You just couldn’t stand the fact that I was happy to see you last week. Today is Thursday, and I’m glad you’re over with. You were not nice to me.
This probably means that next Thursday is going to suck rocks, but for now, I’m really glad to see you…
:weee:
Today was splendiferous. I’ve already gotten so many wonderful emails from readers who’ve read Sweet Surrender and Golden Eyes. My favorite part of this whole writing gig are the reader emails. So thank you. For all of you who buy and read my books. I’m still in awe over anyone who actually buys something I wrote. *sniffle*
At any rate, today is the official release day for both books, though Sweet Surrender has been popping up in various locations over the last week. OH and also, this time, my Berkley release is available in ebook format. :rockthefuckon: I love ebooks and Im so excited that Sweet Surrender can be purchased as an ebook.
You can read all about Sweet Surrender here.
AND just because who can resist a double dose of fun and EBOOKS :lol2: Golden Eyes is now available from Loose ID.
and of course you can read all about Golden Eyes here.
so I don’t suppose you’ll hear me whining about it. :stfu:
The weekend was fun. Hubby and I were supposed to paint. But uhm we didn’t. See, we’ve been supposed to do this forever, but damn we’re dreading it. The problem is we have a list of house stuff but painting is the first thing we have to do. We’re getting new carpet but we don’t want to get new carpet until after we’ve painted. We’re also getting new furniture, but why move out the old and move in the new when we’d just have to move it again to put down the new carpet. See where I’m going with this? So NOTHING can be done until we…PAINT. :cursesign:
I think right now I’d throw money at someone to come put me out of my misery and paint for me.
Today, I come off a month of not writing contracted stuff. I spent February writing proposals. I finished some. Still have finishing touches to put on one and uhm I’m still in the building stages of the last :oops: But now it’s just going to have to be worked on around my next three deadlines because I have to get moving on Into the Lair, Sweet Persuasion and The Cowboys’ Mistress (Is that not the cheesiest fun title ever? lololol)
All work will be put away, however, this afternoon because I’m going to see Tim McGraw at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo :whoo: Every year, we get offered tickets to the various acts at the rodeo (hubby knows people) and it’s just never worked out that we could go. So I’m looking forward to tonight’s concert. I heart Tim McGraw :banana:
Over at the Writeminded Readers Yahoo Group, we’ve been having more fun than human beings should be allowed, and I think we broke Jaci’s in box :purplelaugh: If you aren’t a member and like a good time plus winning yummy books, then you should definitely join us before the weekend is over because we’re throwing a party and things are getting crazy :oops:
Over at the Writeminded Blog, Steph is doing the TGIF giveaway and we’re declaring it Steph’s official Blaze release day at both the blog and the reader’s group, so much fun is to be had as we randomly shout words like SEALS!!!!
Really, we’re fun. And we don’t bite…hard.
I hate you. Wednesday is my new best friend. Unless of course it goes like Monday and Tuesday…
Then I’ll seriously be looking at Thursday.
:drunk:
The month off “writing” has been nice. I didn’t say work, because I’ve actually worked quite a bit this month, but I didn’t write a single word on a contracted book. I’m itching to get back to it, but the break was much needed and it got my brain working in all sorts of fun ways.
I got several proposals done that I’ve been wanting to write. I’m still working on two but I’ve almost got the big one wrapped up. I love it, and my agent loves what I have so far :banana: And then uhm, I have this totally unexpected one that sorta grabbed me by the throat and threatened to choke me if I didn’t write it. :kap:
So now I have less than a week to devote solely to this one last proposal and then I’ll hit March hard with the writing and I won’t stop until uhm well several months from now :sweating:
Golden Eyes will be releasing in less than three two weeks. I’ll be putting an excerpt up on the website as soon as my web chicky gets to it. (excerpt is now up on website) In the meantime, here is the unofficial blurb and an excerpt :cheer:
Golden Eyes
Coming March 4th to Loose ID
When Sheriff Duncan Kennedy finds an injured cheetah in his mountains, he brings it home, determined to find out how she got there and stop the poachers who were hunting her. When he later checks on the cheetah and instead finds a gorgeous, naked woman with an arrow in her leg, he’s completely flabbergasted.
For six months, Aliyah Carver has been trapped in cheetah form. Taken by poachers who import exotic animals to illegally hunt, she stayed in animal form to avoid detection. She escapes the hunters, but now she faces another problem. A devastatingly sexy sheriff who now knows her secret.
Excerpt after the jump!
I’ve petted and loved and fondled and named it George…
I go through stages where hubby and I cook a LOT and then there are the times when we…don’t.
When we first got married, I couldn’t cook for shit. I had three things in my repertoire. So we kinda learned together and had a lot of fun doing it. And as a result, I’ve figured out the cooking thing quite well.
One of our favorite things to do is pick out a new recipe, shop for the ingredients and then have a big family sit down meal on Sunday. Sometimes it’s Saturday.
and boy do we love to barbeque. We barbeque 365 days a year.
So lately has been my non cooking stage *sigh* I suck. And the kids are getting tired of it. I don’t blame them. So I’m going to have to get back on the bandwagon and get back in the habit of cooking dinner every night.
Tonight we’re having crab legs because my daughter has been DYING for them. Tomorrow night they want lasagna and then they want spaggetti. I think they have a month’s worth of menu suggestions lined up for me….
:kap:
I love weeks like this. Warm fuzzies abound. Lots of pink elephants :elephant:
Sweet Surrender was the five heart sweetheart over at The Romance Studio.
Also at The Romance Studio, the CAPA awards were given yesterday and For Her Pleasure won for best erotic contemporary romance.
I also learned that For Her Pleasure has gone back to press twice :whoo: My readers are awesome and I owe every bit of my warm fuzzy news to them.
And tonight at the ARE awards, I snagged an award for best author for 2007 (There were ten authors honored) and Brazen was honored as the top book for 2007 (10 were honored in this category as well)
It was a terrific end to a splendiferous week of news :weee:
