Snippet Saturday – Lost Loves

Morning Loverlies,

Whoa! What? I know! A blog post at Casa Chez Emma's on a Saturday. It's okay, just sit back in enjoy it. I'm participating in Snippet Saturday, hosted by the totally kick ass Lauren Dane . Today's theme is Lost Loves and I've chosen an excerpt from Make Me Remember, my upcoming novella from Ellora's Cave.

MAKE ME REMEMBER

Hannah Bryant has always been different.

Since she was a child, she's had vivid dreams of dreams of death and loss. It's years later and Hannah is now a ...

Keeping up & Catching Up…

Morning Loverlies,

Le sigh. Yes, I started this post with a Le sigh. I'm feeling humans again. There was a moment or two when I thought I was turning into a seal because of all of the barking I was doing. Seriously, the cough I have/had totally kicked my ass but thank the good Lord it didn't turn into pnuemonia. I'm not ready to go back to California yet but a bout of pnuemonia definitely would have cut this trip short.

So during the past nearly two weeks I haven't done much other than sleep a...

Music & Excerpt Monday: Emma's 2 for 1 Special

Morning Loverlies,

This is a drive by post. I'm still recovering from Bronchitis. I should be up and ready to go soon hopefully. So today's Music Monday is one of my favorite songs by Patti Loveless, Here I Am. AND you also get an EXCERPT Monday.

They'd always been there for each other…

until a moment of comfort turned into something neither of them were prepared for.

Five years later tragedy has brought Jenny Gardner back home to Parsons' Pass and the man she walked away from.

Jenny's read to ...

Music & Excerpt Monday: Emma's 2 for 1 Special

Morning Loverlies,

It's a beautiful Monday morning and Emma has a 2 for 1 special for you. Music Monday AND EXCERPT Monday. You get a glimpse of a never before seen scene (hehe) from Reign of Pleasure. And you can only see it here. WOOT! WOOT! I don't have a release day yet for ROP but keep a look out. Today's Music Monday pick is Lithium by Evanescence. It totally fits this scene.

Ooooh! Almost forgot! The winner of our Dick Mr. Right in a Box is our very own Rob Thurman! Woot! Woot! Email me ...

Flashback Fridays: Not a dick in a box but the next best thing (Comment & Win)

Morning Loverlies,

It's a quite lovely Friday. The sun is shining. The snow is melting and I'll soon be off on a weekend advenuture. Do any of these adventurous plans include Valentine's Day? No, children, because Emma hates the VD, hates it like the kind of VD you'd need a shot of penicillan to get rid of. But it hadn't always been that way. When I was a little girl (and what an adorable little girl) I LOVED Valentine's Day. My mom would take me shopping for Valentine's, not like the major...

I don't believe this. RIP Alexander McQueen

Dear Alexander,

I am hoping this is just some horrific distasteful joke. Just the other week Mark Henry and I were talking about you and I was looking at your Tweets. And today someone says you're gone. I don't know you. Never met you before a day in my life yet…I have so many conflicting emotions about this news. I'm crushed. My heart aches in a way that is neither logical or rational because technically this shouldn't have such an impact on me because…I didn't know you.

I'll be honest. I'm...

Coming Soon: Branded, Everyone has a first

Good Morning Loverlies,

I'm heading out soon, to walk, do lunch and shop. I usually take Mondays off but you know how it is, the best laid plans and all. It's Tuesday and I know you guys are looking around and wondering who Emma's doing today. Well, no one. Decided I have entirely too little time and too much work to do Emma Does Authors every week. I know you're disappointed but don't worry you won't have to wait long for our next guests.

Anywho, lovelies, some of you who have been reading me ...

WTFriday: The one where Mark Henry traumatizes Emma Petersen (Rob Thurman Edition 1.0)

Moooooorning Loverlies!

Ooooh children, Emma has been so busy. Seriously, I worked my ass off yesterday and it was all for you children. All so I can make sure you have reasonably priced books to read. But that's not what we're discussing today. You see the title lovies? Yes, today is a What The Fuck Friday post and its going to be chalk full of fuckery.

So those that know me, know I am recovering from a debilitating and completely irrational fear of zombies. Seriously, there was nothing that ...
