What it means...
The name for this blog came from a conversation I had with a friend who referred to life as a published author as "life on the bubble". And it's true; you are always on the bubble–lines close, life gets in the way, and the market changes. You can never settle in and feel secure–so there you are sitting on that darn bubble and hoping it doesn’t burst right under your…you know. But for all that, it's a great gig and I'm thrilled to have a shot at it.

OMG - I can’t believe that. That’s crazy.
Of course KM writes the way SK would. Duh. Why in the hell would they even have SK write a page of quotes to be used for KM?

by Jennifer Yates March 2nd, 2006 at 2:41 pmOh, and this brings up something that I have always wondered…how do you get/pick the author quotes on covers? Do you ask authors or do they offer them?
by Jennifer Yates March 2nd, 2006 at 2:46 pmI am guessing this is kind of tongue in cheek for Sherilyn Kenyon–and her publisher probably figured either readers wouldn’t know it was the same person or if they did, they’d just think it was funny. I think it’s funny. :)
by Lori March 2nd, 2006 at 3:05 pmAs to where authors get quotes–it varies. All the Zebra Debut authors got quotes on their first books that Zebra got for us. We had nothing to do with them.
Sometimes an author will ask another author to read the book and give a quote.
It just depends. I’ve heard that the big names sometimes set a number limit they will give in a year so they aren’t completely swamped.

I think it is funny too!!! Thanks for answering my question!
by Jennifer Yates March 2nd, 2006 at 3:07 pmThat’s my ultimate writing goal. To write the blurb for my own book. LOL!
