OMG, awesome AWESOME concert. We had such fun. I had no voice, couldn’t sing along, but I could dance. And it was a total blast. Nickelback didn’t sing the one song I LOVE from the new Dark Horse Album, so I’ve posted it in below. But they DID sing all my other favs, in addition to Highway to Hell (WOW is all I can say) and Friends in Low Places (hilarious!). Even the DH was rocking out with me.

Okay, now on to the post at hand. Today’s Saturday Snippet is supposed to be something humorous. This is taken from … Read more »

If you’ve ever been interested in learning how editors come up with back cover copy for books, head over to Romantic Reads today and check out the process. Editor Leah Hultenschmidt is taking readers through her process, and I have to admit, it’s very interesting. On top of that, she’s using my upcoming paranormal release – MARKED – (May, 2010) as her example. And I just LOVE what she came up with for the end result.

And if that weren’t awesome enough…I just received a FABULOUS cover quote for MARKED:

Quick Note…I’m home after my surgery. All went well, though I can’t talk for three days. It’s torture, I tell you. At this point we wait to see if this helps re-awaken the paralyzed vocal cord or not. Time will tell.

In the meantime, since I missed yesterday, I want to give a big shout-out to Bradford Babes who had releases. Cynthia Eden‘s IN THE DARK in BELONG TO THE NIGHT hit shelves yesterday!!

Publisher: Kensington Aphrodisia

These are from Friday night at the Powell’s book club event.

So after Friday night’s event I think I’m glad I’m having the vocal surgery. I talked more than I probably should have, but not more than any normal person. However, I was hating life later that night and the next day. My throat hurt, my voice sounded awful and the whole thing just reinforced my decision to get to the bottom of my vocal problem. I can’t go through life with this voice–not if I ever … Read more »

Check it out…STOLEN SEDUCTION is available for preorder on Amazon, complete with cover image and everything!

Last night was the Powell’s Cheeky Pages book club meeting. (Isn’t that title just great!) They read STOLEN FURY for their August book and invited me to come up and be part of the discussion. I have to say, I was a little nervous – all those people having read the book! – but it was very fun. Of course, everyone loved it (how could they not?! LOL) and there were some very nice comments that ranged from “This was better than the … Read more »

I think I have post-contest let-down. LOL After a month of whirlwind blog guests and giveaways, my measly posts feel rather boring.

Ah, well…

I mentioned below that I was in Montana all last week visiting family. My SIL (brilliant!) is an econ professor at the University of Montana in Missoula. My brother is going to grad school at Montana State in Bozeman. I, of course, didn’t realize they belonged to two different schools until my brother gave me an MSU sweatshirt that was too small for him and claimed his wife would never wear it. Quick, I am, I … Read more »
