Love is in the Air

Gasp! So I've survived a hacker attack on my website, and a household move across town. The website is back up, and the boxes are almost all nearly unpacked. Time to get back into my routine!

Valentines Day is coming up very quickly! Does anyone have any big plans? Lord Lenox and I usually don't go out for V-day. We'll go out a day or two before (or sometimes after!) to celebrate, then on the Big Day we'll grill and watch a movie or some other low-key "date".

Even if you don't have a special someone right now in your life, I hope you'll do something special for YOURSELF! Me? I'm sure I'll gift myself with a couple of new books. Right now, I'm reading GAME OF THRONES, and really enjoying it. I've not watched any of the HBO series, but probably will when I'm done with the books.

Look in the next few days for me to post a couple of book covers for books I've got on my TO BE READ pile!

Summer!

Summer is over! The kids are back in school. Are you reading more books? Any favorites? If so, share them.

I just started reading THE NIGHT CIRCUS by Erin Morgenstern today. If you've read my book, DARKER THAN NIGHT, you know I'm a fan of dark, fantastical Victorian circuses! So far, I'm really enjoying the book and Ms. Morgenstern's wonderfully evocotive writing!

Be sure to visit my group blog, www.silkandshadows.com which after summer hiatus is blogging again.

This week, Jessa Slade is giving away a fantastic party pack of books! All you have to do is comment to enter!

Round Two

Here we go with the freezing weather again! I can hear the wind blowing against the chimney, and it's cold inside the house. I'm breaking out the fuzzy socks and making my favorite hot drink, and then I'll get some writing done.

Every day I have to have my morning coffee–2 cups! And I love black and green teas, but tonight's weather calls for a favorite, Mexican Hot Chocolate. Want some too? Here's how I make it.

Make your basic hot chocolate, whether from a packaged mix, cocoa powder/sugar or (my personal favorite) Mexican chocolate like Kekua or Popular. Tonight I'm making Kekua in a pot with 1% milk and Stevia.

Then add about a teaspoon (or more!) of vanilla, about 1/8 teaspoon (or more!) of cinnamon and a couple of shakes of chile powder. Mix well and enjoy! Marshmallows optional!

Cold much?

I live in Texas, and it is COLD today. Brrr! Not bad, compared to other places, but it's 29 degrees right now, and we've got icicles. That's rare for us, so we are watching movies (JAWS), eating popcorn, and having hot chocolate.

I'm also doing some research today for a manuscript I'm working on. One subject I'm looking at is fox hunting. I'm having to try and wrap myself around a sport that I, as an individual, wouldn't wish to participate in. On one hand, I'm fascinated by the horses, hounds, showmanship and tradition, I can't see myself wanting to pulverize a fox.

That's why I got such a kick out of this picture of a hound that adopted a fox, from the JaneAustensWorld blog. Aw! So cute.

Madly Writing

I'm madly writing today. It's only me, and the computer, and a fantastic story to write. WHEEEE! I've got a Tyler candle burning (favorite scent: Vintage), and sunlight streaming through the windows.

Oh, and Tango, who for whatever reason never wants affection until I'm at my desk at the computer. Here he is, sitting on my lap, across my arms.

I'm recently returned from the Romance Writers of America convention in steamy-hot Orlando Florida. I had a fantastic time hanging out with my awesome c...

Google-icious!

Hey there readers! I googled myself last night, something I haven't done in a very, very long time, and came across some great reviews! This one for NIGHT FALLS DARKLY from the ladies at Realms On Our Bookshelves.

Review of Night Falls Darkly

Holiday!

I'm sooooo ready for this holiday weekend! How about you?

Do you have any good books set aside for your weekend reading? Read anything fantastic lately that you'd like to recommend?

I've got plans to get a lot of writing in between now and Tuesday.

First thing in the morning, though, I'll be headed to the post office. If you are waiting for a prize package from me, you should have it by Tuesday or Wednesday. I apologize for the delay. I have admitted it before, and I'll admit it again: I am...
