Today there is a very amusing guest blog up at my Burn Bright YA site by Belinda Hamilton, entitled When Cool Loses its Cool. Meanwhile, over at the Marianne Delacourt site you can grab some Tara Sharp wallpaper or badges for your blog.

Here, things are quiet on the surface but underneath this calm exterior I’m plotting my next MDP adult project. What will it be? Though I’m still nursing a hankering for my cowpunk series, it will have to wait until someone loves the idea as much as me. Soooo… I’m thinking strip clubs, demons and a protagonist that can use her voice as a weapon.

I’ve welcomed three new reviewers over at my YA site, Burn Bright, and today is Belinda’s debut review of Kiss Me Deadly edited by Trisha Telep. Check it out. Once the BB site is revamped in September by Austin Designworks, we’ll be firing on all cylinders. There’ll be interviews and reviews galores, plus the odd profile of interesting persons. ATM you can catch a quickie interview with Kelley Armstrong, and read any previous interviews with legends like Garth Nix and Isobelle Carmody right here.

I’ll be doing a drive by interview at Angela Slatter’s blog as a lead up to World Con, and another interview over at Strange Candy Reviews. Interviews and reviews must be in the air because over at my young adult website Bec, Belinda, Jamie and Amy will be reviewing YA on a regular basis. Bec is still running the Big 4 interviews with upcoming interviews from Ann Aguirre and Kelley Armstrong and LM Fuge.

And while you’re adding books on Bookreads, add me as well:
