Search Stories

I saw this cool little toy on Divas today and you know I had to play around with the idea. It's called Search Stories and gives a very interesting peek over someone's shoulder as they research the topic of their choice.

Here is the one I made for Wicked.



Go ahead. Give it a try. You know you want to.

Check it out here.

I Made 3 Lists!

I am thrilled to announce that my little bookie has made three of MBaM's Best Seller Lists. Everlong is currently the #1 best seller in Fantasy Romance.

Woo hoo!

And is also #7 on the front page Best Seller list

Somebody pinch me. I just can't believe it. I've never made a list before (other than the naughty list) and never thought my first full length fantasy novel would do the trick.


If anyone comes looking for me, kindly direct them to Cloud 9...

Everlong's First Review

This review was an early surprise for me. It posted on Sunday over at Anna's Book Blog. There is no better way to wake up than to a good review (unless DH is involved). ;)

Everlong was an enticing read, from page one I was intrigued. A wonderful mix of paranormal and fantasy. Ms. Edwards has created the perfect definition of fantasy romance. The story opens with an exciting fight scene that instantly pulls you in. I really loved the journey the characters went on. Comparing the...

Tag! You're It!

A friend turned me on to this yesterday and I thought it was share worthy. First, ask yourself this question.

Do you tag on Amazon?

If you're scratching your head, I'll take that as a "no." In that case, you're probably wondering what tagging is, how you do it, and why you should care if someone tags you.

The answer is surprising.

Let's say I'm shopping on Amazon for Ill Wind, the first book in Rachel Caine's Weather Warden series (which I happen to love).

Go ahead and take a look at the sales pag...

Confession Time

I am addicted to FarmVille.

I was on FaceBook for a good long time, a year I think, without falling prey to any of the cool games it advertises.

Tuesday asked me to join FarmVille around the first of December so I could send gifts to fill her tree. I thought--okay. I'll play through the end of the month and be tired of it. Then I'll close out the app and forget about it.
