A Little Something For Everyone

Friday, June 29th, 2007

I am supposed to be Pennsylvania visiting my parents and family starting today… I’m still in San Diego. For those who follow along here, you know I had planned to go to Pennsylvania at the beginning of June for my niece Jen’s graduation and a family visit. Instead, I got sick. Like, [...]

The Next Day

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

I read books other than romance. That’s probably not a shocking announcement, but I figured you all needed a break from my YOUR MOUTH DRIVES ME CRAZY promotion train. [Notice how I managed to mention the title and post the link one more time?] About every fourth book is something different. [...]

Release Day Is Here

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

Okay, yeah, B&N online has been shipping YOUR MOUTH DRIVES ME CRAZY for two weeks now. So what? Today is the official Release Day. A day which, as you can see, requires capitalization. Yay!
Since it is Release Day, I’ve decided to be everywhere at once talking about the book. Annoying, [...]

On The Eve

Monday, June 25th, 2007

Tomorrow is the official big day - the release of YOUR MOUTH DRIVES ME CRAZY. Notice how I said official. Many folks have spotted the book on the shelves at bookstores and B&N online has been shipping it for about two weeks now. I tried to track it down in San Diego [...]

Author Spotlight: Marta Acosta

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

About a year ago I reviewed Happy Hour At Casa Dracula by Marta Acosta for PBR. It was smart, unique, well written and utterly engaging. It had an eye-catching cover and a snappy title. At a time when I had read my fill of sassy paranormal tales, this managed to entertain me [...]

Early Release

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

[Please excuse the annoying blast of self-promotion included in this post. It just seems appropriate since, you know, my book is coming out and it's my first single title and this is my blog and...well, you get the idea.]
The official release date for YOUR MOUTH DRIVES ME CRAZY is June 26th. That would [...]

On Elizabeth Guest

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

I always find it interesting when authors change names either to write in a different genre or for whatever other reason. When I saw a new book by Elizabeth Guest I had a “I’ve never heard of her before” reaction. But, I had. Elizabeth Guest is Suzanne Simmons…and vice versa. So, [...]

A Different Direction

Monday, June 18th, 2007

One of the first category romance authors I ever read was Cait London. I got free copies of books from London, Eileen Wilks and Susan Mallery. I liked all three, ended up buying their books as they came out and then followed them out of category and into non-category single titles.
Wilks’ [...]

Back From Las Vegas

Saturday, June 16th, 2007

I’m back home. Had a lovely time in Las Vegas. This time the lights and electricity stayed on at Bellagio.*** I do have a few thoughts to offer:
-Dry or wet, 109 degrees is freaking hot. Like, cook a steak on your back hot. You folks who live in the desert [...]

Those Bad Boys

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

One of the joys of vacationing is the opportunity to look through magazines like US Weekly. Notice how I said “look” and not read. Basically, I page through, stare at the pretty photos and read the captions. This time I also read a few things, like the explanation of different types of [...]
