Freakin' Cold

Today would be a wonderful day to stay home, curl up under several blankets, and not leave the house for any reason...lol.

Last night, I wrote two love scenes for two different stories. I had two different points-of-view. One story is in 1st person. The other is in 3rd person. Two completely different plots, but I wrote them alternatingly (which isn't a word, but I couldn't think of the right one) I'd write a paragraph or two on one, then switch to the other. :) We'll see what it turns out like.

Have to do edits for Soothe the Burn this weekend and get those back. Yay!

Well, I hope you all are staying warm and have a great Friday.

New Excerpt Posted...

I posted an excerpt from Wishing for a Home at SiN (the Liquid Silver Forum). Check it out. :)

Oh, and With This Ring hit the Top 10 Bestsellers at ARe. It's #9 right now. Woo-hoo! That means half of my books listed at ARe were bestsellers at some point. I'm happy with that. I mean who wouldn't be, huh?

Still writing...lol...though it's getting a little slower going, but that's par for the course for me. Usually by the end of January..beginning of Feb., I slow down a little. Probably the mid-winter blahs. I'm just looking for any hint of sunlight and warmth. :)

Hope you all have a great Wednesday.

Monday...all ready?

Well, the weekend wasn't as productive as I would have liked, writing wise. Although I did write at the casino after losing my allotted money...lol. So I sat in the bar, had a drink, and wrote for a little while.

Instead I worked on cleaning the house...which is my least fun thing to do, but I can only let it go for so long before the dust bunnies and dirt dishes take over the place.

Well, it's the start of another work day. I hope you all have a great Monday. :)

Woo-Hoo Friday's Here Again.

Thank goodness it's Friday...only 7 more hours before I'm done for two days. Yay! I'm busy tonight and all day tomorrow, but on Sunday, I plan on sitting down and working on my story. I want to get further along in it because I have so many other characters waiting in the wings for their stories to be told.

I hope you all have a great Friday and a marvelous weekend.

Ugh!

Woke up with a migraine, took some meds, and called in sick. I went back to bed and didn't get up until a few minutes ago. I'm going to curl up on the couch now and hopefully go back to sleep.

My thoughts and prayers go out to a good friend, Deb, who's fighting her own battles today. And also to the people of Haiti who were hit with another earthquake this morning.

I hope you all have a great Wednesday.

Halfway through January...

This is one of those pictures that a story could be written about. :)

Wow...we're already halfway through January. Where has the month gone? I'm busy writing and not really paying much attention to anything around me...lol. I have edits for Fighting Dragons to get done, but that shouldn't take me too long. I picked a story and I've been working on it alone, instead of working on several different stories at once. So I'm hoping it'll be done soon. Yay!

Hope you all have a great Monday.

The end of the week...

I don't have anything new to talk about...lol. Kind of been a boring week. Just working and writing. Sad story of my life. :D And I plan on writing all weekend as well. Have to get closer to finishing a couple of these stories soon.

Oh, and Lynn, about not naming the next Sports book, Tight End...it was tempting, but Matt is a defensive player, so Tight End wouldn't work. And I try not to do suggestive titles, though it was pointed out that Soothe the Burn could have two different meanings, depending on how you look at it. ;)

Enjoy the eye candy and have a great Friday. Keep safe and have fun over the weekend as well.

Middle of the week blues...

Ugh! Is it Friday yet? Not that it really matters, but for some reason, this week is going by so slowly. :) Maybe if I just stare at this picture long enough, I'll forget all the other junk...lol.

Woo-hoo! Wishing for a Home has hit the Coming Soon section at Liquid Silver. I posted the blurb there if you'd like to refresh your memory about Derek and Max. :) I can't wait to see what the cover looks like for this one.

I did a little writing on Trailing Air, the next Preternaturals book, and Defensive End, the next Love of Sports book, yesterday. Along with one or two other stories I've been working on as well. As much as I know I need to focus on one book and finish it, my mind isn't letting me. So I'm rolling with the punches and taking whatever characters want to talk to me at the time I'm able to write. We'll see which one gets done first...lol.

I guess I should start my work day. Yay! Take care and have a great Wednesday.

Winter can be over...

any time now. I'm tired of it and the cold. Of course, I hate cold weather anyway, so I get annoyed by it very easily...lol. Just really hate driving in it.

Working on various stories...and made some good progress on them. It's always nice to see a story reaching the end, though it's sad to say good-bye to the characters because I fall in love with each other (a little) as I bring them into being.

Well, it's time to start my day job....so I hope you all have a wonderful and safe Monday. Hopefully, you're warm wherever you are.

Snowy Friday

Darn it...I was hoping my boss would close for the day, so I didn't have to navigate the bad roads and crazy drivers who believe that four wheel drive and a truck makes them invincible. *shakes head* Idiots. Those are the ones I tend to wave at as I drive past and they're stuck in a ditch...lol. (I might be a little vindictive.)

Writing is going well. Getting stuff accomplished, but nothing's close to be finished yet. I'm getting there though. Hopefully, I'll get a good amount done this weekend. :) Just have to figure out which one to work on.

Have a great Friday and a safe weekend. Stay warm.

While you wait...

Unfortunately, it's going to take a while for me to post the next installment of Bastet, but I'll try to get to it today. :) I thought I'd post this very yummy photo...and give you a review to read.

Check out my Best Book review at Long and Short Reviews as part of their Whipped Cream reviews. It's an awesome review and I'd like to thank Tuberose for loving With This Ring so much. ;)

I'll be back as soon as I can with Bastet.

It just so happens that I only had two releases at Liquid Silver last year and both are in the top three on the list. Yay! Also, With This Ring is still hanging around on Samhain's best seller list at #4. It got to #3 before falling, but still that's awesome. :)

Oh and aren't those boys so pretty? lol

I hope you all have a great Wednesday. I know I will.

Happy New Year...

Wow...where did 2009 go?

It turned out to be a good year for me after all. I had thirteen books released this past year. And I also wrote thirteen books for a total of over 400,000 words. Yay! Best writing year, word wise, ever. :)

We have a break this month since I don't have a book coming out, but starting in Feb. I have four books out in three months. That's always a good way to start the year off right.

I did some writing on Deviants, but I also worked on Out of Light into Darkness, which is the book I'll hopefully finish next...or it'll be the first book finished in 2010.

I hope you all had a great holiday and have a marvelous 2010.
