Random Thoughts Monday: 7 Things About Me

Hello beautiful people!

Another week starts... and I hope & pray this one won't be a total fiasco like last week was. Oh well, the way last week was, anything will be better than that! :) Did manage to break an old ms out (making me go *gasp! I wrote such crap???*) and break out the Pilates mat once again - first time this year - which made some muscles in the backs of my arms, in my back, and my hamstrings, to complain along the lines of "We were doing perfectly fine not acknowledging our...

Six Sentence Sunday - Calling Home Snippet #8

Hello beautiful people!

This Sunday, I'm back home and fending off a pack of hysterical hyenas with no swimming pool in sight to distract them from their super-loud gaming... Oh well, life could be worse, innit? Thank goodness for the lovely pick-me-up that is Six Sentence Sunday. To everyone who came over last week, even though I didn't get a chance to return the favour until way later in the week, thank you! Your dropping over here was much, much appreciated. :)

Okay, onwards and upwards. I'm...

Spotlight Saturday: AIN'T NOTHING LIKE THE REAL THING by Chicki Brown

Hey beautiful people

First time I'm posting something on a Saturday, and I have the pleasure of bringing to you the latest release by my CP and very good friend, a wonderful lady named Chicki Brown.

Chicki and I met in the first critique group I ever joined, and we've been reading and critting each other's mss for close to 7 years now - I think we've seen all of each other's works. Over the years, I've seen her come to grips with her voice and her 'brand', to become one of leading writers of w...

Progress Friday

So it's finally Friday! Though I cannot say I'm looking forward to the weekend (home with the boys - no going away this time, sadly...), I also have to admit I am so, so glad Friday is here, to finally bring a close to this week.

How awful can it get to be away for 2-3 days, eh? That's what I asked myself too. Then I came back to my 'usual' workload on Tuesday... and it took me Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and half of Friday, to clear up the backlog that'd accumulated while I was away. Good g...

Link Thursday: Things A Man Should Never Do In The Company Of A Woman

Hey beautiful people!

Last year, in and around November (if you want to check the archives), I posted a series of links and articles that pertained to etiquette for today's gentlemen. There were the etiquette rules of dating, dinner dates, general how-to-behave tips, and from the feedback I've been getting, it appears a lot of you enjoyed those posts. Women like them so they can 'groom' their men; writers like them so they can write more wholesome heroes; men (yes, I swear I've had a few male ...

Tidbit Tuesday: Spotlight on MAROONED IN MIAMI - welcoming Sandra Bunino!

Hey beautiful people

Apologies for not posting yesterday - I was a wreck after we came back around 2 pm from the vacay, and didn't have enough physical or mental energy to come up with anything coherent, so I preferred to spare you all.

That being said, I was thus able to better to recharge and attack the rest of the week with gusto... and first order is welcoming over an author and a fabulous, wonderful lady I'm proud to call my friend - Sandra Bunino!

Sandra's book, Marooned in Miami, came out...

Six Sentence Sunday - Calling Home Snippet #7

Hey beautiful people!

Sunday already - time flies, innit? I'm away this weekend, on vacation break with hubby & the hyenas, but I still wanted to have my six sentences go up and not disappoint the regular Six Sentence Sunday visitors who come over every week (my hugest, biggest, awesomest thanks for driving by and leaving me your comments! You don't know how much that fuels me to tackle on another hectic week *grin*)

Okay, so we're back in the yard of Dr. Jamie Gillespie's house in Camberry, Su...

Progress Friday

Hey peeps

Cannot believe it's Friday already, and my, what a week this has been! I started Monday as usual - not grumpy because school's in now and Monday means I get to pack the kiddo off and enjoy a few hours of peace and quiet at home to work (I know, bad. I'm a perfectly flawed & imperfect mum, remember? *grin*)

Was looking forward to a nice & easy week, where I'd hopefully get all my ducks lined up and finally be starting work on the staggering to-be-written pile of 2012. It was too much t...

Link Thursday: Oh No He Didn't! 27 Worst Dates Ever!

Hello beautiful people!

Now who doesn't like to laugh? *waits...waits...* Right - I knew it! We all love a good laugh, or at least something to make us smile. And what best than something funny to share with you through Link Thursday today?

Scouring my bookmarked links, I came upon these 2 articles (yes, I feature 2 articles today!). The topic was pretty much the same, so I combined them on here for maximum impact, though it's a little (okay, a lot!) long. The topic - bad dates!

We've all had at...

Writing Wednesday: Raven McAllan comes over!

Hey peeps!

Today I'm pleased to introduce you to another fellow Noble Romance author, and a lovely lady too - Raven McAllan. Raven's latest release with Noble came out this Monday, and yes - that's its beautiful cover you can see right here!

The blurb for this story intrigued me a lot. Take a look for yourself:


Gray Reynard was looking for his wife. What he found was a woman who took his breath away and kick-started his libido.
Jules was gobsmacked to see the gorgeous hunk on her doorstep...
