Well, I just tallied up the friends that snippy author has on her Facebooks. I'm no math genius, but even I can see she's way ahead of me.How is it that the most popular person in Himmarshee, Fla., only has 47 Internote friends? I think that smart-aleck Deborah Sharp has...

doahsdeer's Xanga
I always look forward to Friday, seeing as how I change mine on a Tuesday/Friday schedule. How about you?...
One of the reasons that I love blogging on xanga is because xanga really is a community. In some bizarre virtual way, we come to know one another. And our name is part of that knowing. Although there are exceptions, when people on xanga change their name, I feel like I lose...
So I'm thinking about changing my xanga name. I've been blogging here since 2004. I like blogging on xanga and I like the name doahsdeer. It's served me well. Inside the xanga community, it's a perfectly fine name. But when I talk to people outside of xanga, to people in...

How many more days until Spring??

Last Tuesday, February 2nd, was one of the most amazing moments of my life.City of Dragons launched, released into bookstores and libraries and readers' hands ... despite the fact that at the time, it was blacklisted from Amazon, along with all other Macmillan titles.But it didn't matter.All the hopes, all...

I know San Francisco is supposed to be perennially shrouded in fog--and we do get quite a bit of the atmospheric pea soup variety--but sometimes it's just plain mild and sunny, even in December. Those are the days when you remember you're in California. :)During the holidays, there's an ice...

The Eyes Don't Always Have It . . .
Sometimes all I want to do is say "Look at that!" Looking out the window Wednesday morning, I saw something way up in a big poplar tree overlooking the birdfeeder. I couldn't quite tell what it was but decided it must be Spotsford O. Possum and took a picture....
There's a bit of a battle raging concerning electronic books -- or electronic "books," depending on where you stand. Lots of folks deplore the very idea of any thing other than a physical printed-on-paper book. Others have joyously adopted the new technology. It doesn't, of course, have to be...

Recently on an author e-mail loop someone raised the question about the spiritual message in Christian fiction.

A Novel Idea
Please address my package to "The Duchess"
Yet another reason why it would be completely aweseome to live in the UK: lots of "Title" options when you're shopping online: I think I would like to be The Countess Anna Claire of Volleria, or maybe the Marchioness of Lovliness. JB would probably pick something like Wing Commander J.B. Awesome. What...
