If you missed the great awesome news: RWA has a new chapter, the Rainbow Romance Writers, a GLBT Romance chapter. WOO HOO! How awesome is that? Mazel tov! I first heard the news from RWA President Diane Pershing at the Princeton romance conference, though she asked at the time that the announcement not be made until the final details had been filed – so I didn’t mention it then. There was, however, applause and squeeing … Continue reading Welcome to GLBT RWA Chapter, Rainbow Romance Writers→
David Nygren over at The Urban Elitist asked if I’d be willing to be interviewed, and I said, “Sure, why not?” Then he sent me questions and I had to think about things, like how our site grew to be the community that it is, and what we did to foster that community (huh?), and our decision to run ads, and why we do our own ad management. I’m very pleased with how the interview … Continue reading Interview with Sarah at Writer Unboxed→
If you received your issue of Romantic Times magazine, you may have noticed Smart Bitches were inside. We’re in ur magazine, talkin’ ‘bout Pirates! It’s true: Elissa Petruzzi did a marvelously fun interview with us, and we’re in the “RT Bookshelf” section of the April 2009 issue. We talk about sexuality, pirates, the economy, our book, our site, and pirates. I thought it turned out terribly well, and as usual Candy cracked my ass up. … Continue reading Smart Bitches in Romantic Times→
Sudbury Star reporter Angela Scappatura wrote a marvelous article about the advantages of reading romance in the face of criticism and derision, even from her own editor. I’m so flattered to have been interviewed, but more than that, I’m proud to be a part of romance-positive coverage in the media. Yay romance, and yay Angela! Nice job! My favorite part, and I’m egotistical enough to say so: Romance novels are certainly not considered “stylish” but … Continue reading Smart Bitches Love Sudbury, Ontario→
After reading two romances, one historical and one category, DocTurtle, it seems, has fallen and fallen hard… for you guys. He had such a great time reading and blog-reviewing Sex Straight Up and An Infamous Army that he asked for more romances to read and review for the awesomeness that is the Bitchery audience. As he wrote to me: I can’t tell you how much fun I’ve had reading these books and writing these reviews, … Continue reading Introducing Our Smart Bitch in Training: DocTurtle→
While I was wandering around at RWA National in San Francisco this year, I ended up helping set up one of the lunches and placing books on chairs for the free giveaway. After the many, many mini piles of books were distributed, I found myself chatting with The Super Secret Behind The Scenes Staff of RWA National. You might have recognized them by their really spiffy teal blue cardigans, or by the tired and somewhat … Continue reading Interview with Carol Ritter, RWA Professional Relations→
By the power of Greyskull, the Random Integer Generator hooked me up with some righteous digits. Behold, the winners in The Accidental Demon Slayer giveaway: 1: Kimberly D 17: jenifer 50: Dorilys 82: Christine J 106: KristenMary Congratulations to the winners! And thanks to Angie Fox and Dorchester (known as “The Dorch” in my house) for a spiffy interview and spiffy prizes!
Angie Fox won an Smart Bitch Interview in the Brenda Novak Diabetes auction, prompting me to freak the hell out because dude, I don’t know of a single question that would adequately measure up to the bid she made to fight diabetes and be interviewed by yours truly. So first and foremost, thanks to Angie for supporting a great cause, and giving me an inferiority complex that is barely contained by my undershorts. Onward to … Continue reading A Smart Bitch Interview with Angie Fox→
If you take a look at the Yahoo: Books and Publishing News Page, you’ll see a particular byline frequently: that of Hillel Italie, who is the AP National Writer who covers All Things Book. Some people stalk their favorite authors. Some people stalk Fabio. Me, I start wondering about the job responsibilities of AP book beat reporters. I was rather fascinated by the idea of a reporter whose responsibilities include publishing, books, bestsellers, news, gossip, … Continue reading Smart Bitch Interview: Hillel Italie, AP Reporter→

Comments Off on Interview with Sebastian Stuart
Whilst I total up the Texas Kitty votes, enjoy a brief interview with Sebastian Stuart. Who is Sebastian Stuart? He’s the author of a few books, most notably Charm!, as the ghostwriter behind Kendall Hart’s fast-track novel from All My Children. When Mr. Stuart left a comment here in the original entry about the book, I contacted him because, well, as usual, I’m a curious, nosy woman. Sebastian was kind enough to answer my questions … Continue reading Interview with Sebastian Stuart→
So back during the ferret discussion amid the plagiarism discussion, I got into an email discussion with Lori Armstrong , native South Dakotan, award-winning mystery author, and keeper of some good cover juju the likes of which I haven’t seen since PC Cast. Seriously, Armstrong’s covers? Creeptastic, and appropriate for her genre. They give me the jibblies like damn. I’m fascinated by authors who base much of their writing in their home states, especially when … Continue reading Interview with Author Lori Armstrong→
