Writing and Seeing and Bike Things

General Stuff, Writing & Publishing, 70 Days of Sweat Writing Challenge

Finally I’m only working on one project! I can’t tell you how happy this makes me. Digging into RIDING TEMPTATION without distraction has really helped me crank out the pages the past couple days. Which is a damn good thing because I have exactly 66 days left to finish this book.

Ack. I wish I hadn’t done that calcuation. :chair:

In other news, I’m trying contact lenses again. I tried them before, unsuccessfully, for about six months, before giving up and going back to glasses. I really want them to work this time because when we ride the Harley I can’t wear my glasses, hence can’t see a damn thing. Yes, I could get prescription bike goggles, but we’ll try the contacts first.

Right now my eyes itch and hurt and everything is blurry. So it’s going very well. :loser:

Maybe I’ll end up doing like Carly Phillips suggested and just get several pairs of cool glasses so I can change them according to my mood. We’ll see.

This weekend we’re going to ride in Tulsa’s Boo Ha Ha parade. We bought scary biker masks, which are actually face covers to keep our faces warm. But truly, you should see Biker Dude’s skeleton mask. I must take pics. :giggle:

What’s up for your weekend?

Update

70 Days of Sweat Writing Challenge, Writing & Publishing

Finished revisions for THE DEMON’S TOUCH and shipped those off to my editor! :boobie:

Five minutes later, Fedex delivered galleys for RIDING WILD. 😥

I swear, the fates are conspiring against me on this 70 Days of Sweat writing challenge.

I’ve spent the past two days reviewing galleys. I’m going to finish them today, no matter what.

Then I’m going to write my book. Nothing is going to get in my way. N-O-T-H-I-N-G.

Jessie and Diaz are getting impatient. I don’t blame them. There’s loads of sexual tension in RIDING TEMPTATION and I can’t wait to get back to it. :bat:

In other news related to my Wild Riders series, my editor and I brainstormed titles for the third book, and the working title for it is RIDING ON INSTINCT, tentative release April 2009. So here’s the series so far:

RIDING WILD-FEB 2008
RIDING TEMPTATION-OCT 2008
RIDING ON INSTINCT-APR 2009

I’m so excited about my Harley riding bad boys! Can’t wait for y’all to meet them!

Back to galleys for me now. :whip:

New Cover!

Books, Writing & Publishing

UNWRAPPED is my Samhain Christmas story, but this one takes place in Hawaii so the cover is absolutely perfect! Isn’t it gorgeous? (Thank you Scott…and Angie! :heart:)

Here’s the blurb:

When Justin Garrett accidentally views Amy Parker’s private online journal, he sees the cold corporate exec in a brand new light. It seems the icy, unapproachable Amy has fantasies. Fantasies that both appall and intrigue her.

No one knows the real Amy Parker, and she’s satisfied to keep it that way. A woman with kinky tastes wouldn’t cut it in the straight-laced law firm where she’s fought her way to partnership. And she certainly refuses to let a man younger than her use her to advance in the firm. Justin Garrett might be brilliant, gorgeous and sexy as hell, but he’s firmly implanted in her fantasies and that’s where he’ll stay.

While working together on a corporate acquisition in Hawaii over the Christmas holidays, Justin sets out to make Amy’s dreams come true. But first he has to warm her frosty heart and show her that he’s interested in her as a woman, not as a way to advance his career. By giving her exactly what she’s always wished for—a night of passion with two men who adore her—he hopes to climb right into her heart. And he knows the ideal other man to help unwrap the perfect Christmas gift for Amy.

UNWRAPPED releases December 4th at Samhain Publishing!
