By Grapthar’s Hammer: What a Bargain
Soooooo, folks. My book is on sale cheap-o cheap-o for just the rest of this week on Kindle! Just 99-cents. And for less than the cost of a cup of coffee (or a 72-ounce Diet Coke), you can hold a sumo wrestler in the palm of your hands. Think of it. Here’s the link: http://www.amazon.com/Big-in-Japan-ebook/dp/B008PH7U6C/ref=tmm_kin_title_0 […]
Autumn Scary Romance Throwback Before Christmas
I am getting ridiculously excited for Christmas. It’s carols and twinkle lights and homemade fudge all the time here at Griffith Magna. But there’s no snow. Well, duh. This is Arizona. We are still running the AC most days at least for a while. And definitely in the car. And the color on my backyard nectarine […]
Upcoming Stufffffff
“Life moves pretty fast.” Name that 80s movie. I’ve got a ton of stuff going on too, and it’s making life speed up. I like things slow. On Saturday I’ll be in Mesa, AZ, at the Latter Day Cottage signing books from 10-2 for the WUFC Fundraiser to help raise money for Serena Freewomyn to pay […]
Deseret News Reviews BIG IN JAPAN
The Deseret News, a Salt Lake City newspaper with a circulation of… a BUNCH, has reviewed BIG IN JAPAN. The review posted about 20 minutes ago. I’m all breathless. I’d heard there was a call for a review, and I knew the Deseret News’s policy of not letting anyone review a book if the reviewer […]
Tidings of Comfort and Joy from the Writers Conference
At the end of February I attended the annual ANWA Writers Conference in Mesa, a nice place to be in February. I think the agents from Denver and NYC were loving the weather, as was the editor from Utah. It was a balmy 68. Other good things happened there. One, I got to wear my *awesome* […]
Hulu and the 10-Second “Life” Rewind
True confession: We watch Hulu. That is how we waste our valuable time. In the last few weeks our version has added a feature with a little button, an arrow at the end of a curly tail. It’s a 10-second rewind. If you missed what the caption said in the Korean drama you’ve been glued […]
Guest Blogger: Auntie Lehua!
Get out a frosty drink and put on your flip flops, folks. I have a special Hawaiian treat for you today! My fellow JFP author Lehua Parker is here to guest blog about her new book One Boy No Water, the first installment in the Nihui Shark Saga. (Nihui shark means maneating shark, I do […]
Men Read???
As a prologue to this topic, I have to note that Saturday my 4 year old daughter came dashing into my room. “Mommy! What’s your female address?” She was trying to sign up for a Build-a-Bear account online and needed my female address. Er, email. In the past I’ve written these books with titles like […]
Larry, Daryl and Daryl
Do you remember the Bob Newhart Show? I don’t mean the one where he’s a psychologist in Chicago in the 1970s, but the one where he runs an inn in Vermont in the 1980s. He has those neighbors, “I’m Larry. This is my brother Daryl, and this is my other brother Daryl.” My dad loved […]
