Of Water And Writing

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

I snuck off to Las Vegas. My hubby had a conference and, well, after falling off a ladder and getting sick I thought I deserved a few days lounging by the pool. Riiiiight. ‘Cause my life’s so tough…(that’s sarcasm, by the way).
Got a book at the airport. It’s written by one [...]

I’m over at the Brava Blog today. Stop in and say helllo.

Buy, Buy, Buy

Saturday, June 9th, 2007

You could probably hear me shouting for joy around 3pm PST yesterday. Some of my author copies of YOUR MOUTH DRIVES ME CRAZY arrived. Seeing a box full of my books just makes me gleeful. Out of fear of seeing something hideous, I did not read it (again). But I was [...]

Summer Reading For Chicks

Friday, June 8th, 2007

According to USA Today, there are enough chick lit offerings to go around this summer. If you can’t find something you like, you’re not looking hard enough…or so “they” say (whoever “they” are).
Now, read through these. Tell me which one of these, if any, appeals to you:
Falling Out of Fashion by [...]

Get A Clue

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

Someone sent this article around on one of the writing loops I’m on. It was called: My Book Deal Ruined My Life. It’s one of those woe-is-me, self-indulgent, the-life-of-a-writer-is-so-hard articles. Honestly, every single time I see this crap I want to beat someone to death with my pen.
Yes, writing is [...]

Workplace Romance…Sort Of

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

Maybe it’s a bit of a throwback to the 80s, but I love the workplace romance novel. My preference is for a modern twist - ie, the heroine doesn’t have to be the alpha boss hero’s administrative assistant. She can be a co-worker, the boss, an outside consultant - whatever.
I [...]

For Jennifer

Tuesday, June 5th, 2007

Huge Congratulations to my oldest niece Jennifer. She graduates from high school today - Wahoo for Jennifer!!!!

I was supposed to be there to see her get her diploma and cheer her on, but I got sick. Damn germs!!! I postponed the trip, sent a gift (an iPod - she knows, so that’s [...]

Three From Hawaii

Monday, June 4th, 2007

For Samhain/Kensington news, check out Dear Author. From now on, I plan to check the site first thing every morning for news about what’s happening at my own publisher…[sigh]
But, back to me. Robin Snodgrass read YOUR MOUTH DRIVES ME CRAZY for review over at Romance Junkies. She stopped by here and said [...]

Random RT Thoughts

Sunday, June 3rd, 2007

One of the benefits of being sick and unable to go anywhere or do anything is in being able to read the newest issue of RT from cover to cover without interruptions and before my dog has a chance to eat it. In addition to my very good review for YOUR MOUTH DRIVES ME [...]

Around The Internet

Friday, June 1st, 2007

So, I’m sick. Like, can’t hold my head up type of sick. I hate that. While I wallow in my germs, I thought I’d point out some info around the net.
First, if you haven’t already, make sure you check out the new site Romantic Advances. Very cool. Seeing what’s coming [...]
