Tidbit Tuesday: A review of The Mommy Diaries: How I'm Surviving Parenting Without Killing Anyone

Hey peeps!

I was intrigued by this book's title the minute I saw it. I mean, come on - what mum doesn't feel like killing someone on a daily basis, when you've got howling hyenas in your feet? I've got 2 on some days, 1 on most, and I still feel homicidal most days of any given week. Now imagine having 3 kids, all born within 26 months, on your hands...

This is what the author of this book, Dallas Louis, is facing. My eyes must've popped out of my head when I read that in the blurb -...

Six Sentence Sunday: Before The Morning #4

Hey beautiful people

Last Sunday of the Easter break; cannot wait for the hyenas to head back to school tomorrow (and thus gain some much-needed peace, quiet, and sanity in my house!) I need something to tide me over though – what better than Six Sentence Sunday, eh?

I’m smack-dab in the middle of edits on this one; Before The Morning (Corpus Brides: Book Two) comes out in 2 weeks, and as excited as I am, I’m also quaking in my ALDO boots as to how the story will be received. Par for the cours...

Progress Friday + a few lines from the WIP

Hey peeps

Not much progress to show this week, but I gotta say, at least there is some progress. I always end up forgetting how chaotic my house gets when I have the hyenas underfoot. And I think the whole madness grows more hectic at each and every holiday, the older they get. You’d think your kids growing would imply a little more peace of mind for you, but no, that’s not the case (of course, you no longer get ‘accidents’ at night, and they can bathe/feed/clothe themselves without your assis...

Link Thursday: 1,000 Things You Don't Know About Women (Part 3)

Hey beautiful people!

Back finally to the humongous list after a week’s break, thanks to last Thursday’s guest blog spot at Lindsay Downs’ blog.

I keep going from chuckle to chuckle here, and I’m nodding at almost every other item/observation listed, because some of these are just sooo true and hit close to home with me. What about you?
Remember, we started this series a few weeks back (catch the previous instalments here), and with literally 1,000 items on this list, there’s no way I could’ve f...

Tidbit Tuesday: Welcome to Christine Warner, author of Some Like It In Handcuffs

Hello beautiful people!

Running a little late and ragged here thanks to having the hyenas on Easter break, and deciding to take them out today, and then totally forgetting we'd be stuck in rush hour traffic for literally an hour! I hope my guest today won't mind too much... :)

So, who is she? Christine Warner! The name should start to ring a bell for you, because this lovely lady and amazing author is on the up and up, and there's nowhere I see her going but upwards, as a rising star. Christi...

Six Sentence Sunday: Before The Morning #3

Hey beautiful people!

It's a cool, calm, and sombre Sunday morning here in Mauritius. Fall is definitely upon us, and if I don't want to fall too and lose what remains of my sanity... let's just say - I need a hero, stat!

And, hey - just the thing too: it's time for Six Sentence Sunday, and we can go back to my current hero, Ash Gilfoy, 'played' by the uber-handsome & super-sexy Josh Holloway (yes, yes, it's him right there! This is what my heroic London ambulance worker looks like *grin*)....

Guest Blogging @ Murders&Mysteries - Me and Kick-Arse Heroines!

Hey peeps!

I was invited by the lovely Lindsay Downs, author of the Emily Dahill, CID, series, to guest post on her blog today.

We go to the origins of how, and why, I ended up writing romantic suspense/espionage with strong yet fragile, kick-arse women as the heroines.

"... When a girly girl starts walking on the edge…
…what do you get?

A series about kick-arse women fighting for their lives while they fall in love, and find their HEA in the midst of the direst danger.

Tidbit Tuesday: J.R. Lindermuth & his book, THE LIMPING DOG

Hey beautiful people!

Sorry for the delayed post today - first day of blogging with the kids at home, and I got run down, as was to be expected. :)

But I'm pleased to bring you a 'new' author today. His name is J.R. Lindermuth, and I had the pleasure of meeting him on Goodreads. I offered him a spot on my blog, and he accepted... giving me his very candid and refreshing take on my interview questions. Read on and meet someone whose words and persona leap off the screen!
