Vicki Lewis Thompson won the Nora Roberts Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2008 RITAs. She also apparently turned luminaries like Indiana Jones from mild mannered anthropologist to whip wielding hottie. It’s true, I saw it on a video at the RITAs.

This is hilarious. These women are in it to win it. Oh and if anyone has the story about the Nora Roberts/Susan Elizabeth Phillips smackdown, I want to hear about it in the comments. Even if you have to make it up, I want to hear about it. Link here if the embedded video doesn’t(…)

In the true spirit of viral marketing, I received my first AuthorTalk link in my inbox from a friend. I’m not sure how she found it but I think it was from another person’s blog. And now I am doing my part in spreading the word. I think the entire point of book trailers was(…)
