If you haven’t caught Author Talk, with Jill Monroe and Gena Showalter, you’re missing the best videos ever! I think Jill and Gena should win some kind of award for these. :boobie:
Check out this week’s video below (um because you might find something you recognize :giggle: ), and then go to the Author Talk website and watch them all!

Ants. In my house. In my kitchen. And my bathroom.
:gah:
We’ve had a crapload of rain this spring, and when it comes down, it comes down in sheets. Clearly the ants weren’t happy about the minor monsoon season outside, so decided to take refuge inside. In my house.
Which makes me not happy. I’ve been fighting these bastards for two weeks now, to no avail. I’ve kept dishes out of the sink, no food is left out, everything is sealed up tight. It’s hard to cook when every time I put food down on my counter they come running like eager puppies.
Bastards.
Yesterday we found this new stuff that’s supposed to kill them, made with sugar and Borax. It attracts them, they eat it, take it to the nest and die. Biker Dude put it down and the ants went to partying all over it like it was lines of cocaine. I leaned on the counter and watched them swarm it, a huge grin on my face. Oh yeah. Party down, dudes. (i.e., die, you bastards, die).
My life is so interesting, isn’t it?
I. Hate. Ants.
Lots of folks are heading out of town this week to attend the Romantic Times convention in Pittsburgh. I won’t be one of them. I decided not to go to any conferences this year. Too many books to write, too many deadlines, and Biker Dude and I wanted to back away from taking trips for his job and my job so we could take an actual vacation later this summer.
So I’ll be here this week slaving away while a lot of authors and readers are off partying their asses off in Pittsburgh. Though we’re going to have a little party of our own at the Writeminded Yahoo Readers Group, so if you’re of the mind to party with those of us staying at home, feel free to join in.
And speaking of Writeminded, over at the Writeminded Blog today, my Samhain editor Angela James is introducing an awesome new shifter anthology. Go over and read all about it and you’ll have a chance to win a copy of all 6 e-books. Here’s the link
Since I finished another book last week, today I get to start a new one! Yayyy! Today I’ll be digging into Spence, one of the Wild Riders who was introduced in Riding Wild and plays even a larger role in Riding Temptation (which isn’t out yet, but trust me, you’ll love him in Riding Tempyation, which release October 7th.) He’ll get his own story in Riding on Instinct, which I start writing today. I’m really looking forward to playing around with him….in a literary sense, of course :giggle:
So Spence becomes my project for the next few months. I really love my job :sasmokin:
What’s on your To Do List this week?
