poor guy who falls under the spell of his best friend&#8217;s little sister, all grown up.  For years, she&#8217;s been nothing but a sister to him, or a friend&#8211;perhaps even an annoyance.  And [...]]]></description>

Of course, the past week has seen horrific news on the global scale, and my thoughts and heart are with the people of Haiti as they continue to suffer the aftereffects of the catastrophic earthquake. But in times like these, it is some comfort to find small reasons [...]]]></description>

Pacific Northwest with my dear friends and critique partners, Courtney Milan and Carey Baldwin.   We&#8217;re celebrating the release of Courtney&#8217;s amazing book (see previous post) and eating great food and enjoying wonderful conversation.  Today we&#8217;re [...]]]></description>
