Life in Motion, Writing & Publishing

First, Happy Birthday to #1 son, who turns 31 today! (Yeah, I was 7 when I had him. I’m very progressive that way).

Second, the sun is out, the snow is melting and it’s supposed to hit the 60’s today and the 70’s tomorrow. Thank you Mother Nature, for screwing with my weekend with that epic snowstorm. You finished now? I’d really like to start on my vegetable garden.

We signed up for the premium channels again just so I could watch The Pacific, a new series about World War II on HBO. Great new series by the way. But since we hadn’t had the premium channels in awhile I’ve been catching up with movies in the like (we got a good package deal so we got all the premium channels–bonus!). And Spartacus, on Starz, which is rather drool worthy with lots of yummy naked men. Hey, I’m only human. How am I supposed to resist all those naked guys, or as Biker Dude calls it–chick porn. Heh.

Watched Twilight the other night. That was interesting. Very teen angsty. And sparkly.

My Best Friends Girl was funny. So was Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I should tell you that I’m also very easily amused.

Anyway, on to writing. Working on trying to finish up The Perfect Game. You can see the blurb here. My goal is to finish the book by the end of this month, then write the followup book next month. Busy schedule this year so a lot of self flogging involved in maintaining a strict writing schedule. I try to set specific daily writing goals in order to finish a book. Deadlines are good for me, otherwise I flail around like a fish out of water, which isn’t pretty. A lot of gasping for air and looking ridiculous. Goals are better. I can breathe when I have goals.

Still waiting on the cover for Riding The NIght (AJ and Pax’s book). Doesn’t it just figure that Pax and AJ would make us wait? Will pop it on here as soon as it makes its appearance!

And that’s about as random as I’m getting today. Unless something else pops into my head, which is likely to happen.

Edited To Add: See? Something else to add. Head on over to awesome author Beth Kery’s Blog and let her know what your favorite erotic romance of 2009 was. There are prizes being given away!

Hope your week is sunny and snow free!

Nauti and Wild Release Date Change

My Book Stuff, Writing & Publishing

nauti-and-wild

Just wanted to let you all know that Nauti and Wild‘s release date has changed. It will now release on August 3rd, so mark your calendars.

Sometimes that happens in publishing for reasons I can’t explain, but it’s only a month later. But you know, not only does it contain one of my Wild Riders books, the totally awesomely talented Lora Leigh has one of her incredibly rockin’ Nauti stories in this book, so it’ll be worth the wait, right? :giggle:

And if you click here I now have an excerpt up of Riding The Edge, my Wild Rider’s story that will appear in Nauti and Wild. Wheeeee!

Blurb For THE PERFECT PLAY

Writing & Publishing

I never know whether to torture you early with blurbs for books that won’t be out for almost a year, or whether to wait awhile. This is the book I’m writing at the moment for Berkley Heat, and having tons of fun with these characters. I’m torturing them, they’re torturing me, so I figured I’d torture you, too. :giggle:

THE PERFECT PLAY. Berkley Heat. February, 2011

Football pro Mick Riley is an all-star, both on the field and in the bedroom. But a sexy, determinedly single mom just might be the one to throw him off his game…

For years Mick has been taking full advantage of the life available to a pro athlete: fame, fortune, and a different girl in every city. But when he meets and beds confident, beautiful event planner Tara Lincoln, he wants much more than the typical one-night stand. Too bad Tara’s not interested in getting to know football’s most notorious playboy any better.

As the single mother of a teenage son, the last thing Tara needs is the jet-set lifestyle of Mick Riley; even though their steamy and passionate one-night stand was unforgettable. Tara’s life is complicated enough without being thrust into the spotlight as Mick’s latest girl du jour. Tara played the game of love once and lost big, and she doesn’t intend to put herself out there again, especially with a heartbreaker like Mick.

But when Mick sets his mind to win, nothing will stop him. And he has the perfect play in mind.
