A snippet from one of my favorite scenes from A Hint of Frost is being featured on Romance Readers at Heart today. While I know the impact isn’t the same if you haven’t read up to that point…*happy sigh* I just love it.
Here‘s the link if you’d like to swing by and check it out for yourself.
I totally forgot to sign up for Six Sunday this week. As far as updates go, the second Araneae novel is with my crit partners and I’m working on revisions for my August release, Wicked Kin. Since it’s on my mind, I’ll be sharing a snippet from that novel. 
A warped metal arm extended from the wall and sagged beneath the weight of a battered television. A pay-per-view skin flick he’d already seen playing in dozens of seedy hotel rooms like this one flickered across the screen.
He crossed the room and glanced at the nightstand.
Pictures lay spread out like glossy fans across the chipped laminate surface. He looked away for all the good it would do him. Soon he would know the contents of those photographs as well as the man responsible for taking them.

So I noticed something today that tickled me. Check it out.
On Amazon France, I have sequential rankings. How cool is that?

It’s possible I get a little screencap happy. I mean, how else can I remember the big moments?
I can’t swear this is the root of it, but being a mom…yeah…I think it primed me for this. I have the majority of my daughter’s first two years of life on film and in photos. I don’t think I even put her down during her first six months of life except to take more pictures of her. (What? She’s my first and only baby. I had to enjoy her tiny tot phases while I could.)
Books are often compared to babies, and their stumbling steps into the world upon publications are nerve-wracking. So I guess, to me, screencapping is scrapbooking for each novel during its infancy. Plus, it helps on those downer days to pull out things that make you happy. I recommend that for any author–seriously. Whether it’s reader mail or good reviews, have something you can read that lifts your spirits and tells you You know what? You’re doing all right. [Read more…]
Hailey writes about questionable applications of otherwise perfectly good magic, the transformative power of love, the family you choose for yourself, and blowing stuff up. Not necessarily all at once. That could get messy.
