On... my internet diet

I've been going over my copyedits.

Copyediting is when a person with supposed eagle eyes goes over the manuscript and spots things like, oh, I don't know, someone getting a drink twice in a page, for example (my characters make that mistake a lot, the little boozehounds).

I'm not sure that the copyeditor really gets my writing, though. One character said 'ballache' and the comment said 'is this French?'

On... Eastbound and Down

Eastbound and Down is about an ex-baseball star called Kenny Powers forced to retire to small-town America. But God, that doesn't even begin to describe it. Think this might be the funniest show I've ever seen. Awesome, awesome, awesome.

My new SheerLuxe blog is up! (Warning: The Maje Dress features... again. What can I say, I heart it.)

On... a new dress

I think you should all know that I am in love.

On THE BEST OF EVERYTHING

I don't post about books that often, for many reasons. There are much better book reviewers than me in the blogiverse, I read purely for pleasure and it would feel like a job if I reviewed them, and um, I'm lazy.

THE WINNER...

... will remain a mystery until you read A Girl Like You. (BOOM!)
