Monday, April 27, 2009. Win A Signed Copy of Blue Diablo. A couple of weeks ago, the fabulously talented Ann Aguirre. Was in town for a book signing, and I got two copies of. Both signed, one for me and one for.one of you! Now, I'm sure you've heard the "buzz" around this book, and it's totally deserved. I gobbled it up in two helpings, half on a plane on the way to Philadelphia and half on the way back. Up my alley- hello,. It was a foregone conclusion that I had to give. So, you want a copy? Please ema...

Jackie Does Dish: A Little Sneak Peak
http://jackiebarbosa.blogspot.com/2009/05/little-sneak-peak.html
Monday, May 4, 2009. A Little Sneak Peak. As some of you may remember, I had plans to roll out a new website and blog on May 1. Obviously, that date has been a bit delayed, and I'm not even 100% sure when everything will be up and running under the new template, but I'm just so thrilled with how it's coming together that I had to share a sneak peak of what Frauke at Croco Designs. Has worked up for me. Gorgeous, isn't it? In the meantime, be sure to keep visiting We Heart Historicals. Behind The Red Door.

Tuesday, September 30, 2008. I'm 1,200 words (give or take a few hundred) from the end of the third Red Door novella. It's due tomorrow. And yes, I'm going to make it! That said, I had to share this from the Online Etymology Dictionary. Posted by Jackie Barbosa. Links to this post. Monday, September 22, 2008. Well, the work-in-progress is currently sitting at a little over 12,000 words. The minimum word count for it is 25,000. Which means 1,000 words per day just isn't going to cut it. Links to this post.

Jackie Does Dish: January 2009
http://jackiebarbosa.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 30, 2009. When the Pieces Fall Together. When I tell other authors that I write historical, one of the more common responses I get (assuming they don't write historical themselves) is something along the lines of "Oh, I've always wanted to write a historical, but the all the research and the accuracy and the details are just. I wanted to find a bill that was actually put up to a vote during the legislative session of 1817, and I wanted it to be something my hero should obviously not favor...

Jackie Does Dish: March 2009
http://jackiebarbosa.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2009. Personality Types and the Internet. Today at our department meeting, we were talking about various personality typing indexes. The most well-known of these is the Myers-Briggs index, which determines your personality type or style based on four "opposing" sets of characteristics:. Ensing vs i N. Which is why I was utterly astonished to discover, when I tried out this tool for analyzing a website's content based on the Myers-Briggs index, that both my main site and this blog have.

Jackie Does Dish: Good Things Come to Those Who Wait
http://jackiebarbosa.blogspot.com/2009/04/good-things-come-to-those-who-wait.html
Monday, April 20, 2009. Good Things Come to Those Who Wait. Especially, apparently, to those who wait at airports! Last week, I had to fly to Philadelphia and back for business. And I spent far too much time in airports as a result. I didn't really expect any reward for my trouble, but when I arrived home on Friday, I found a box from Kensington Publishing containing. Blue Diablo, which I read on the plane to and from Philly and which I can recommend as one of the best books I've read in 2009. I'm not co...

Sunday, August 31, 2008. The 30K in 30 Days Challenge. X-posted from the Mavens blog. That's more than doable, of course. But since I've been "out of the saddle" for a full month now, it seems more than a bit daunting. And so, in an effort to motivate myself, I'm setting down the 30K in 30 Days Challenge. My friend and critique partner, Emma Petersen. Even created this graphic you can post on your blog or website if you decide to jump on the bandwagon:. YOUR TURN: Want to join the fun?

Jackie Does Dish: June 2008
http://jackiebarbosa.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 27, 2008. X-posted from the Manuscript Mavens blog. A few months ago, my local paper ran an article about a group of writers in my area who get together to support one another and commiserate over their rejections. (It wasn't the local RWA chapter, to which I belong.) Several people quoted in the story lamented over how impossible. It is for a debut author to get published in New York these days. Agents and editors won't even consider. But is that really true? Whose three-book deal with NAL/...
