Today I got to see the cover for The Rise of Renegade X advanced copies. It’s pretty damn sweet. I mean, every time I see the cover, I’m in love all over again, but the ARC is going to have the full wrap around cover. Not only does the back look gorgeous and have a [...]

I made this countdown widget. I am not a graphics genius, but I am pleased nonetheless. ^__^
Also, I got to see what the ARC cover’s going to look like. It’s going to have the full wraparound cover–eek! Also lots of pretty boxes on the back talking about the book.

This is going to be a wraparound–I have seen the full art, with the buildings extending into the distance, and it’s breathtakingly awesome–but for now I present to you the front panel of my absolutely PERFECT book cover!
Seriously, this sucker rocks. It could beat Chuck Norris in a roundhouse kick fight, that’s how awesome [...]

Inspired by this quote from page 8 of Nova Ren Suma’s Dani Noir:
Rita Hayworth would toss her hair (red in real life, but in black-and-white it could be any color). Shed blink super slow, like she was underwater. Then shed turn, finally, and settle her eyes on Jessica. It would take a few seconds but [...]

Like the In My Mail Box features, only in a shopping bag. I took a 2 hour trek to the local B&N. My theory is if I get enough exercise walking there, then I’m allowed to buy books. (This makes perfect sense.) Today I went specifically in search of Nova Ren [...]

Speaking of random school memories, I remember once in 9th grade science class the teacher was telling us about how in olden days people thought the world was made of the four elements, air, water, earth, and fire. But nowadays we know that’s not true. (Implication that people in the past were a [...]
