Rocking Parapalooza Day 2

Wow. You guys ROCKED again today, and there's so much I want to say that I have to do an entire post in between the posts.

Okay, first off, so many people wanted to help other people. I love that. You guys are awesome!

Now to Robert, whom I believe said he'll "maybe put someone else in charge. Cats, I think." I wanted to let you know that I believe the cats are already secretly in charge. I checked with Mercutio, and he confirmed it. (Also, this topic of cats ruling the world will be covered a bit

PARAPALOOZA - Day 2

Southern Witch series - Quote of the Day:
"I don't know why people pay for rental cars when so many friends and family members just leave their keys lying around unattended." ~ Tammy Jo Trask, whose car is often misplaced.

NYT bestselling author Nina Bangs writes awesome sexy, funny paranormal romances, but she didn't always know that she would become a writer. When asked in an interview what she wanted to be when she grew up, she said:
"I wasn't so practical when I was young. I wanted to ride

Gerry Bartlett writes a terrific humorous paranormal series featuring a beautiful full-figured vampire. Here's what Gerry has to say about becoming one of the undead herself...
Since you write about vampires, if you had the choice, would you want to be one?

"Lots to consider here. First, my heroine, Glory St. Clair, was turned when she had a few extra pounds to lose and then she was

Parapalooza in 2 days!

While I was busy writing the next book in the series, the Barely Bewitched release date (September 1st) was lurking around the corner and is now ready to pounce like a cat...well like an ocelot. In Book 2 of the Southern Witch series, Tammy Jo Trask returns with bigger adventures, more romance, and much bigger hair. Texas-sized hair extensions, you ask? Why no. It's magic. Well, a magical cover artist anyway. Maybe he'd like to work in Duvall at Johnny's hair salon. I'll have to check with Berkl

Keeping It Weird in Austin

Do you know Austin, Texas's unofficial slogan?

I love that! Love it, and it fits. There's a guy selling cupcakes out of a trailer in the middle of an empty lot. There's bat-watching from the bridge (I swear those rabies shots are totally painless), and I've spotted some twenty-somethings sporting dreadlocks, making me wonder just what they and Robert Pattinson have against combing their hair. (Not that I'm anti-Pattinson. I just liked his hair better in Goblet, you know?)

Anyway, I'm going to try

The Soap Lady

Today I was at a presentation for writers, and the presenter was sharing anecdotes. She mentioned that for a time there was a rather prolific reader who devoured romance novels and, if she found any profanity in a story, would write a letter to the author threatening to send them a bar of soap to wash out their mouths.

At today's presentation, there were a couple of published authors in the audience who had received these poisoned pen letters. But it has apparently been some time since anyone h

Tammy's First Kiss

My friend TJ Bennett asked me to do a guest blog spot over at her place, and each month she does a theme. This month it's "This Kiss, This Kiss" of Faith Hill fame. Since I knew the story of Tammy Jo's first kiss, I decided to write it. (Because the passage was a bit to long, I cut it down and the original longer version will be published on my website at some future date.)

For now though, for an exclusive look at the excerpted first kiss scene (and for a chance to win a copy of Would-Be Witch),

Mercutio approves new book in series...

Okay, today is crazy, but I had to take a brief moment to announce the big news in the Southern Witch world. I've accepted an offer to write a third book in the series. It's tentatively-titled, Halfway Hexed. Tammy Jo and Mercutio have sent word that they're on-board, which is, of course, crucial. I couldn't do it without them. ;)

More news, when I stop celebrating.

Hugs,
Kimber

LOLkimber on Saturday

I woke up horrifically early today and saw the trailer for Bruno. There's a moment where he's on a talk show explaining how he swapped an ipod for a baby. Between his earnest delivery and the audience reaction...yep. LOL
And I learned a new term from my often hilarious younger brother. "Emo" He made me promise to watch an Emo Xmas video. And yes, me again...LOLing. Black comedy. It does work.
