WSJ Does Round Up of Blogger Reaction Includes Dear Author

The Wall Street Journal reported on the blogosphere reaction to the Kindle. Apparently my quotable words were “same fugly hot mess we’ve been seeing for months”.

I’ve been too busy to finish my article for Tuesday morning.

At the end of the story, Georgina loses all her good sense and intelligence, flies off the handle and makes some poor decisions. Much like me. (I liked the book despite that). When I was writing last Sunday’s article about the(…)

Book Chronicle, a ezine or blog dedicated to book nerds, has announced its first annual lit blogging awards called the Litty. Dear Author is one of the finalists. How we got on the list or what award we’ll win, if any, remains to be seen. However, any award that rhymes with Man Titty should be(…)

Dear Author Announces Romance Novel Central Forum

So, after some thought and rooting around in the backend of BlueHost, I found a thing called Simple Machines Forum which is a great open source software program for forums. I installed it and added a couple of packages to extend functionality, and waa laa – we now have a forum for readers. It is(…)
