Winter can be over…
any time now. I’m tired of it and the cold. Of course, I hate cold weather anyway, so I get annoyed by it very easily…lol. Just really hate driving in it.
Working on various stories…and made some good progress on them. It’s always nice to see a story reaching the end, though it’s sad to say good-bye to the characters because I fall in love with each other (a little) as I bring them into being.
Well, it’s time to start my day job….so I hope you all have a wonderful and safe Monday. Hopefully, you’re warm wherever you are.
Snowy Friday
Darn it…I was hoping my boss would close for the day, so I didn’t have to navigate the bad roads and crazy drivers who believe that four wheel drive and a truck makes them invincible. *shakes head* Idiots. Those are the ones I tend to wave at as I drive past and they’re stuck in a ditch…lol. (I might be a little vindictive.)
Writing is going well. Getting stuff accomplished, but nothing’s close to be finished yet. I’m getting there though. Hopefully, I’ll get a good amount done this weekend. 🙂 Just have to figure out which one to work on.
Have a great Friday and a safe weekend. Stay warm.

It just so happens that I only had two releases at Liquid Silver last year and both are in the top three on the list. Yay! Also, With This Ring is still hanging around on Samhain’s best seller list at #4. It got to #3 before falling, but still that’s awesome. 🙂
Oh and aren’t those boys so pretty? lol
I hope you all have a great Wednesday. I know I will.
Happy New Year…
Wow…where did 2009 go?
It turned out to be a good year for me after all. I had thirteen books released this past year. And I also wrote thirteen books for a total of over 400,000 words. Yay! Best writing year, word wise, ever. 🙂
We have a break this month since I don’t have a book coming out, but starting in Feb. I have four books out in three months. That’s always a good way to start the year off right.
I did some writing on Deviants, but I also worked on Out of Light into Darkness, which is the book I’ll hopefully finish next…or it’ll be the first book finished in 2010.
I hope you all had a great holiday and have a marvelous 2010.
Happy Hunk Day
Okay, so I was over at my favorite place to snag pictures of gorgeous men, Beautiful. (If you do stop by there, remember it’s not Work friendly…just saying…lol) Anyway, they had several photos of these two together and I fell in love with them. They might look young, but, boy, are they pretty. So you’ll probably see them in a few pictures I post. There are two with them in suits that scream story. I’ll definitely be using them as inspiration. 🙂
Let’s see….Thank you to everyone who bought With This Ring so far. It’s at #4 on Samhain’s bestseller list, which thrills me to no end. Considering I’m sharing my release day with Jess Dee, Annamarie McKenna, Mary Hughs, and Charlene Teglia. All of us made it on the bestseller lists. Go us! 🙂
I’m giving myself a slight vacation. Instead of working on stories that I know I need to write (though none of them are contracted), I’m working on a story close to my heart and one that has been rattling around my head for quite a while now. I’ve always had other books that needed to be written (sequels mostly) that I’ve never had time to get to it. Well, I set this week between Christmas and New Year’s to see how far I can get on it. Once the new year begins, I’ll get back to writing the stories/sequels I need to get done. I can give you the title: Deviants Wore Pink
I hope you all have a great Wednesday. 🙂
Happy Christmas Eve Eve..
Yep..two more sleeps before Christmas. I still have to wrap the presents I picked up. Guess that’s what I’ll be doing tonight. 🙂
I finished another story..or so I thought. Now that I’ve had the night to think about it, I’ll be adding another chapter or two to it. One of the other stories I was working on, I ended up changing a little, simply because it wasn’t flowing the way it was. Changed things up and it’s really speeding along. Yay!
I was discussing stuff with some people yesterday and I realized that with all my releases this year, I’ve had 13 books out. Wow…I never thought I’d have that many in one year. It was a great year for me. Of course, then I got counting and I realized that I already have eight books scheduled for release in 2010. Woot! All I need are five more and I’ll hit my total for this year. Should I try to have at least one more book out next year than I did this year? That would be awesome, though you all might get tired of my books coming out every month. 😀
I hope you all have a great Wednesday.
Four more sleeps….
before Christmas. I thought I’d give you some nice material for your dreams. 🙂
Well, I got most of my shopping done over the weekend. Have to go out tonight and finish up, but it won’t be bad.
Did some writing. Not a lot, so I’ll have work on my story this week which might be possible since we’re not that busy at work at the moment. Maybe I can sneak in some writing at the evil day job.
I hope you all have a great Monday.
Another Friday
There’s a story in this picture. Just have to wait for it to come to me…lol.
Nothing new to report. Writing is going well. I’m hoping to get another story finished by the end of the weekend. 🙂 Yay! This particular story has been flowing well for me, so I’m going with it instead of fighting.
I hope you all have a great day and wonderful weekend.
Happy Wednesday
Is everyone surviving the mad rush to Christmas? lol. I’m doing all right, just have to go out this weekend and finish up my shopping. Ugh! I really don’t like malls at the normal time of the year. I really don’t have any patience for them during this time. But I try not to get frustrated or anything. Just take my time and not get in a hurry.
Writing is going well. I’m hoping to get another story done by this weekend. Then I’ll see if I can finish another by the end of the month. We’ll have to see. Depends on how busy I get next week. 🙂
Hope you all have a great Wednesday.
Contest…
No, you don’t get to win this gorgeous man. You get a chance to win a Kindle pre-loaded with some great Samhain authors. 🙂 If you run over to my editor’s blog, and answer the question, you’ll be entered in to win. Trust me, if you’re a regular visitor to my blog, you’ll know the answer without any problem. Also, I did a little interview for the contest as well, so you can learn some new things about me.
Oh, I got the cover for Freaks in Love and it’s awesome. I’ll share it with you all on Monday. I think Trace did another marvelous job.
Hmmm…what else? Writing is going well. I’m making progress on some different stories and that makes me happy.
I hope you all have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend.
