Teenage Dream~

Okay, I wanted a fun song… wasn't feeling nothing. So I typed in top 100 songs… which led me to Yahoo Music, which I hadn't perused videos on there prior to this. While there I came across this song and lord help me I couldn't not watch it. What the hell? Not that I mind Katy Perry, because some of her music seems to have the toe tapping effect on me. I'm blaming the guy in the video on my inability to look any further for music to post on Monday. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Happy ...

Congratulations!!!

Well, this is a little late in the day, but on top of holding out for any late commenters, my computer decided to die a very quick death. Yes I cried buckets of tears because as usual, yours truly did a back up to what I thought was my external drive and alas it was a big FAIL! It backed up to my computer. It is gone. Beyond repair. Dead. The sound of Taps is playing softly in the background as we speak.

However, all is not doom and gloom because we have a winner! Yes ladies and gents, the...

Query Me This~

I have talked to several of my fellow authors and the consensus seems to be the same. We all loathe writing the much needed query letter. Have you ever tried to sum up a 90k story into say…. one to two pages? So not an easy task.

They are a necessary evil and I can appreciate the value in a well written query. It is very much like pitching your awe inspiring epic urban fantasy novel to an agent you met in an elevator and have 30 seconds to capture the awesomeness that is your book and sell...

Fiona Speaks~

Hi all of you fabulous readers and fellow authors out there. Today I have the pleasure of hosting Fiona Jayde, the author of the upcoming book Night Haven, which if you recall from Thursdays post, I am quite anxiously awaiting the release of. So as if the cover, blurb, and excerpt on the Samhain site weren't enough to tempt you, she pops in here today to discuss what inspired the book. Help me in welcoming Fiona to the blog and feel free to leave a comment or question should one pop to mind.

Ready to Roll~

This one is for my best friend, Rissa who will no longer be a Miss in a few weeks. So exciting. Anywho, this is just a small reminder of a concert we went to. Really enjoyed these guys and hope you do too. And yes, I do believe I am 'Ready to Roll' into this week. Hope you all have a productive and most enjoyable day and don't forget to stop by and visit Fiona Jayde who will be guest blogging on Temptation Tuesday tomorrow!

9/11~

On that day, the strength of a nation was tested and it is still tested to this day. On that day and the many that followed, you could not drive or walk down a street without viewing a sea of red white and blue. The sea of flags has receded, but the memory and images will always remain. I have no words to share that would lessen the pain brought on by this day. I will not get into a political debate or tarnish the memory of those whose lives were lost on that tragic day in our nations...

As Promised~

I told you I would divulge a little more information on my guest for this upcoming Tuesday and I am here to deliver on said promise. After rummaging around this author's site, I am a bit beside myself. How do I compete with a woman who is a space pilot, a ninth degree black belt in three styles of martial arts, a computer hacker, a mountain climber, a jazz singer, a weight lifter, a superspy with a talent for languages, and an evil genius. Oh wait… it's all in her head. Or so her website...

Crazy

That's how I feel lately. The day job has been chaotic which has left me drained at the end of the day. I missed music Mondays which is one of my favorite days and today I failed to do my tempting Tuesday post. Perhaps I will get one up later.

For now though I wanted to let you know that next week we will have an author popping in for temptation Tuesday. Hope you stop by. I will drop more information on this special guest on Thursday. Til then…

Ian Somerhalder

Yes today's post is coming a little late in the day, but though I am not posting the hotties as frequently, I did feel this man deserved his turn in the spotlight. Many of you may recognize him as the oh so dangerous and tempting older brother on Vampire Diaries. If you don't recognize him, well your a little late to the party, but I am a forgiving person. Just please keep the drool in check, as is my usual request.

Enchanted~

I am here to tempt you yet again my pretties with some wondrous tales. These little gems are all part of the Enchanted Anthology from Samhain. Each story is being released in eBook format today. Want it in print? You will have to wait, but it will be so worth it. Trust me.

Awaken by Anya Richards

An angry fairy queen trapped his body. A woman's love could imprison his heart.

An Enchanted story.

Prince Ryllio once lived so charmed a life, even he began to believe nothing bad could touch him. Then ...
