A few years back, near dusk in late January, I saw somethingmoving on our back deck, outside of our sliding glass door, and I realized it wasa raccoon. She was a very thin female, with teats that suggested she’d recentlygiven birth and was nursing babies. I knelt on my side of the door, and sheslowly came up to me. Her eyes were so desperate. She was so hungry.

We live in a town with suburbs, and in winter, there isnothing for the raccoons to eat. On my computer, I loo...

 

I don’tbelieve in love at first sight.

 

I believetwo people who enjoy each other’s company can create a strong bond, and if theyare kind to each other and find ways to share a life together, then over a period oftime, the bond simply grows stronger, and they become a couple.

 

But as I’vegrown older, I realize this is true of friendships as well. I’ve known womenwho say, “I much prefer men friends. I don’t normally make friends with otherwomen.”

 

I’m the oppo...

 

So . . . it's been some time since I posted here. I'm active on Facebook (I never quite got the hang of Twitter), but I keep my "Friends" list on Facebook pretty small, limited for the most part to close friends and family.

But lately, I've been thinking about doing some blogging on thoughts and life . . . and I thought to just post in here.

I know most people who read this page are fans of either my writing or the novels I wrote with J.C.

But the past few years have brought many changes to our li...

So . . . I almost never join Facebook groups. My personal friends list is pretty small. When I chat in there, I
prefer to chat with people I know. But about two weeks ago, I joined a
group with over 11,000 people who love to read urban fantasy. And it's
been fun! I've really enjoyed some of the threads. Those folks do love
them some Faith Hunter. It makes me smile.



At first, people seemed kind of shocked that I was just in there
chatting with them about books I've enjoyed reading, but wh...

On writing . . .








I'm a different person when I'm writing and when I'm "not writing." I'm always kind. I always get everything done that needs to be done. But when I'm not writing, I'm 100% "there" for the other people in my life. When I'm working on a book, I'm someplace else. Since I'm a binge writer, I can often get an entire novel written in a few months, but during those months, I'm someplace else.










Not long after I turned in the last book in the Dark Glass series, I made ...

When Dhampir was published in 2003, I was clueless about how anything worked in the publishing industry. We were paid a $6,000 advance, and the book just sort of "came out." It had a good cover and a fun-looking story line, and the powers-that-be at both B&N and Borders ordered quite a few copies to stack up on tables at the front of bookstores--and a lot of people still visited bookstores. J.C. and I did no publicity. We had no idea what publicity even was. A 10,000 copy first printing so...

Both links (e-book and print) are live! I'm really excited.



It's been a while since I've written any contemporary fantasy, but these characters started running around inside my head, and once I'd written the first novel, I could see an entire series. I'm working on book two now.
