- To my great relief, it was still here. Nestled among trees, on the corner of 10th Street in Greenwich Village. Still filled with burnished lamps, and a panoply of books that chattered to themselves. I'd been here many times, but this time it was in the middle of an exhausting tour, where it's easy to forget that most books involve an invisible meeting between a writer and a reader. Three Lives is ...

- I've got my first bookstore reading lined up for The Pool of Shikama: July 15th at the University of Washington Bookstore. The UW Bookstore has always been a stalwart supporter of local Pacific Northwest authors - I've done readings there for my first two books as well.

- In the town of Ruesselsheim, near Mainz, I've discovered the best bookshop in Germany.

Hans-Juergen Jansen has built his store into a cultural center for the surrounding ...

Books-a-Million in Clarksville, TN (near Fort Campbell, KY) sent me an email to let me know they've added Homefront to their shelves and would like to arrange a reading for sometime in May. So what if it took since 2007 for me to get it on the shelves? As a one-woman operation, I'd say it's not so bad to publish my own book and get it into two brick-and-mortars ...

- How pleasant it is to be appreciated for your work! Last night I gave an introductory talk on my book, Sword in the Boardroom. Aside from having sold a lot of units, I was pleasantly surprised when folks were actually buying multiple copies along with my various other titles.It appears to me that the reading public is not as dead as many authors like to think. Though there are tons of buyers who ...
