Choosing names for my story people is a complicated process. Rarely does a name simply plop itself into my work and fit perfectly on the first try.

Here, let me authorgraph that book for you.
One thing we lose when we choose ebooks over paperbacks or hardbacks is the ability to have an author personally autograph our book. Right? Almost. Thanks to the internet, combined with a little ingenuity, it’s possible to have authors authorgraph some of your digital books. Authorgraph is free and easy to request! How To Request An Authorgraph: Go to www.authorgraph.com/authors/DianeCapri […]
Saturday Special: Fun With Grammar!
What are weekends for, if not for having fun with grammar?? Based on your reading pet peeves survey results, I know many of you will agree with me — grammar is more than a book of rules — it’s a way of life! “Thank you, apostrophes, for being pretty cool, even though sometimes you can […]

Meet Me in London?
If you’ll be in or near London, I hope I’ll get a chance to meet you later this month. One of my goals this year was to meet as many of you as I possibly can in person. Toward that end, I’m crossing the pond. I’ll be attending three events April 16 – 18. Hope to […]

What’s your biggest reading pet peeve?
If you’re anything like me, there’s been more than one occasion when you’ve started a book and read a few pages or a few chapters, set the book down, and never came back. It happens. No shame in that. But WHY does it happen??? That’s the question that a recent Fussy Librarian survey addressed, and it got […]

Hit “Reset” With Me For Spring!
For those of you in the Northern Hemisphere with me… welcome to spring! (To everyone else, happy autumn!) I like to think of spring as a second chance at the New Year. A second chance to reset, to revisit those resolutions, to revise them or renew them, reevaluate, and “Caffeinate and Carry On!” That’s exactly […]
