The Week In Review

Note: I got halfway through this week in review and figured out today wasn’t Friday. It’s Thursday. That should tell you where my head is. Screw it–I’m doing it anyway.

I know I know my blogging here lately sucks dirty dishwater. But it’s deadline time. And I’ve reworked the storyline ARC and beaten the hell out of my heroine because she was a doormat. Now I’ve got it where I want it, so it’s just a matter of finishing it up. Which means I’m going to be head down and writing my ass off for the next few weeks. Ugh. I promise some semblance of normalcy will return soon. Whatever normal is around here.

Copyedits have arrived for Bound, Branded & Brazen. I’m excited because it’s another step in the process of having the book closer to being finished! Yay! I love these characters and I love this book. And March isn’t so far off. Hopefully soon I’ll have some digital ARCs to give out. :giggle:

New granddaughter should be arriving in a little over 2 weeks. I’m SO excited! Will keep you all posted. And of course will post pics when she’s here.

I was going to attend Lora Leigh’s Reader Appreciation Weekend and the Novelist’s Inc. conference back to back. But my daughter in law’s doctor said baby was head down and she really could deliver any time within the next couple weeks. The thought of being out of town and her going into labor was just unacceptable, so I cancelled both trips. I’m very sad about missing these two wonderful events, but had to put family first. I don’t want to miss the birth of my granddaughter.

The good news about me missing some awesome conferences is I have much guilt over it which means I’ll probably have to do some book giveaways here. Stay tuned.

Onto television:
New Fall TV Season is underway! Survivor premieres tonight! I’m excited!!!!

Have any of you watched Glee? What do you think? I’m liking it…not sure I’m loving it yet.

I have mad love for Sons of Anarchy. Mad, deep, abiding love. We may marry. (Don’t tell my husband)

The Biggest Loser started up again this week. I love watching this show. Jillian is an evil bitch taskmistress and I love her. Watching the way these overweight and out of shape people work out like firebreathing demons makes me feel like a pathetic slug. If this show doesn’t motivate you to get off your ass I don’t know what will.

What are you doing or reading or watching?

New Book Release!

holiday-heat-72-web

I’m pleased to announce the print release of HOLIDAY HEAT, an anthology from Samhain Publishing. This book contains UNRAVELED by me and SWEET CHARITY by my friend and awesomely talented author Lauren Dane.

Sweet Charity by Lauren Dane. Eight years after a horrible one night stand, Charity and Gabriel finally find themselves in bed again. Trouble is, he thinks she’s too nice a girl to accept his darker sexual urges, so he’ll only agree to a short term fling. Gabriel’s about to find out that even sweet girls have their limits.

Unraveled by Jaci Burton. Entrepreneur Mitch Magruder wants to buy old friend Greta Mason’s rundown motel. Greta loves the motel and intends to hang tight, despite the feelings between her and Mitch. Can a man afraid to commit and a woman bruised by the past find a love worth building a future on?
