RITA ® Award-Winning Author of Fantasy Romance
//I’m going on book tour! Lots of burbling about that and this Cinderella ticket. Also a deep dive into how we decided on book titles (Spoiler: don’t get attached!) and fun insights into yesterday’s editorial meeting.
//Why I think this minor celebrity cis het white guy getting a Romantasy book deal is actually a good thing – certainly not a new thing. Also successful furniture shopping and a good long weekend for me!
//I’m taking signups for my ARC team if you’re interested. Also some analyses on books I’ve been reading and some advice for the newbie-r writers out there on not trying to do too much. Also, keeping secrets too long.
//On professional jealousy (yes, it’s real), that one guy who *has* to say something, and print runs in traditional publishing. What we do and don’t know, the effect of print on demand, and other forms of black magic, smoke & mirrors.
//The RELUCTANT WIZARD audiobook is available wide! Preorder NEVER THE ROSES at B&N for 35% off today only! Also, my editorial meeting, participation in VOW for Girls, and the unbearable loudness of casita-building.
//All about my Marketing & Publicity meeting with Tor/Bramble, my upcoming editorial meeting and how creative angst is just a fact of life and never goes away. Also, two more books/series out on submission and can I finish STRANGE FAMILIAR in time???
//Updates on NEVER THE ROSES and the challenges of making bonus content. Also, reflections on housework, the contempt for expertise in the home, and being taught and *learning* the best way to do something.
//I’m burbling away today all the great stuff going on with NEVER THE ROSES – including the *super cool* Owl Crate edition plans, updates on the upcoming cover reveal, UK release, audiobook (dual narration!) and why working with traditional publishing can be so great.
//Several pieces of good news here, including that the Jennifer K. Lambert website is now live! Also, a discussion of being aware of changing social media expectations and why you don’t diss other authors’ books. Like, ever.
//On celebrating and taking a break, and I’m sharing some great new endorsement quotes for NEVER THE ROSES! Also, internalized misogyny, Taylor Swift & Blake Lively, and why I’m shifting away from search engines and back to bookmarking websites like it’s 2004.
And yes, I realize I said “Age of Adaline” when I meant “It Ends with Us.” I watched both. I got confused. *sigh*
