Cool Stuff

Life in Motion, My Book Stuff

I got very cool news over the weekend. WILD WICKED & WANTON came in first place in the More Than Magic contest sponsored by Romance Writer’s Ink! :boobie: I was very excited, especially since I had some stellar competition in my category, with books by amazingly talented authors Sasha White, Karin Tabke and Sharon Page.

Had a really nice weekend. #2 son arrived from California late Friday night. I only get to see him once a year since he teaches high school and only gets summers off, so it’s always so great when he gets here. Even nicer this year is that since #1 son moved here, this is the first year in a very long time that both my boys are here at the same time. So Father’s Day yesterday they were both here, along with our daughter and granddaughter and my mother in law came too.

Isn’t this a great pic of us with our kids?

Our daughter in law had to work yesterday, so she’s missing. But we’re supposedly having a family picture taken tomorrow (providing it doesn’t rain) so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Of course, it’s raining this morning and it’s not looking so great for Tuesday. 😥

I did no writing all weekend. :titanic: I so need to work my ass off all week. Fortunately, #2 son is happy to just sit at the table with me and play computer games while I work. I :heart: him.

Off to work with me. What’s on your agenda this week?

A Couple Cool Things

Writing & Publishing, My Book Stuff

First, UNWRAPPED was chosen by the reviewers at ROMANCE REVIEWS TODAY as the Best Contemporary Erotic Romance of 2007! Isn’t that awesome? Thank you RRT! You can see all the winning books here at RRT’s Blog.

Second, NOTHING PERSONAL will release in print in June, and is available now for preorder on Amazon!

It was nothing personal, just a business arrangement.

Ryan McKay is a multi-millionaire with a problem. He needs a bride to fulfill terms of his grandfather’s will. Unfortunately, the one he chose just bailed on him and he’s hours away from losing his company. Enter Faith Lewis – his shy, devoted assistant. Ryan convinces Faith to step in and marry him, assuring her their marriage is merely a business deal. Ryan is certain he can keep this strictly impersonal. After all, he’s the product of a loveless marriage and for years has sealed his own heart in an icy stone. Despite Faith’s warmth, compassion and allure, he’s convinced he’s completely immune to her charms.

Faith will do anything for her boss, but marry him? The shy virgin sees herself as plain and unattractive, a product of a bitter mother who drummed it into her head that she wasn’t worthy of a man’s love. But she agrees to help Ryan fulfill the terms of his grandfather’s will, hoping she doesn’t lose her heart to him in the process.

But love rarely listens to logic, and what follows is anything but business.
