Saturday Snark: Running in Circles
So, I'll write more about this soon...but I just thought I should tell y'all about how I am running in circles.
Three blogs. All having to do with my releases this week. Okay, but really. I rock. Out loud even.
LOL.
Mostly because I managed to get out of the way and let those boys tell their stories.
Er, anywho, have to run an errand for the kidlet, and then get back to work.

Fire & Ice #11
Woo-Hoo!
Time for another fabulous Fire & Ice flash.
Simeon's body hummed with more power than he'd ever felt before. JC had poured sunshine and—something warm, sweeter than a whole package of Little Debbie's Swiss Rolls, and as energizing as a triple shot cappuccino—through the three of them. The little frost elemental licked his lips nervously. "Just what exactly what does being tied to both Heaven and Hell entail?"Josh sat up. Stretching out a well muscled arm to reach around Simeon, he scooped the smaller man towards the cozy knot he and Ryan had tangled their limbs up in."Come here baby. I want you touching both of us while we tell you what we know, and try to figure out a decent answer to that question."Simeon allowed Josh to manhandle him into the central position. Plastered against Ryan, with Josh pressed firmly against his backside Simeon sighed in contentment. He felt like the sugar-high-happy-filling of a celestial two-toned-shortbread cookie. Devil's food flavor on one side, Angel cake on the other with a very happy little cream filled peppermint cool center. Hmm. Now there was a thought. He could try to make some of those when they got this whole linked to Heaven and Hell/Scavenger hunt for Satan thing figured out.Josh cleared his throat."First of all I think we'd better make a list of all the things we need to get for the scavenger hunt and make sure we all have copies in case we need to separate."A wimpy little whining noise escaped Simeon."We—ah, we should probably stick together. I know I'd feel a lot better if we did."Ryan placed a soft kiss on Simeon's forehead. As he began to speak, the deep rumble of his voice sent vibrations through Simeon."Josh, I'm with Simeon on this one. I think we need to stick together no matter what."Josh's arms tightened around Simeon until the smaller man squeaked in distress. Ryan spoke over Simeon's shoulder."Josh, please don't break Simeon's ribs. Aside from just being a very bad idea on general principle, it would seriously slow down our progress toward the goal of becoming the celestial triad with the highest number of joint orgasms."Simeon gasped.He tilted his head back to stare in shock at Ryan. The big angel gave him a conspiratorial wink. Simeon's fledgling kernel of anger subsided at the sweetly inclusive gesture. A snicker escaped him."Oh, for sure. I don't think I could—'Simeon blushed, the tips of his pointed ears growing hot. His face was surely cherry red. He ducked forward and buried his face in Ryan's chest.Josh eased his grip. "Okay, okay. Point taken."Simeon continued to hide his face. How did they just talk about such things with the same ease he would exhibit when talking about his latest baking project? Sheesh. He could only hope discussing their sex life was either something he got used to or that he got over this crippling shyness fairly soon. There was no way the two gorgeous men currently in bed with him would stay interested in someone who had no practical in "doing it". Just thinking those words increased the heat in his face by several degrees. He didn't want them to get bored with him."I like doing it."

Tuesday...Triumph???
Today I got a STELLAR review.
http://www.mizlovelovesbooks.com/2011/11/soldier-and-state-trooper-by-cherie.html
Amazing and wonderful. Tickled me pink.
And then I opened a few more emails and found one that told me all about where I could go to download my book for free.
WTF??
Yep. My first publication has been pirated. I guess I've arrived.
Or something.
I did notice that my sales dropped off sharply right around the time this pirated copy of my work went up. And to the pirate, whomever you are, I just want to say...thanks for the free advertising.
I know a lot of folks out there won't care that this--writing--IS my job.
I know scads of people will continue to download the book I worked for nearly a half a year to perfect often putting in ten-fourteen hour days for weeks on end, and that it won't matter to them that this--writing--is what I do to put decent food on the table for my kid. Because, ya know, as a disabled veteran, I'm not exactly hauling in the big bucks from the VA.
There are many who simply won't give a rip that my kid has clothes that fit only because someone GAVE them to us, nor that getting published and being paid for my work means the difference between some pretty basic stuff for us. Like having milk that's not reconstituted. Like being able to pay the bills on time. Like being able to buy bus passes for myself, the kidlet, and my adopted brother...or buying one pass per month because three are too expensive. And doing a lot of walking. Like to the VA for doctor's appointments. Which is a two hour walk for me with my bad back. I know this because I've had to do it.
So.
This Tuesday Triumph?
Is dedicated to all the decent folks out there who don't steal my work. Who give a rip because they know that they'd be really pissed if someone decided they didn't need to be paid for over six months worth of work.
It's for the ones who have a little integrity.
Who aren't overflowing with that nasty disease called Self-Entitlement.
Thank you, readers who have purchased my book through a legitimate bookseller.
Thank you to those who will continue to do so.
Thanks to those who will hear about my book from someone who stole it, and will turn around an buy a legit copy.
I'm sure the others will continue to steal and feel okay about it.
I'm sure they won't worry about how I'm going to pay for medicine that my daughter's health insurance doesn't pay for, but that she needs.
I'm sure that Karma is a sly bitch, and she will sneak up on them someday.
In the meantime, I'll be writing.

Six Sentence Sunday: Christmas Rum Balls
Neil reached up to trace the line of Tony's cheek, stopping at each dot of paint, counting them like tiny, temporary freckles.Tony's eyes crinkled at the corners again."Youse didn't hear a word I just said, did ya, Neil?"Neil grinned back at Tony."Nope. Even once I get the image of you screwing Kevin senseless over the kitchen table out of my brain, you know I can never concentrate when you come in here half dressed and covered in paint, Tony, you look—"

What happened to Monday?
Erk.
Been busy here in the household folks.
Sorry to have been slow keeping y'all up to date my lovelies.
The kidlet has been home waaaay tooo much this week.
Kidlet awake and at home = NO WRITING
AAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCKKKKKK!!!!!!
She's back to school tomorrow though, and I'm back to the writing cave.
I'm glad Thanksgiving is coming up though. I've got a lot to be thankful for right now. Oh, yeah.
A beautiful kid. A fabulous family, both of blood and adopted. A job I love and some kick-ass fellow writers to bounce ideas off, get critiques and encouragement from.
Yep. Pretty damn thankful.
