Hey, y'all, I'm at Southern Fried Gothic today (http://tinyurl.com/7t85d9p) talking about the South and how it influences my writing. Come say hey!

Read an excerpt of my new release, Fortune's Fool.

Hello, 2012! The old year was particularly, um, challenging for me, so I am happy to see it go. Not that it was all bad. Here are some of the big things that happened in 2011 that I'm grateful for:

I drafted a new romantic comedy script, "The Apology."

My first screenplay, "Package Deal, or The Blue Jay's Egg" was a finalist in the StoryPros Awards and made it to the second round of the PAGE Awards.

My Austin house sold in a day.

I came back to Tennessee, where family and friends have made me welcome.

I found a great church home.

I released my first historical mystery, Fortune's Fool, which became a Kindle bestseller. It's now available in paperback, too.

I moved into a fabulous apartment I love.

I wrote the first draft for the next book in the Psychic Socialite Series, A Billy Sunday Kind of Love, during NaNoWriMo.

That's all pretty cool. And there's other stuff, more modest, everyday accomplishments that please me, so I can't wait to see what the new year brings. Happy 2012, y'all!

Hey, y'all, I'm the featured author on Wattpad's latest podcast. It's my first podcast interview, so please come have a listen. I was greatly relieved to discover that my Southern accent is still intact. http://soundcloud.com/wattpad/jane-se...
