Why I Heart My Kindle

September 11, 2011 by Jamie

My last Harlequin Blaze novel, Made You Look, is available as a Kindle ebook now. Actually, some of my other Harlequin novels too have been released again as ebooks. More links to come. Do you have a Kindle or any other ebook reader? I bought one this summer, reluctant to spend so much money on yet another electronic device, and it has quickly become one of my all-time favorite possessions. My reasons to love it are many: it’s sturdy and […]

Deciding What to Write

September 6, 2011 by Jamie

When you’ve made the momentous decision to write a novel, you may or may not know what kind of novel you want to write.

You may at this very moment feel yourself pulled in one direction or the other, based on the loftiness of your literary aspirations or the emptiness of your bank account. One thing is absolutely for sure […]

The War of Art

September 3, 2011 by Jamie

I’m re-reading Steven Pressfield’s The War of Art right now and finding lots of reasons to love it all over again. This book never fails to make me want to hurry to the keyboard and get to writing. If you have any kind of creative project you find yourself procrastinating on starting or finishing, I highly recommend the book. I moseyed on over to the author’s website today and read a great post of his on the choices we make. […]

Writing Lessons from a Dog

August 22, 2011 by Jamie

We adopted a dog from the pound on Easter Sunday this past spring, a long-awaited event in our family. His name at the shelter was Niner, which we couldn’t change fast enough. Wanting to stick with a similar sounding name because we had misguided notions about confusing him with a new one, we named him Reno. He’s a tall skinny pit bull mix with sad-sack eyes and a winning smile who probably has some kind of bird dog in his […]

Free Books

August 21, 2011 by Jamie

It’s been a long time since I’ve done a book giveaway. So here it is. Free books! Whichever books you want. The catch? You’ll have to go on Amazon.com and do a search for my name in the books section to figure out which books you want. I’ll send up to 5 books each to the first 3 people who email me. There’s also a list a few posts back of all my book titles, if you want to go […]
