Conferences, Guest Blogging & Other Stuff
The awesome Angela James blog, talking about the RWA National conference and my love hate relationship with it. I'm offering up one of my books if you comment, so head on over!
Also, if you're a writer and not at the conference this week,New York Times Bestselling Author Lynn Viehl is having a Left Behind & Loving It Workshop at her blog, Paperback Writer. She does this every year during the conference and trust me, she's brilliant and you don't want to miss what she has to say. Plus she puts up

Hey! I'm Still Here!
Apologies for neglecting my blog lately. Between family visits and rehabbing the Lab (who sheds hair in my house like damn and whoa) and the trip to Houston last week, and then trying to fit in some book writing time in there, it's been bizzzzeeeee! But hey, you can always find me on Twitter if you're so inclined to listen to my nonsense in 140 characters or less. (And really, tell me you dig the skull on my Twitter page. Does that rock or what?)
Anyway, thought I'd post a few pics from the books

Snippet Saturday!

Welcome to Snippet Saturday, where authors showcase bits and pieces of their work.
Today is Prologues. Some readers like prologues, some hate them. I like them. I like reading them, I like writing them. Providing they make sense and are necessary as far as setting the story up.
Probably one of the most integral prologues I've ever written was for THE DARKEST TOUCH, the 3rd book in my Demon Hunter series. This prologue was vital in not only bringing new readers current into the series, but also set

Welcome to Snippet Saturday, where a group of authors showcase pieces of their work.
Today we're doing Character meets Villain. I chose a scene from Riding Wild, where Lily meets one of the bad guys. She and the Wild Riders have a double cross in mind to keep a deadly virus from getting into the wrong hands. But things don't always go as planned and Lily has to think on her feet.
Hope you enjoy! And please check the bottom of this post for links to the other authors participating this week.

Nalini Singh's Branded By Fire
[image error]
Hailed by Christine Feehan as "a major new talent," New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh now brings together two fierce changelings in her most explosive story yet.
Though DarkRiver sentinel Mercy is feeling the pressure to mate, she savagely resists when Riley Kincaid, a lieutenant from the SnowDancer pack, tries to possess her. The problem is not simply that he pushes her buttons; the problem is that he's a wolf, she's a cat, and they're both used to being on top.
But when a brilliant

What's Your Dealbreaker?
Philandering husband and SC Governor Mark Sandford has been front and center in the news this past week, acknowledging having an affair with an Argentinian woman, and now admits to even more discretions. Oh but those didn't 'cross the line'. Um…right.
Anyway, I don't want to give the dickhead anymore press than he's already gotten. I was thinking about this, and about relationships, because hey, I spend the majority of every day writing about relationships, about the push/pull between a couple, a
