Some celebrity hotness for you :)
Happy Friday, peeps!
Song of the day- Baby Please Don't Go by Mike Posner
Between edits for Obsessed and working on The Witching Hour, there hasn't been much time for me to read and write reviews, eeeep! I did manage to squeeze in two books over the holiday break, and I plan on posting reviews for both in the upcoming weeks. So keep your eyes peeled :) (That's kind of a gross thing to say, isn't it? Eyes peeled? Eww!)
Anyway...I didn't want to leave you with nothing this Friday, so I thought a little man candy would be a fun send off into the three day weekend. Enjoy!
Ryan Reynolds- He is, in my opinion, the hottest man on the planet. On top of his uber hotness, he's intelligent, witty and even writes for the Huffington Post on occasion. Rowr!!!!
Sam Worthington- My newest celebrity crush. Bad boy is hot, hot, hot! He's also my pick to play Nick in my upcoming romantic suspense, Obsessed. Swoon!

Woohoo Wednesday!
Happy Wednesday, peeps!
Song of the day- SuperGirl by Saving Jane (This is from my Pleasures Untold playlist)
Woohoo Wednesday is a weekly post where I share good things that have happened throughout my week, as well as things I'm excited about or looking forward to. No Hump Day hum drums here! It's all about sharing the happy, looking at what's good!
On to the sharing! Things I'm thankful for this week are:
Fuzzy socks. Sounds funny, yes, but with a house full of hardwood flooring and the cold weather we've been having, fuzzy socks are a must. My tootsies have been toasty warm. Wine. Yep, I admit it. I like my wine. After a long day of parenting, writing and whatever else, there's nothing quite like a nice glass of wine to relax with. Well, maybe chocolate. Heh heh.Can't forget to mention the book signing I'm going to on the 27th. Woot! My very talented author friends Killian McRae and Robin DeJarnett are hosting a signing together, and I can't wait. I've got Kindle versions of both of their books and am looking forward to purchasing print copies!I think the biggest thing I'm thankful for this week is the huge sacrifice my hubby made for me. Money is a bit tight around here right now, and my fabulous guy took it upon himself to sell something that was important to him so I could attend the RT writers conference in April. LOVE my guy!How about you? What are you thankful for this week?

Another sneak peak
Happy Tuesday, peeps!
Song of the day- Hold It Against Me by Britney Spears (I like this new song!)
28 days! Woot! 28 more days until Martha and Xan are available. I can't wait to share them with you :D
With the release just a few weeks away, I thought I'd share another song that inspired me while writing Martha and Xan.
Check out Timbaland's eyes throughout. Trippy!

Woohoo Wednesday!
Happy Wednesday, peeps!
Song of the day- Dog Days Are Over (Glee Cast version)
Woohoo Wednesday is a weekly post I feature to talk about any good thing that's happened over the week or something I'm excited about. No Hump Day groaning here! On to the good stuff!
This week I'm thankful for:
A break in the rain! I've felt a bit waterlogged as of late, and I'm happy that there have been a few dry days.School started back up for my girls. While I enjoy having them home, I also enjoy the peace and quiet that comes when they are away learning. I'm finally able to sit and dive back into my manuscript.The new year. While 2010 was huge for me as far as publishing goes, the latter end proved a tad stressful as far as home life went. Time to start over, start fresh. Woot!What about you? What are you thankful for???

Song of the day- What's My Name by Rihanna
The kids go back to school today! Woot!
Okay, okay, really...it's not that I don't enjoy having them home, because I do. I just don't get any writing done. Now that my babies are back on their regular schedule I can write again, and for that I'm thankful :)

Pleasures Untold releases next month!
Happy Sunday, peeps!
One more month! Woot! I can't believe it's almost here.
With just a few short weeks until the release of Pleasures Untold (book 2 in the Hanford Park series) I thought it would be fun to start introducing you to the story a few snippets at a time.
Music plays a big role in my writing, and as such, I'm going to start sharing songs from the playlist I created while writing book two.
First up:
Don't Trust Me by 3OH!3

Happy New Year + Cover for Pleasures Untold
Happy New Year!! Woot!
Hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable New Years Eve. The Sanchez clan spent the evening with good friends and rang in the new year with plenty of smiles and a heap of eager anticipation. Out with 2010. Bring on 2011!
Many wonderful things happened in 2010, the most memorable being my lifelong dream of becoming published finally coming to fruition. I'd like to give a huge shout of thanks to those wonderful people (crit partners and friends) who helped me make my dream come true. You people rock my socks!
What are my goals for 2011? I'm gonna tell ya!
I'd like to attend more of my RWA chapter meetings. Our family's busy schedule kept me away from quite a few meetings last year, and I'd like to change that. Meetings are always inspirational. I learn so much and am always eager to write and push forward after attending.I'd like to finish up The Witching Hour (book three in the Hanaford Park series) Due to holiday busyness and edits for Obsessed, I haven't had time to write anything new on it for over a month. I'm ready to dive back in and finish this baby.I've got several ideas for new manuscripts I'd like to start. I really want to write another romantic suspense, as well as a YA involving cheerleaders. I already have a sub-plot, I just need to work out a few details and decide if I want to go the paranormal route with it or not. Fun!What about you? What are your goals for the new year?
Oh! And check out my cover for Pleasures Untold. Isn't it beautiful? One more month! Squeee!!

Pimpin' it.
Happy Tuesday, peeps!
Not too much going on here today. The family are all going out to breakfast, and I'm sitting in a nice quiet house, editing Obsessed. Love it!
Once I'm done with the edits, I hope to dive into my tbr pile and get some reading done. I've got two new books loaded onto my Kindle waiting to be read. Woot!
If you've got a minute, head on over to My 5 Monkeys and check out the nice review she gave EOS. Woohoo!
Have a great day, everyone!
