WIPs and Chains

Although my WIP was going great, I got distracted this week. It happened when I decided to make a list of what I want to accomplish during my upcoming 4 week vacation from the day job. I love making lists. Packing lists, shopping lists, To Do lists. Sometimes I even make a To Do list after I'm done the tasks, just so I can have the satisfaction of crossing them off the list. Okay, enough about my OCD tendencies.

So I made my list. One of the things on the list was to polish my manuscript for ...

Friday sneak peak

This is from a story I'm polishing up now getting ready to submit. It's called Crazy Ever After.



"Okay, don't think about it." He clenched his jaw, his entire body tight with restraint. "Don't ever think that someone else might know something you don't. Don't think about anyone's feelings but your own. I know you were spoiled rotten. Hell, teenagers are supposed to be self-centered. But by your age you'd think you'd have a bit more empathy, that you'd know that life isn't all black and white."...

What I'm Reading Wednesday

Edited to add:  I don't know why this didn't post on Wednesday! But I guess Thursday night is better than never!
Wait 'till you see this list! An interesting week!

For pleasure (mostly) reading, I finished What I Did for Love by Susan Elizabeth Phillips and since I quite liked it and I was at the library and they had her book Natural Born Charmer, I checked it out. And I read it too. More of that bantering dialogue which I guess is her style. Aaand since I enjoyed that book, I downloaded Glitte...

Apologies!

I'm in the process of getting a new website, professionally designed (the blog is already changed so you can already see how the new website is going to look (beautiful!) However I'm also changing hosts and for a few days my website is unavailable. This HAD to happen right when the Nine Naughty Novelists are starting our scavenger hunt - so I'm sorry to everyone who tries to go to my website and it's not there! You can find the answer to my question here and rest assured if you send in an ent...

What I'm Reading Wednesday

I finished Strip Search by Shayla Black aka Shelley Bradley. I really enjoyed this story though I did want to give Mark a smack at one point but then every good hero needs a little smack once in a while when he's being a stubborn male!

I had all these great books loaded on my Sony reader and then by chance I happened upon a new release by my FAVOURITE AUTHOR Marian Keyes. So sorry everyone else, she moved to the top of the list with The Brightest Star in the Sky. I've started it and can't quit...

Nine Naughty Novelists - contest!

The Naughty Nine have launched our new blog and to help celebrate we're having a scavenger hunt starting today!

Extreme Close Up Chapter 18

Jack sat there, feeling like a fucking idiot. How could he have done that?
Not minutes after his friend had left, he'd kissed his ex-girlfriend. What a low life scum he was.
He leaned back and covered his face with his hands. Ah, man. He should never have come here. Of course, he'd thought they were still together when he'd arrived. But as soon as he'd found out they weren't, he shouldn't have agreed to stay with Ally.
Not only were his feelings for Ally still alive and well...he'd ...

What I'm Reading Wednesday

First of all I have to have a small rant. WTF HAPPENED TO MY SONY READER? I turned it on yesterday and it took a moment, saying "formatting". Then when I went into a book I recently read, ALL THE BOOKMARKS WERE GONE! I haven't looked at every book on it, but randomly checking some - NO BOOKMARKS!!! All my favorite passages - gone! Well, they're still there, but in an ereader it's not as easy as flipping through paper pages to find them. Grrrr. Not. Happy.

Anyhoo.

I finished Songbird by Maya Ban...

SEXPRESSO NIGHT - coming soon!

Here's the trailer
