So, today is Caribbean Day at work. Am I there? No, I’m on vacation! But I did send in some Jerk Chicken and Cooling Ranch Veggies to the party since it’s important to feed the masses. So, yes, because I enjoy sharing, I’ll share both recipes for you. Read the rest of this entry »
Yes, just when you thought it wouldn’t happen– it’s HERE! It’s here! *grins* Special just for me on my 3rd anniversary with my male– Ride Me, Baby is available!Where may you get this fun, erotic romp? CLICK HERE.
Synopsis:
When Baby meets Harley, sparks fly and not all of them good. The man wants her bike for Pete’s sake and has a jealous streak a mile wide.
There’s no way Baby can run a motorcycle shop on her own, not without some serious backing and the mysterious Doc seems the likely candidate. Just what is Baby doing to earn the backing of the mystery man?
Seriously, I’m not kidding. I’ve got a new story coming out soon over at Aspen Mountain Press. Which is great because it’s their birthday at the end of the month. *grins* What you might ask, would the story be about? It would be a story I wrote a LONG time ago- one when I thought I could write contemporary and eschew a life of BDSM and paranormal. Little did I know that my past would come back and one of my editors would ask to see the story once more. Thus- Ride Me, Baby has a home and yes– it’s coming out in August.
Follow the noise of rejoicing! Yes, I am too. Granted I’m in edits for it and for Love Beyond Time. It took a major act of change to really get me grooving with both sets of edits now. I’m feeling better and at the same time, I’m feeling like I’m coming home at last. It’s not easy, oh gods, it’s so not easy. But at the same time, I’m at that point where I’m able to move myself forward now– see what I want to do and how to go about it. Which means one thing majorly– I’m getting into the writing habit because I’ve got to edit. LOL
The other happy thing is that by doing this, I’ve made myself happy. Really. I’m feeling so relieved and at the same time, happy to offer readers something they’ve never seen before from me. Part of me wonders what you’ll think, part of me hopes you’ll like it. Part of me wonders if this means that I can write contemporary on occasion. But happiness abounds regardless.
I’ve been struggling with the EDJ and trying to get my life in order. So on top of losing weight by being part of Weight Watchers, what do I do? I sign up to get my college degree. Part of it is because I need the motivation. I need the push to better myself and it’s something I’ve been lacking when it comes to my writing. I need a push from the outside to get my writing up to where I want it to be. Scary but true. On the other side of the coin, I’ve lost over 28 lbs since my hysterectomy and I’m feeling great.
So, I’m trying to go the distance. I’m trying to put my life in order- working my day job to go to college. Learning to get into a writing habit to make my writing better. And learning what it’s going to take to be the best me I can be. Scary but true.
You know, just when I thought that 2009 was a crappy year for me personally and not that great professionally as I struggled, I find out I’m nominated for Best Paranormal of the year by Love Romances. Can you believe it? How did I get nominated? Well, my second Marauder book, Call of the Wylde was nominated for Best Paranormal book. Starting today, voting begins, so that means that if you have a spare 15 minutes or less and want to put your vote into this reader/reviewer awards, you can be part of the fun. How do you get to be part of this? Let me quote Dawn Roberto’s email for you: Read the rest of this entry »
Just got my cover for Love Beyond Time! It’s gorgeous! Want a look? I know you do…..
So what do you think? I love it! The artists at Pink Petal really captured the essence of the storyline I created for Love Beyond Time, and it just rocks seeing the Giza Pyramids. Especially Menkaure’s.
I’ve been AWOL since Sunday. In fact, I’ve spent the past few days in the hospital. Funny thing is, I knew I’d end up there, but I didn’t know how bad I really was. First, I had to face the H1-N1 scare– and trust me, I was scared silly on having it or not. Luckily I don’t. But then I had to face an unpleasant truth- I’ve got asthma. You hear the word and you don’t think it’s that bad. But then the doctors and the respiratory therapists explain just how bad it is to you and the type of damage it can do to your lungs– permanently– and you realize something- you’re REALLY sick.
So, I’m home, I’m to take it easy until I see my docs and get clearance on things. I’m afraid. I’m scared, but I know I need to go slow- something I have a hard time doing. But the alternative is constantly coughing and gasping for breath because I’ve moved too fast and rushed doing something instead of taking it slower than normal.
I’m working on the Sex Ed article, but give me til the weekend. We’re going to be talking about Sex Drives again– especially in dealing with the emotional aspects of it.
That you can find my ebooks at my publisher sites– www.loose-id.net, www.aspenmountainpress.com, and redrosepublishing.com? But even better- you can get them at www.amazon.com, www.barnesandnoble.com, www.allromanceebooks.com, and www.fictionwise.com
How cool is that? I saw that today and started giggling. I’ve made it to the big leagues of buying places! YAY!
I’ve been so excited over this short story I wrote. Granted I was forced into writing it because of my crit partners who were listening to me bitch via IM about my male that night. But it’s funny how a story can take away the sting and give you some type of closure. Now I look at the story fondly and think that all men should be required to read at least one romance novel a year. At least. Read the rest of this entry »
It’s out! It’s out! That’s right, my latest book- Cupid Shoots, She Scores is finally out! You can find out more at http://www.loose-id.com/prod-Cupid_Shoots,_She_Scores_-902.aspx
I love this cover and the book. In it are some important dedications to people who helped this book to be the best it could be and there are some people I accidentally left out in the dedication. Without all of you– I’d never have gotten this book done and THANK YOU!
*goes off to celebrate*
