The status o’ the blog…..

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

So here’s the deal (which will permanently stay in the sidebar…)

I’m still blogging here on occasion, but it’s hard blogging with kids and a house and a writing schedule and … {insert noise of doom} … laundry. So I’ve decided to delegate.

I’m cracking the whip and my alter ego (newbie that she is) is taking over the bulk of the blogging task. You can find her (ahem, me) over at my
J.K. Beck site

I hope you come check it out!

Pop over here to see who won the Kindle … and what new contests are in the works as I (aka J.K. Beck) count down to the release of the first three books in the Shadow Keepers series!

Have you met Simon’s Cat?

Confessions of an App-oholic

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

My name is J.K., and I’m an iPhone App-oholic.

Seriously. It’s rather scary, though less expensive than being a Desktop App-oholic. (So many apps are free, free, free!)

But rather than let some of my fun, productive, useful and, yes, crappy-ass Apps simply sit on my phone doing their little app things, I thought I should review them. And so the All About Apps category is going to be a regular feature of the blog (you gotta love regular features–it takes away that “what the HECK should I write about” problem).

Seeing as I am J.K. Beck, I’m an app-aholic, too.  Come join me over at my J.K. Beck site, where I’ll be reviewing all my little iPhone goodies!

Lego Ergo Sum

Friday, January 29th, 2010

LEGO building blocks are, truly, some of the coolest toys out there. Now, I don’t qualify as a major geek I can’t write machine code, and I don’t own a Wii, but I definitely appreciate the several stories tall Lego creations that you can find in cool places like the Times Square Toys R Us and the LEGO store at Disneyland.

screenshotHey! My alter ego website is live! There’s information about my upcoming Shadow Keeper series–including awesome advance quotes and the back cover copy of the first two books, a link to join the mailing list, a link to enter a contest to win a Kindle and an ARC, and lots more. Plus a blog with fun features like The (mostly) Daily Factoid, The Cocktail Hour, and other fun stuff.

I hope you check it out!

Tweetfriend my alter ego!

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

So, I’m finally getting around to breathing life into my alter ego (who is, of course, ten pounds thinner and with much better hair). I’ve set up a Twitter account and a Facebook account, and I’m going to take the website live this coming Monday! Whoo hoo!

So, track me — aka J.K. Beck — down on Twitter and Facebook … and stay tuned for the announcement for the new website going live!

Introducing … a new me!!! (and, hey, goodies and Kindle-icious prizes!!)

Friday, July 10th, 2009

Check out my alter ego! And sign up to win a free Kindle and an advance copy of my new series starting next summer!

Yes, it’s true! I’ve got an alter ego! I’ll be starting a new series of dark, sexy paranormal romantic suspense novels for Bantam in 2010, and I’ll be writing them under a new name, JK Beck (JK for, hey, Julie Kenner; Beck because, well, it’s my name!)

Check it out (this won’t be the final webpage, but I’m pretty happy with what I did over a weekend. Go, iWeb!) — http://www.TheShadowKeepers.com or http://www.jkbeck.com (they go to the same place)

And, yeah, I’m a little early, but I want folks going to next week’s RWA con to know about the buttons…and to wear them. Keep reading to see what the heck I’m talking about:
Screenshot!
In honor of the name and the books, I’m giving away buttons that tie in with the series, and you can get them by emailing me through the new series website (there’s a link and email addie on the site) or, if you’re going to RWA, grab one from the goodie room.

Check the link for “KYNE” on the webpage.

And here’s the really cool part! If you take a picture of yourself wearing the button (or write a message on cardboard and hold it up!) and email it to me (include a first name and home town), I’ll add you to a Kyne photo album on the site I’m going to be putting together soon.

I’m really excited about these books. Hope you pop over and check it out! And spread the word! The more, the merrier!
