Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

That's fabulous, Amy! And totally earned.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Amy, it occurred to me - do you write your own copy for the back cover? I mean, you COULD ... and at least it'd be accurate ....

Because books.

Not for Harlequin. I did for my Kensington books, because why not? Easier for everyone. But lo, the Harlequin hierarchy is byzantine and foreboding. You should have seen the FOUR-PAGE art fact sheet I had to fill out for the cover.

To be clear, Kensington is where I used to work, and where I also wrote tons and tons of cover copy as a freelancer.
