Ohmigosh, with all the holiday bustle I haven’t yet posted this awesome announcement! Andy and The Rev over at Cocktail Hour featured their reviews of and thoughts on Sword of the Guardian and Branded Ann in Episode 8 of their podcast!!

Shasta and I were up ’til midnight listening & laughing our butts off — these two are SO funny. *gringrin* And they had so many nice things to say about the books! I love hearing critique from actual readers, and they did a very impressive job of reviewing the storylines without spoilers. I send them many thanks & hugs for choosing my books to review — there is nothing in the world more flattering, as an author, than to have folks who want to spread the word of your stories!!

Andy & The Rev review a lot of Bold Strokes authors on their show, alongside many other fantastic lesbian storytellers from the publishing and fanfic worlds. Fans of les lit (like chick lit, right? haha…) definitely ought to check out their blog & subscribe to the RSS feed or iTunes podcast so you can catch every episode!

As for Christmas, Shasta and I hosted my family at our house again this year, and we had a marvelous time. My “baby” brother Caleb is in Iraq right now, so the highlight of this year’s holiday celebration was arranging to talk to him via Skype, with webcams, and we projected his handsome face up on our television for everybody to see! We lucked out and got a great connection, too, so we must have talked to him for a good 3 hours or so. We even all opened presents together like we usually do. ‘Twas a great time.

Hoping everyone else had just as merry a Christmas!
