Comments Off on Winner of Bags and Books and Other Stuff
I asked the Random Integer generator, and it said it didn’t want to give me a number, but after yelling at it (and rebooting the router, ooops) I have a winner of the Kristan Higgins bag worth coveting contest! Caitlin, who smells like a roadhouse (or used to until she put a bottle opener in her car) is the winner – Caitlin, email me at sarahATsmartbitchestrashybooksDOTcom with your address, please! Also, I want to road … Continue reading Winner of Bags and Books and Other Stuff→

I wouldn’t pass it along if it weren’t worth looking at – so have some linkage! First, Susanna Fraser has the single greatest author website known to man. Or woman. Or both and everything in between. Second, my Sizzling Summer Book Club pick, Kristan Higgins’ All I Ever Wanted is on the USA Today list at #102. Check out the listing though – it’s got that sexy (E) next to it—which means it made the … Continue reading Assorted Brief Links of Awesome→
Next Friday, 20 August, we’ll be hosting the latest Sizzing Summer Book Club Chat where we’ll be talking about All I Ever Wanted, by Kristan Higgins.

It’ll be at 9:00 pm EDT on Friday, so bring your favorite beverage, and come join the conversation! Kristan will be stopping by at 10pm EDT to … Continue reading Sizzling Summer Book Club: Next Friday Night!→
This year at RWA Nationals I did something a little different. I scheduled lunches and meetings with only one or two people, because one thing I find exhausting about RWA is that I have 1/10th of a conversation with about 300 people for five days, and at the end my brain hurts and I can’t remember anything. So while I didn’t run around and do the interview equivalent of high-fiving 500+ people, I did have … Continue reading RWA: The Big Wrap Up→

Yay! From Kristan Higgins: Happy Ever After cliches from movies. My hair is curly and wild when I’m in love!

Kristan Higgins, Toni Andrews and I were scheduled to appear on a panel all about romance writing and reading next weekend at the Fairfield Public Library in Fairfield, CT. The panel was set for 14 November but it’s been postponed until February 2010. I’m bummed, though I totally understand how scheduling craziness works. I will have to wait to unleash my quiet squeeing at poor Kristan, but when I have the updated dates, I’ll let … Continue reading Fairfield CT Library Romance Panel Postponed→
I recently reviewed Caught Running by Madeleine Urban and Abigail Roux based on a simple, “I loved this book,” from a fellow reader. I passed that recommendation on, and received another recommendation back, Matthew Haldeman-Time’s self-published book Off the Record. Jane and I frequently trade “OMG SQUEE” email messages about books we like. Because of her happy recommendation, I’m now reading Kristan Higgins’ Just One of the Guys, and I am loving it. It’s another … Continue reading Pimp Your Fave→
