Don't forget...

Tie a pink ribbon around your finger. Enter my tote bag giveaway in honor of breast cancer awareness month. Every day I pass the tote and every day I drop something in it. Who knows what'll be in that thing by the time I mail it. Original blog (and pic) here . Just follow me ----> (follow button is to the right) and say howdy on this blog or the original.

I have a snazzy pink ribbon pic but blogger is doing maintenance so you'll just have to just close our eyes and imagine it. And...go!

Look what I'm in!

How freaking cool is that? Look for it 2011 from the ladies at Oysters and Chocolate. Ole!

eyes and teeth, teeth and eyes...

I woke today with what felt like something in my eye. Like when you get an eyelash or whatnot up in there. I got up at 6.15. At 8.15 it was not better. In the doc's for the man's appointment it was not better. 11.15 it was not better. It was, in fact, driving me ape shit. I was so very good about not rubbing it but I really really wanted to rub it until it stopped hurting. Or popped out (o_O) Whichever came first.

I made an appointment. I had to have it checked. I have two main phobias. Teeth and eyes. Eyes and teeth! So I had to get it checked to make sure it was not infected, scratched or you know, going to shrivel up and fall out.

I also, just because it's fucking funny to admit, am terrified to knock out my two front teeth. I have had this phobia forever. Forever! To the point where if I stumble, especially on the sidewalk or concrete, I will shield my front teeth with my tongue (this is show you lunacy day, folks). Apparently, I'd rather bite my tongue in half than knock out my teeth.
Anyhoo, they tortured me. They lifted stuff (like my lids!) and put on Mr. Magoo space glasses and peered in my eyeball. They put drops in my eye and then used some freaky humming CSI blue light on me. Anyway, they see no scratches or infection or whatnot.

So now I have to go to an eye doctor tomorrow if it's not feeling better. The good news is I worked on two seperate books to keep myself distracted until my two o'clock appointment. I think i'm at four thousand words and counting.

But it was a day. Jeesh. Eyes and teeth, teeth and eyes. But I still have all four! My two front teeth and my eyes.

Sommerp.s. ironically, I am horribly allergic to spiders and have some scars from stitches courtesy of the little bastards and yet...not scared of them at all. That is, in fact, one of my favorite movies...ever!
p.p.s. And how was your day, friend?

forgive me...

the no makeup. This is me playing with boy child's camera to try and illustrate what a great score I made by accident the other day at the mall. Whilst playing chauffeur to the chitlins I stumbled over the most perfect sweater in the most perfect shade of blue-red. I was embarrassingly (to girl child) giddy in the store when I found it.

I have been obsessed with a) red and b) hoods and yes, c) wolves since working on Base Nature last year. I had many an entry at my old blog singing the praises of red hooded items. And there it was. The holy grail of sweaters.
So here here is photographic evidence and behind me what do you see? My beloved penguin Chuck from last Mother's Day gift! Anyway, sorry I didn't put makeup on you but behold...the sweater.

Fierce!

Okay so Allure's bobcat shifter May isn't so much fierce as she is fetching, but her little tale has garnered some nifty reviews. So here goes:
HEA Reviews gave a nice three cup review here. And Romance Writers Reviews gave it four stars here. Plus I have two super nice reader ratings on EC's site. Reader's reviews touch my cockles (of my heart!) in a special way. Which is a klutzy but efficient segue into this which I stumbled over the other day...

A super nice reader write up for my story Strawberry (a December Ink release). Woo and also hoo and thank you to all my readers. You rock my world. ;)

p.s. and while you're here, don't forget to say howdy and follow me for a chance to win that fancy pants tote you see below. Look below! (on this blog, not yourself). Happy Saturday!

I love boobies!

Big, small, black, white, male, female....healthy. Breast cancer is a cancer that can effect all walks of life. Old, young, grumpy, happy, female and yes, male. All you need is breast tissue to get breast cancer and it's something we all have.
I recently ordered several totes from Avon (I have a fab Avon lady. i call her Mom) that were too cute to pass up. All the proceeds go to breast cancer. And since I know several spectacular kick ass women who have battled and beaten breast cancer (yay them!) oops, look at me, I bought an extra. And I wanna give one away at the end of October.

What do you have to do? Oh...say hi and follow my blog (handy dandy way to do that to your --> right). And spread the word about my giveaway. I'd like to meet some new folks, get some new followers and give away a nifty tote. I might even stuff something in it. You know me, I like when things are um...stuffed.

I'm thrilled...

to be working on my mainstream project again. The project formerly known as BSP is now known as what I'm working on. I have high hopes for it, and either way, no matter how it flies, I love it. And I love this print. I think when I'm done, I might have to snag it to put on my wall. Did I ever mention I have a media wall with a trinket for just about every book I've written? I'll have to take a picture some day.
So, I'm stepping back from zee pr0n for a few weeks. Wish me luck! I'll still be here, it's just my work project won't be so dirty. Or not as it stands right now. I mean, we are talking about me, after all. Anything could happen. LOL

I'm shooting off my mouth

...over at The Self Publishing Revolution Blog. Step number two in what I like to think of as the top rules for self publishing. The goal is for new self pubbing authors to learn from the mistakes of the established ones. At least that's my goal! #2 Think It Through, Genius is up now!

Happy hump day, happy 13th, happy, happy!

Vibratey!

I'm so happy! This fab review was given to one of my favorite books ever by the lovely Lucy Felthouse (author, reviewer and ringleader over at erotica for all). Here's a little bit:

Calendar Girl is an absolutely fabulous book. As I said, it had me laughing on a regular basis, but it also had me feeling frisky, too. It is the perfect mix of engaging storyline, likeable characters, smoking-hot sex and light-hearted fun. I can't recommend this enough.

I'm thrilled beyond belief because Calender Girl truly is special to me and I think I had more fun writing that book than any other before. When all was said and done and submitted I missed spending my days with Merritt and Jeffrey and Penn and yes...even moms.

Full review can be read here. Thanks to Lucy for taking the time to read me!

XOXO
