After two and a half years of following reviews, I’ve developed a few ideas about today’s publishing scene and I thought I’d share them with you. This is going to be fantasy and science fiction-centric, because I haven’t been following the debuts of other genres long enough to come to any conclusions. I do think [...] The only thing I wanted for Christmas this year was an iPod touch. Why did I want an iPod touch?

Three books were published in the Bigtime series, including Karma Girl, Hot Mama and Jinx. Now she’s changing gears with an extremely gritty urban fantasy about an assassin named Gin. The first novel, Spider’s Bite (which is available next week), received favorable advance reviews and [...] Don’t forget — there will be a contest here tomorrow and a long-term FOB (Friend Of Blog) author whose urban fantasy is about to come out next week. Be sure to stop by, chat with her and enter her contest! Last year, I posited the idea of a book blogger convention, and a handful of intrepid bloggers have gone ahead and put one together. It’s a one day convention on May 28th in New York City. There are a limited number of seats, so hurry! Find all the info at bookbloggerconvention.com. I’m thinking this might be just [...] I now have a page where you can let me know about upcoming debuts. I’m always looking to add to my debut calendar, and the first step is to get the debut on my spreadsheet.
