Griot 2008 posted a blog postWho Really Dresses Like This?
I had this wacky video of yours truly on my website, but people weren't getting it -- that I was doing this tongue in cheek. Even some people that knew me were taking this seriously. I was dressed half corporate, half thugged out -- looking crazy as hell. Who really dresses like this? I had to add two more videos so people could see and feel the real me. Check it out when you get the chance. http://www.stoneheartbx.comSee More

Stoneheart On Audio
I just finished editing the audio version my book. The process was painful, time comsuming, and tedious. I ended up using Sounbooth CS4 by Adobe to get the job done.

Adobe offers a 30 day free trial which allowed me to lay down the entire 360 pages and then edit it. Unfortunately, I found a few errors after I thought I was finished, so I had to buy the program in the end. How did the… Continue

Diane posted a blog postAdvice on Exploring Erotica in Your Writing
MediaBistro's Morning Media Menu had a conversation with author Jamie Brenner about advice for writers looking to explore this newly crowded genre.

Fifty Shades of Grey really raised the bar for that. At the same time, working…See More
