K&C’s Booklist

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

Carole just emailed to let me know about her new reader site: K&C’s Booklist. It looks like a great place to share recommendations about books and discuss the ones you might be reading. There’s even a forum section (something I’ve been meaning to add to this site for a while) for book discussion.

Casting Call for NIGHT JASMINE

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

Poor Night Jasmine the Paperback! It keeps getting neglected in the build-up to the release of The Betrayal of the Blood Lily.

More Casting Fun

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

My family has a holiday tradition of giving each other movies– almost always BBC comedies or costume dramas– and then watching them all in great, multi-hour marathons. One of this year’s BBC haul was Lark Rise to Candleford, from which my little sister chose this actress to play Letty from Deception of the Emerald [...]

Holiday Reads

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

Hi, all!
I was just beginning to pack for the holidays and realized I’d run through most of my traditional seasonally themed reads already.
I tend to read them in subcategories. I have British chick lit Christmas books (Kate Saunder’s “The Marrying Game”, Liz Young’s “Fair Game”, Harriet Evans’ “Going Home”), mysteries [...]

The Crimson Rose Playlist

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

I’ll be posting the Night Jasmine playlist in January, just in time for the release of the paperback. In the meantime, though, we have a very different set of songs for Mary and Vaughn:

More fun with casting…

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

… from Miss Eliza! What do you think of her choice for Henrietta? (Who, by the way, once again absolutely swept the character popularity contest, beating out Amy, Letty, Mary, and all the guys.)

For more fun with casting, you can also check out other peoples’ picks on Storycasting.
