Fun stuff and fabulous news!
Does Felicia look like Raine, or what? ; )
Actress Felicia Day (who is a big fan of my books -- how cool is that?) stars with Neil Patrick Harris of How I Met Your Mother, and Nathan Fillion of Desperate Housewives in Joss Whedon's new online megahit project: Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. The first two episodes are up now, and they are hilarious! The third posts today. Watch, enjoy, and pass on the link to your friends and Blog buddies.
Felicia will also be in an episode of House in September. Here's a promo clip for Season 5 (Felicia is a patient, and Hugh Laurie has a meat cleaver. Priceless.)
Now for my cool news: My query letter for Magic Lost, Trouble Found will be featured in the book The Writer's Digest Guide to Queries which will be on bookstore shelves in December! I'm thrilled and honored to be included. As all of you who are writers know, Writer's Digest Books is the place to go for books on virtually any and all writing-related topics. I've accumulated a ton of their books over the years.
And while I was agonizing over my query letter way back when, if someone would have told me that not only would that letter lead to me getting a top agent, and signing with a top publisher, but that the folks at Writer's Digest would want to feature it in a book -- I'd have told them that they were stark-raving loony. It just goes to show that in the writing business, you never know what's gonna happen next. ; )
Have a great weekend!

Coming up next week: I'll continue my series on "Things I didn't know until I got published " with Amazon rankings, advertising and book promo that you have to do for yourself, and more.

Awesomeness!!
Hey Ilona!!
I thought the letter in the book thing was pretty cool, too. ; )
Congratulations, Lisa!
That's exciting! Your query must rock.
That's wicked news!
Random question: do you write when you're ill?
(I've got a cold brewing, and actually found that instead of being put off writing, its keeping me from dwelling on how heavy my head feels)
Thank you, Tia & Jen!
Hi Yunaleska! That all depends on how sick I am. If I feel a cold coming on, I'll keep working as long as I can, but sometimes all I want to do is sleep. When that happens, I'm usually at the point where I don't feel like doing anything (even read). That's the point when I stop and take care of myself. Sleep = good. ; )
Feel better soon! (And know when to quit and put yourself too bed.) Hot tea works wonders. :)
Heehee - thanks. Yeah...when I know all I'm up for is dvds and not reading, thats when I stop! Its not a cold, just a general lurgy.
