News Roundup

Every once in a while, I come across something so hilarious I have to share it, like Meljean Brook's five-part Diary of an Author. Here, Brook (or M.B., as she styles herself in these entries) fictionally delves into increasingly obsessive author behavior, including creating fake e-mails in order to leave fake reviews, Internet arguments with reviewers, and other etiquette no-nos. I laughed so hard I cried.

Part 3 of "No Good Deed" came out in the newsletter today. No idea yet how many parts there will be in all.

Before I post the cover of Light's Bane here, it's going on a whirlwind tour of blogs, websites, and Facebook pages, around thirty in all. When cover designer L.J. Anderson (Mayhem Cover Creations) sent me the list, I was amazed, since I'd sincerely been under the impression that the cover would be revealed in one or perhaps two places. 

That L.J. She's a keeper. 

When the date rolls around for the big reveal (still on or around 29 April, far as I know), I'll try to post a list of participating blogs. Plus, I'll have an official reveal here and through the newsletter.
