WARNING: FUN CONTENT AHEAD!
Launch day for RBAON was full of excitement and behind the scene scurrying to fix problems with the Comment button, but things will smooth out as time progresses.
Before I go any farther, I have two HUGE thank-you shout outs: to Patricia Lazarus, graphic designer and book cover artist extraordinaire who did the graphics and background for my site, and to my virtual assistant (!) My Girl Friday who made my fondest OCD wishes magically appear on the pages. You ladies ROCK!
Because I'm OCD, I have to work with a list, so here's my outline for what I'd like to do with Romance By Any Other Name to keep you coming back for more…
Besides random posts, I plan to have a loose (probably VERY loose) structure for content that goes like this:
All About Me Monday featuring photos, quotes, travels, report cards, jobs, organizations, what I'm watching/reading/crushing on at the moment.
Tips and Technique Tuesday with things for the writing professional on topics such as Social Media, virtual assistants, help corner, tech tools and traumas, writing tips, career paths, trends, idols, and polls.
WIP Wednesday dishing on current project updates, sneak peeks, character photos, reviews, and playlists.
Free PR Friday because what goes around, comes around, and there are a lot of folks out there who have been very generous to me. I'll be showcasing guest blogs, interviews with editors, agents, publishing professionals, and some of your favorite (and soon-to-be new favorite!) authors as well as a chance for them to, as we say in our MMRWA chapter, Toot Their Own Horns.
I take weekends off! That's when I do most of my writing and catch up on my Netflix (but I might be rethinking them). Like I said the above will be a loose outline so don't expect to see things posted like clockwork for a while, especially until release week is behind me.
So, what are you looking forward to on Romance By Any Other Name?

Welcome Fellow Writers and Readers!
I hope you'll find Romance . . . by Any Other Name a new place to gather for news, information, and fun!
To celebrate the launch of my blog . . . and the release of BOUND BY MOONLIGHT, the fourth book in my dark paranormal series for Pocket, I've decided to share the excitement with a mega contest . . . I'm giving away a Kindle (or if you already have one, a comparable Amazon.com gift certificate)! And you'll have fun working for it during a four-day scavenger hunt beginning on the release day of BOUND BY MOONLIGHT: July 26, 2011. There'll be daily prizes as well to keep you motivated. Go to my Contest page for details.
The upcoming weeks will be filled with places to go and prizes to win, so check back frequently to find out where I'll be (kind of a Where's Waldo Nancy? adventure!) for blog tours, Q&As, sneak peek excerpts, articles and . . . best of all, giveaways! I'm visiting some wonderful places so pack lightly, bring snacks, and get ready for the trip. I'll provide the GPS.
For GoodReads friends (maybe it's time you became a GoodReads member!), Pocket is helping me give away 10 copies of BOUND BY MOONLIGHT between July 18 and July 24. Winners will be announced here on July 25. Visit my Author Page on GoodReads for details.
Whew, I'm exhausted just thinking about all the things we'll be doing together!
Check in tomorrow for my overview of what you'll find here on R-BAON!

Happy Monday!
