Paying tribute

Happy Friday, peeps!

Song of the day- Citizen/Soldier by Three Doors Down (Video at end of post)

Today's post is all about giving thanks.  That's right. Our nation's Independence Day is this Sunday, and without the men and women of the armed forces, our great nation would not enjoy the freedom it so easily takes for granted.


This cheer mom is giving a big shout of thanks to all those who place their lives on the line to keep me and mine safe.  Thank you!

It's not just about those placing themselv...

Douchebag award time!! Don't be an e-pirate!

Not all pirates look hot, sexy and oh-so-delicious like Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean. In fact,  most pirates these days probably look a lot like you and me. The only difference being, they have zero respect for authors, musicians, actors/actresses. Trust me, the list goes on and on.

E-pirates.  They're the douchebags of the online world and they need to be stopped!

I'm not the most tech savvy girl, but I do a lot of research and I'm a quick learner. When Eve Of Samhain released, I qu...

Kindle for Android is now available!

Happy Wednesday, peeps!

Song of the day- Magic by B.o.B.

Yours truly went to the midnight showing of Eclipse last night (WOOT!) and I'm beyond tired and my brain feels like mush.  As such, today's post is short and sweet, but oh-so-exciting.

Great news my Android owner friends!  Amazon just released the Kindle app for your phone! Let me hear  a "Hell to the yeah!"

I'm goin' to see Eclipse tomorrow!

Nah, nah, nah, nah, naaaaaaah!!! (insert long, juicy razzzzz)  Just kidding!  Well...kidding about the razz, not kidding about going to watch Eclipse.

Oh, uh...Happy Monday? I'm just a little excited here, peeps, so stick with me.

Song of the day-Gettin' Over You by David Guetta and Chris Willis featuring Fergie and LMFAO

It's here, it's here, it's finally here!  Yes, I'm talking the premier of Eclipse.  Of course, if my money tree hadn't died I would have loved to attend the Los Angeles premie...

Review! Life, Liberty and Pursuit

Happy Friday, peeps!

Song of the day- Faithfully by Journey (I've been listening to it non-stop as I finish up my WIP.)

If you hadn't already guessed, I love books. Whoa!  Big surprise there, right!  I'm a huge romance fan.  Huge!  The stories I read have to have a HEA (Happily ever after.)

The bulk of the books I read tend to be adult, paranormal romance, with a few contemporaries thrown in here and there for good measure.  Once in a while, though, I come across a YA that just sucks me in and ...

Persistence is key!

Happy Hump day, peeps!

Song of the day- Kids In Love by Mayday Parade

This post is a good chaser to my thoughts on Monday about rejection. To reiterate quickly:  Rejections suck ass, but you need to push forward and keep putting yourself out there.

Yesterday I decided to take my own advice and sent out a few more queries for one of my projects.  And woohoo, I'm so glad I did!  About thirty minutes after sending one of the queries, I received a partial request. Squee!

So you see, perseverance is k...

Rejection

Happy Monday, peeps!

Song of the day- Billionaire by Travie McCoy

So I woke up yesterday morning feeling tired, and cursing the dawn as per usual. I peeled myself out of bed, slithered down my stairs with one eye open and somehow managed to situate myself in my favorite chair with my favorite piece of machinery, my laptop.  Yes, I am a creature of habit, and this is my morning ritual.

Let me just say, for a writer/author, nothing wakes you up faster than an email in your inbox from an agent.
If y...

Spreading some love

Happy Friday, peeps!

Song of the day-  This Ain't A Love Song by Scouting For Girls

So, I'm feeling thankful today.  Between bbq's with good friends, seeing my children grow during cheer camp and some awesome reviews for my book, I'm floatin' around on a happy bubble and thought I'd share the love!

The following are great people who you should be following because, well, they are all kinds of awesome!

Kristin Miller over at Pararomance-  Kristin is one of my critique partners, a total...

Eclipse!!!

Happy Hump day, peeps!

Song of the day- Life In Technicolor by Coldplay

I'm excited! Wanna know why?














I think the above pic says it all!  Eclipse comes out on June 30th!  That's fifteen days, people!  Fifteen days until we get to enjoy the beautiful goodness that is Rob Pattinson playing Edward Cullen.  Swoon!

My girls and I already have our tickets (Thanks, Deanna!) and are watching Twilight and New Moon before the Eclipse premiere.  Woot!

Do you have your tickets yet?  Have anything special plann...
