[stomp*clap*whistle!]

First review is in and it is good! Happily Ever After Reviews gave Coupling four tea cups. Very, very happy. Here's a tiny sip of the review:

Coupling: Filthy Erotica for Couples edited by Sommer Marsden has very erotic and interesting short stories by different authors. For example you have Alison Tyler , Jeremy Edwards , Alison Seay and more. These erotic short stories are very interesting because there are a couple that I would have not thought about, one in particular which I will share a little of.

One story that I will describe to you, the reader, is about a couple Cameron and Charlotte, The Clothes Make The Man by Emilie Paris...read full review.

Yay! I'm so pleased I believe I might have sparks shooting out of my fingertips. Woop!

Thinking Caps...On!

The man and I were watching Paranormal State last night (thank you football the Amazing Race was super late! :P ( not that I do not love football. I'd just like them to finish on time.))

Anyhoo, something was said that bang! zoom! gave me a full blown plot in about thirty seconds. A whole book--novel length. (This will have to go third in my mental novel lineup). I have the characters, the scenario, the premise, the idea, the feel, tone yar yar yar. What I do not have is the title.

I basically need a title that means "linked" but don't want to use that word. So um...help. Anyone have any great ideas? If you give me a suggestion and I use it, I might send you a goodie (if you're receptive) and I will totally thank you in the dedication.

Back to proofreading. I am slow today. Like a snail. Or a turtle. Or me trying to run two miles.

XOXO

A Spanking Good

and happy birthday to Willsin Rowe! Today 10-10-10 is his birthday which I think means he has some kind of magical powers or something. I think he can fly, or maybe melt things with his mind. Here's hoping his day was as great as he is!

spooky good mood

from decorating for Halloween and watching the girlies (girl child and niece) decorate my front porch, yard and tree in festive bone and blood decor. So I've put all paranormal titles on ARe and Bookstrand on sale for 50% off until Halloween! Fifty percent off. That is so cheap it's nearly...frightening.

Just ordered these from Sock Dreams. In deep red and natural. Oh. My. God.

100% True...Sadly

My mother recently started working from home. She, like so many before her, thought it would be easy breezy lemon squeezy. You are home. You can do homeish stuff and workish stuff and there will be birds and flowers and flutes will be playing...

Um. What no one tells you is the work/home/crossover/world's collide (jerry!) phenomenon. Phenomena? Issue!

There is a fine line you must balance and walk and if you are like me you fall off that friggin line often and then you have no idea what you are doing and you forget everything, but somehow (aliens, i think) come the end of the day you have gotten a lot done though you feel as if you have accomplished zero.

So here has been my day thus far. I have what I call dumb dog syndrome. Or you can call it the world's shortest attention span. Or you can just call me Sommer.~

Get up, stagger out of bed, cook breakfast for the chitlins and then put the coffee on.Check emails.Remind children of everything they must take/do/remember/etc todayCheck emailsLast child leaves. Have answered all emails. Start errata.Drink more coffee.Walk dog(so far so good!)Get dressed. Lose glasses. Find glasses. Lose glasses. Lose book. Find book. Am I dressed yet?Go to parental units house to check plants and make sure all is well (they are away for a day or two).Did I lock their door? Did I? Did I? check door about 64 more times and then get in car and leave.Where am I going? Oh! Store. Right.Go to store for cream cheese, soda, toothbrushes and sausageGet: all of the above and pineapple, gluten free cake mix, vanilla pudding, pop tarts, apples, ice cream, pizza, munchos. plan to make pineapple cake. do not forget cool whip!Get home. No fucking cool whip. damn.Wash hands because is cold and flu season. Oh! decide to make saline solution and put out swabs and order children every day to swab noses. (something I started doing last year.Made the solutionHmm..need swabs. Go upstairs.Should open the windows. Is cold and flu season after all. Go in boy child's room and open window. what is that smell? Cannot find smell. Leave.Go in girl's room. Open window. Wonder at what level messiness condones condemning a room. Leave fast.Go back downstairs, happy to have opened windows. Oops. No swabs!Back upstairs.Oh! have to pee (pee pee pee...hey, I stole a soda from my parents' house. butt out).Notice the trash can in the bathroom is full. Empty trash can. Empty bedroom trash can. Bring trash down.Damn! Still no swabs. Back up. Get the fucking swabs! Finally!Down. Swab own nose. Wash hands. Realize I just took like twenty minutes to do something that should have taken me 20 seconds.
Aliens. I'm telling you.And now this blog...Goal for the day: errata. How much is done? 15 pages.

Working from home. Priceless.

[wolf whistle!]

It's out! It'soutit'soutit'sout...! My brand new paranormal quickie Allure is out today. There's a shifter and hormones and running and a squirrel and a phone booth and...*gasp*...and what could be a very interesting date and...well, read the blurb here. I love May so much. She is my favorite shifter girl I've ever written. And let's just say, Chase ain't nothing to sneeze at either.

Woohooo!
