Sharing panel duty with Marcia James and others not in the photo. It was fun.

A Friend Says:

Writing with, and working alongside, Scott Carpenter...well, it's a unique kind of pleasurable insanity. His mind is always turning over new ideas, nothing is off-limits and if laughter is involved, it's a given it'll find its way into the book.
I'm so honored to have shared stories with Scott - they've been ones I take great pride in, ones that make me laugh every time I re-read them, and ones full of great memories. He truly is my literary partner - and my best friend. Neither of which will ever change.

Got Something on your Mind?

I'd love to hear about it. If it's to do with my books, of course. You can keep your political opinions to yourself, thanks. Some people are surprised when I tell them that yes, I do answer emails and I really enjoy hearing what people think about my books. Maybe some authors don't have time or something, but I'm not one of those...I like to know there are people out there with thoughts on what they just read and I'll thank them if they tell me. Of course, I'll thank them even more politely if they say something nice.
I doubt you want a street address for my publisher, since not that many folks actually snail-mail fan letters any more. And don't bother with a ransom note. I don't earn enough to buy back whatever it is of mine you've kidnapped. Just point and click to the addy below...

Here's a link you might want to check out. This is a great place for authors who need either cover art, or a logo, or some promotional design ideas. Perhaps all three if it's a new release. Go check them out. They also have a gallery of their work over on Deviant Art, so if you're interested in seeing what kind of things they do, drop by and take a look.

Things on the horizon...

The RT BOOKlovers Convention
April 2012, Chicago, Illinois.

Always a great time, seeing friends again and sharing the fun. This one was no exception - thanks to all who made it such a success.

I'm trying to plan a couple more trips, so as soon as everything is firmed up, you'll hear about it here, and you can keep track of where I am, along with the government, my wife and a variety of other people who have iPhones with those little locator apps on 'em. Scary stuff.

As always, you can also keep up with these things by getting on the mailing list for S.L. Carpenter's NEWS FLASH! Go ahead. I don't send it out very often, but it's fun - and who doesn't need some fun these days?
