Crowdsourcing My Shoes

I've got at least two outdoor weddings this summer, which means exactly one thing: espadrilles. And since I live in the boonies, I do most of my shopping online and now I have piles of shoe boxes filled with black patent leather strappy espadrille wedge sandals, and I need to narrow it down to just one! Yikes.

After a lot of wandering around my house in hiked-up pajama pants and fancy heels, I've got the choices down to a final three. I'm hoping you, my dedicated readers/shoe lovers, can help ...

Blog Tour: Two for the Price of One!

This should have happened yesterday, so I could've called the post Twofer Tuesday! That's me, a day late and a dollar short. Sigh.

But really, who cares what I call it, because what I've got for you today is two very different blog posts, and two different chances to win fantastic prizes!

One is a post about the most unexpectedly romantic meal of my life, and the other is a super fun behind-the-scenes interview with the characters from my Recipe for Love novels! That's right, Katiebabs asked th...

Happy Easter!!

I'm about ready for church, then it's home to bake the two savory vegetable tarts I promised to bring to our family dinner. I'm going with one Tender Tomato Tart and one Fresh Herb Tart (with goat cheese), both from the Deborah Madison cookbook, Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone. To be clear, these are my contributions for the benefit of another guest who's vegetarian--Stinger and I officially broke our Lenten fast after the Easter Vigil service last night! I'm serious, we came home from that s...

Live Chat Tonight!

Come one, come all to Writerspace tonight, where I will be dishing about On the Steamy Side and celebrating turning in the revisions on my next Recipe for Love novel, Just One Taste! Should be a scream--the Writerspace chats are always wild and crazy fun. Those ladies know how to party! I'll just have to do my best to keep up. ; )

There will be prizes and giveaways (including lots of books,) laughter and song, maybe a few dancing boys--we'll see how it goes. Bring a friend!

Here are the details...

Blog Tour: Writerspace

I'm back on the virtual road today, over at Writerspace talking about being a "plotter" vs. being a "pantser"--both in writing, and in the kitchen! Come tell me which you are and you could win a fabulous prize pack including a signed copy of On the Steamy Side, and a set of signature Recipe for Love spatulas and apron.

Also, today is a happy, happy day because I got not one but TWO fabulous new reviews for OtSS! This one from Reader to Reader made me giggle out loud, especially the last line. ...

Current Obsessions

I'm at my own blog today, for once, but deep into my revisions, so this will have to be quick! I thought I'd do another post about things I can't get enough of right now...

Sweet Leaf Green Tea, with Mint & Honey I discovered this stuff while visiting my parents in Austin, TX. It's a local company, but available more and more places (although not in northern Ohio--sad!) I recently ordered a case from Amazon, that's how good it is. Lightly flavored, refreshing, not too cloyingly sweet--I'm goin...

Blog Tour: Single Titles

At this rate, I'll never have time to post on my own personal blog again! I'm off again today, over at Single Titles trying to figure out what the infamous publishing term "high concept" really means. If you think you know, or want to hear what some smart industry pros had to say about it, please come join the discussion. I'm giving away a signed copy of On the Steamy Side to one lucky commenter!

Blog Tour: Fresh Fiction

What are some of your favorite romances that feature couples dealing with kids? I've thought of a few more since I wrote the original post, some really good ones, but no one has said them, yet! Come comment for a chance to win a signed copy of On the Steamy Side along with a signature Recipe for Love apron and spatula set...

Blog Tour: Romance Junkies

Celebrity chef smackdown! If legendary bad boy chef Gordon Ramsay had to face off against Southern homestyle cook Paula Deen, who'd win? I'm over at Romance Junkies today talking about that, and discussing whether you'd rather try an exciting new dish or stick with an old favorite. Comment for a chance to win a signed copy of On the Steamy Side, a Tastebook full of recipes, and a gorgeous market tote!

Blog Tour: Borders True Romance

[image error] I'm away from my home blog again today, over at Borders True Romance talking about the book that got me hooked on romance and the celebrity chefs I'd like to meet! Come share yours for a chance to win a very cool prize pack including a gorgeous canvas market tote, a Tastebook full of recipes, and signed copies of both Can't Stand the Heat and On the Steamy Side!
