I have now uploaded an except from Twice Dead. If you would like to read the first chapter, check it out HERE. Enjoy!
I'll upload the second chapter closer to the release date, so check back often. And remember, Twice Dead will be available in print and electronically February 2010!
I just finished reading Once Bitten. It was great. I'm kind of addicted to the characters now. I loved the excerpt for Twice Dead and can't wait to read that one when it comes out.

Some of you likely recall my post "where did the author go?" from several years ago. This post is basically a follow up to that, as well as a look toward the horizon. This weekend, I made my first public appearance since about 2012. I was nervous for many reasons, not the least of which was my long hiatus. Thankfully, it went really well. ConCarolinas, while not the biggest convention, has always been a favorite because of all the great friends who attend it. Thank you everyone who stopped by the table to say hi, who attended panels, and who chatted at the bar and/or breakfast. All of you made this a wonderful first con back, and I am encouraged to expand my schedule further in the future! But where have I been?

So, let me try a little non-fiction here: I ran into some health troubl...
When you close your eyes and try to picture the quintessential author, what/who do you see? I mean, when prompted with 'football player' you probably think of a big, muscular guy. 'Basketball player' probably summons images of someone tall. How about librarian? Do you suddenly picture a woman in glasses maybe? Okay, so these are stereotypes, but at the same time they are stereotypes because they are common. So what is the stereotype of an author? What is the first image that pops in your mind?

A series of recent responses to my appearance prompts this particular observation. In particular, a recent interaction with a bookstore employee really left me wondering. The encounter went down something like this: Me (approaching the information counter): Hi, my name is Kala...
