WTF, Dropbox? NO.

Bree and I need to share files with each other.  It’s a simple, blatant fact–we write together, how can we not?  We’ve long searched for a service that would allow us to do so conveniently, and with a minimum of fuss.  We thought we’d found that with Dropbox, especially after... Read more

Last night, a reader who’d been searching for something at Amazon emailed us. She’d been looking for more Last Call books after having read the first two (kind of– getting to that in a minute). When she found them in the Kindle store, she realized they had a different name attached... Read more

If I’d Had a Mentor…

…this is what she would have told me. A few weeks ago, Bree and I were talking on the phone about things we really wish someone had told us back when we undertook this venture, this writing for publication thing.  And I joked and said, “The kinds of things your mentor would have told you,... Read more

Today is the very, very exciting day, folks–the day Crux is officially released in paperback! It seems like so long ago that Bree and I sat down and said, “Okay, we can do this. We can write a book.” It wasn’t easy, starting that first book, and it was even harder getting it... Read more

The Bodyguard was on last night. I half-watched it as I worked, and wow. Just…wow. There were some things I didn’t remember from watching it in the theater as a sixteen year old. 1) The movie? Is bad. Baaaaaaad. 2) Whitney can’t act her way out of a paper bag. 3) I’m not... Read more

People who follow me and Bree on Twitter have probably figured out that we spend most of our time there regaling awesome authors and fellow geeks like Ann Aguirre with fun tales from our gaming days. Yes, gaming days. Like Dungeons & Dragons and stuff–you sit around a table with a sheet of... Read more

The other half of the “best couples EVAR” equation.

Yesterday, Bree blogged about the couples that shaped her young little heart into the fangirly mass it is today. And it is a fangirly mass, make no mistake, as is mine. One of the things I noticed when reading her list is that you can put them both together, and every romance we’ve ever written–or... Read more

Y’all will never see HALF of what we write.

One of the things Bree and I often say is that we’re dying to try our hand at writing historicals. We also say we’ll never do it. Both statements are totally true. The problem is one of research. I love worldbuilding and research, but I’ve never seen anything like the kind of research... Read more

I’m a bad blogger.

I’m a bad blogger. Bree knows this, and usually lets me get away with it, probably because she understands my issues. Here’s the thing: I have a really, really hard time believing that anybody gives a crap what I think about this writing gig. Not that I undervalue my opinion or experience... Read more

We’re Not Professionals: A Rant

The facts upfront: Bree and I are epublished. We’ve been so for about a year now. We’ve never queried an agent or a NY editor. We plan to, we just haven’t yet. The Point: Diane Pershing has pissed me off again. Caveat: This isn’t a “RAH RAH EPUBLISHING” rant. Once... Read more
