Hey, everyone!  I’ve been working very hard at the day-job the past couple of weeks, so I am very pleased to have the opportunity to introduce you to another guest author!  If you like your romance grounded in pure fantasy, you definitely want to check out D. R. Grady’s new release, which is out this week!  And if you’re a dragon fan like me, then you definitely need to check out The Dragon Chronicles: Learning. The Dragon Chronicles: Learning Blurb Peace has reigned for so

That is very much what my front yard looked like two days ago.  At last!  Here in our neck of the woods, we’ve mostly had just little teases of snow this year–an inch or two here, a dusting there–so I’ve been very disappointed, since we had such a fantastic winter last year.  But Thursday when I headed to my awesome new job for the fourth time, it was already snowing, just lightly, but it was already coating the ground.  By the time I left work Thursday afternoon, there was a

I thought maybe you’d like to see a little bit of Hunting Medusa, and what better way than to play in this fun blog hop?  Six paragraphs of story…just a tease. ———- “I need a pair of scissors.” She didn’t know what had made her say it, but she did need them. Very badly. She knew she couldn’t trust him, and nothing he could do would change that. But she could pretend for the sake of getting the scissors. He considered for a moment, his fingertip grazing the side of her hand. “

Okay, so I’m not sure that I’m actually happy it’s the end of January, especially since we’ve still only had a little snow here–nothing more than a couple of inches at a time.  After actually having a real winter for a change last year, this year is very disappointing so far. My main purpose in this quick post tonight is to let you all know I have a guest blog post up at Limecello’s A Little Bit Tart, A Little Bit Sweet today to finish off her blogiversary celebration.  I’m t

Hi, everyone!  I’m so happy to get to introduce you to my guest blogger today: Kryssie Fortune.  She has a new release out this week, and she’s going to tell you all a little bit about it.  Enjoy! ————- King Henry 1 of England founded the Knights Defender to protect his itinerant justices, but the order grew into a pan-European order of crusader knights. Renowned for protecting the innocent and upholding the law, the Knights Defender were respected by all. But they had a dark

I’ve been very lucky lately to have some great ladies guesting here, and today we have another: Sara Ellwood, with a snippet from the first book in her ‘Colton Gamblers’ series!  She’s sharing a little about herself and her story, and I can’t wait to read more of it.  I just love a wounded hero. ———— Gambling On A Secret Book 1 of The Colton Gamblers…. In anticipation of the June release of Book 3: Gambling On A Dream, Kensington Publishing has put Book 1: Gambling On A Sec

I’m excited to share a hot new release with you today!  Jane Leopold Quinn’s The Real Deal came out yesterday from Ellora’s Cave. Jane very kindly sent us a little snippet of story, and some details that will definitely pique your interest.  I know I need to read more! ———- The Real Deal The Second Birchwood Falls Book by Jane Leopold Quinn Ellora’s Cave Blurb: When her fiancé is busted at a gentlemen’s club, Norah Ballard calls off the wedding. Shocked and humiliated, she

Wooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooo! Yes, I am excited.  Just a tad.  Okay, more than a tad. Today is the day Hunting Medusa comes out in paperback!  Maybe it’s silly that I’m just as excited as I was when the ebook was released last January, but I don’t care.  There were days over the last decade when I thought I would never see this day, so I’m going to enjoy it. And while I’m enjoying it, I have goodies to share with readers!  I’m hosting a Paperback Release Day party over on

This is very similar to the way things will look in my world for the next month since my day-job is in retail.  My coworkers and I will grin and bear it when we really want to run, screaming, from the building, and in my ‘down time’, I will keep working on these rewrites from hell, as well as prepping for the January 6 paperback release of Hunting Medusa.  I have started a nice little collection of goodies for the release day party over on my Facebook page. Today, as a procra

Mostly my current laziness is because there is some sort of ick making the rounds in our household.  My eldest started it, then shared with me, and now my husband has it, too.  Hopefully my youngest can avoid it.  I’ve reached the coughing-like-I’m-trying-to-hack-up-a-lung stage, and it could stop anytime.  The rest of my laziness isn’t really laziness, I suppose, but frustration with rewrites and the evil day job which makes me brain-dead by the end of each shift.  I’ve been

Considering just how much I normally despise summer, this year, it’s been a fairly decent season here.  I am so not a fan of the hot and sticky that is the norm in our area that summer is generally my least-favorite season.  I prefer spring or fall, when it’s cooler, either when the garden is just coming to life, pretty flowers blooming, or the changing colors of the leaves on the trees that normally signals cooler days and nights. I have been keeping my head down and myself

So today is my wedding anniversary.  I’m not sure how twenty years have gone by so quickly, but that’s where we are today.  Some years, I try to coordinate gifts with those lists you can find that tell you what is associated with each year.  Other years, it’s nearly impossible to do that.  I mean, lace for the thirteenth year is all well and good for a man buying for his wife, but lace for the husband? Um, probably not.  This year, according to the chart I use most often, sho
