Wow. Lionsgate bought Summit and is planning to extend the Twilight movies beyond the books. I doubt they’ll get RPattz and KStew back, though.

It seems that I pour all of my writing energy into books now. And instead of social networking, I’m socializing. I miss blogging, though. I used to love it. I can’t believe that the whole Dating Amy project will be ten in 2012. Do you know some of those guys I dated still call? Mind-blowing. [...]

Amanda Hocking, the 26-year-old Minnesota woman who published her YA paranormal romances to Kindle when she couldn’t get a traditional publishing deal and sold over a million copies on Kindle, got a $2 million four-book deal with St. Martin’s today–ironically the publisher that Eisler walked away from a $500,000 deal with a few weeks ago.

No one knows what’s going on, including The People in New York–the publishing houses, editors, agents–and they’re the people we rely on to guide us. No one knows what the publishing landscape is going to look like [...]

Just wanted to write a quick update before I hide my wireless router from myself for the day so I can get some book writing done. I’m starting to feel more embarrassed than usual when people ask me how the book is going, because I keep falling in love with and then completely dropping manuscripts. [...]

There’s this actor I’m obsessed with, Shiloh Fernandez. He looks and acts like Joaquin Phoenix and I mean that in the best possible way. He was in this really inappropriate, really great indie film called Deadgirl a few years ago. He was also the dreamy boy-next-door in another indie film, Skateland, where he was the [...]

Fans of The Twilight Saga will be enthralled by this riveting story of Bree Tanner, a character first introduced in Eclipse, and the newborn vampire world she inhabits. In another irresistible [...]
