You may remember that I was supposed to post a character bio for Tess yesterday. You may have noticed that I didn’t do so. There is a reason.

I finished the bio and, in fact, scheduled it for posting. I was going to set up a subpage off the Waiting For Spring page for the bios, so that they wouldn’t get lost among the other posts on the main blog. Still, it was looking a little cluttered and wasn’t easily accessible. I put the problem to friend of mine, who came up with an awesome idea. Instead of putting the bios here on my blog, I should create a Waiting For Spring wiki page.

Personally, I think it’s a brilliant idea and am going to take the suggestion. I’ll post the link as soon as I get the site set up. Once it is, I’ll start posting content. The cool part is that readers will be able to post content as well. Whoo hoo!

So stay tuned.

In the meantime, some things you probably didn’t know about Tess:

• Her middle name is Susan. (This fact did not make it past first draft stage.)
• Birthday: November 24, 1971, the day before Thanksgiving.
• Other than a smart-ass mouth, a lack of height and a love of the Boston Red Sox, she inherited nothing from me directly. Believe me when I say that a fictionalized version of my life would be a damned boring book.

In other news, on Friday September 4 at 11pm (Eastern Daylight Time) I’ll be a panelist on Stacey Cochran’s new online tv show, BookChatter. Hopefully this will be a recurring gig. We’re going to try to set up a video link for me, instead of a phone link like last week. If it works I’ll have to wear actual clothes while doing the show instead of my pajamas (like last week). I’ll most likely wear my Mary Kay Suede lipstick, too. Be sure to check it out, and to call in. That would be awesome.
