Happy Release Day!

Today is the release day for several books, including Stephanie Tyler's second SEAL book, Too Hot To Hold! Yay!!!! If you loved Jake in Hard To Hold, you gotta read this one. Nick is my favorite of the brothers, so I enjoyed this book. Steph writes the YUMMIEST heroes. I hate her sometimes.

Also, Carrie Lofty has a new release today, so if you're into historicals, head over to Writeminded, where she's a guest today and giving away a copy of her newest, Scoundrel's Kiss.

Favorite Things 2009

Every year I think back over the new things I fell in love with over the previous twelve months. Past lists have included butter bells, bag balm, frozen pizza, and UGGS. Anyway, here are the things I loved in 2009:

Snuggie – this is a recent acquisition…I just got it for Christmas. But I already love it! It's surprisingly warm and soft.

iPod Nano – My iPod was on my 2007 list, but this year I got a new one. It's shiny pink, and the new features like the video camera are just awesome. I...

Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

We're home now, and the house is still a mess, with presents and packages scattered everywhere. We got some great stuff, though — lots of movies, books, food…and I even got a demon sheep (which I'll hold a contest to name!) and a Snuggie!!!

Now I'm gearing up for the New Year, which means Lore's release is coming. I'm SO excited. I'm also working on revisions for Sin Undone, and I'm loving it. I normally hate revisions, but I adore Sin's book, so...

Happy Holidays!!!!

This is going to be my last post until after Christmas. We're heading out tomorrow for the in-laws' place and they don't have wireless (I seriously think we're going to set them up with that so I don't freak out every time I go there,) so I'll be out of touch for a few days.

I hope everyone has a wonderful, safe holiday!

Hugs,

Give A Soldier A Special Gift

There are a lot of wonderful organizations that help deployed soldiers get letters, books, and little things they need but have a hard time getting.

But there's something else that too often gets overlooked — companionship.

Recently, I've seen the story of Nubbs, a dog that was befriended by some soldiers in Iraq. This dog had had its ears cut off, had been stabbed by a screwdriver, and then ran 70 miles to find the soldiers who befriended it. The soldiers kept him at their base, where he...

Interview and Win!

Tonight, until noon tomorrow, I'm over at The Black Raven Erotic Cafe with an interview and a chance to win a book from my back list.

Interview and Contest

Happy Sunday, everyone! Hope you're staying warm! We're in a heat wave here — it's 30 degrees today! Downright balmy after negative temps for a few days!

Today I'm over at JoJo's Book Corner with an interview that includes some tidbits about Ecstasy Unveiled (OMG, it's out next month!!!!!) And you can also win a signed copy of Pleasure Unbound. Perfect for anyone who hasn't read it or would like to give it as a gift!

So head on over and say hi! I'd love to see you there. And while you're...

A Little Bit of Christmas Fun

I post this every year, because I just love it. Perfect way to relieve some of the stress that always comes with the holiday season! (I like to pretend I'm shaking up all the rude jerks in mall parking lots!)

Snow Globe Shakeup!

Wraith Has Done Me Proud

Yes, my arrogant, cocky, sarcastic demon boy has really been wonderful to me; yesterday I found out that Passion Unleashed was nominated for a Romantic Times Reviewers Choice Award in the contemporary paranormal category! I'm so excited!!!! I'm up against some SERIOUSLY talented authors, though, so I'm not holding my breath to win, but it's an honor just to be nominated.

Several of my buddies were nominated too, in other categories: Lara Adrian, Shiloh Walker, Maya Banks, Alison Kent...
