New Rules
I joined Facebook a couple months ago and really like it. I love the fact that my family is there. With all of them out of state, it's a great way to keep in touch on a regular basis. I've also got friends, coworkers and writers all together in one place, which makes it a one-stop-shopping for staying in touch.
What I love about Facebook is the ability to group your "friends". This allows you to filter posts from only those people in the groups you create so that posts from close friends and

One More Award
Thank you to the wonderful people at the Greater Detroit RWA! UNLEASHED finaled in their Bookseller's Best Contest.
This one in particular is a bit of a bummer because the winners will be announced at a luncheon during the RWA National, and this will be the first year in a while that I'm NOT going. It would have been so much fun, but I hope all the other finalists are able to make it and have a great time.
And thank you again, Michigan readers! You're the best![image error]

Bad Blogger
Yes, I've become one in the sea of bad bloggers--us writers who get a blog thinking we've got lots of witty and wonderful things to say on a daily basis, then realize after a while that our lives are truly pretty boring. Nope, it's not that I've been too busy to blog. It's that I really have nothing interesting to say!
But regardless, I am going to try to come up with something so that this blog doesn't die a slow and painful death.
I see to the right sidebar that I have a cover for my August Bl

Done And An Award!
Done. Done, done, done, done, done.
I finished my latest Blaze. This will be my 6th for the line, and unfortunately won't be seen until 2010. But it is DONE!
And this one is especially sweet because it was one I seemed to drag and struggle through from start to finish. The premise is a spoiled and pampered bad-girl heiress (think Paris Hilton) gets sentenced to work 30 days as a maid for a battery conviction. Hero is the hotel owner who isn't happy to have her. It sounded like a fun dynamic when I

Just Say No
Yesterday I did something wonderful. I stayed off the internet.
It was hubby's birthday, so I took the day off work and made him the 100% focus of my attention, which meant that my chronic internet surfing had to be set aside for the day. And I have to say, it was fantastic.
Now, before I go on, don't get me wrong. I adore the relationships I have here and with those friends and family I keep in touch with via the internet. But keeping up with those relationships takes me, tops, about an hour out

I Heart Denver
On the heels of my fiery crash-and-burn defeat over at DABWAHA, the lovely folks over at Colorado Romance Writers called to tell me UNLEASHED has finaled in the 2009 Award of Excellence in the Erotic Romance Category.
This is the third time I've finaled in their contests, both as a published and unpublished writer, which is nice, because I've always loved Denver. It's good to know Denver likes me back! And I'm not just saying that. Back when my California house was actually worth something, my hu

DABWAHA
Well, I am getting creamed in the DABWAHA contest. So much so that I'm not even shamelessly canvassing for votes. I would basically need more than 350 people to go vote for me in the next hour and a half, and--being the analyst I am--I've concluded it's not going to happen. LOL!
But I still think it's quite cool to have been there at all, and I hope you all will go over and vote for the books you like. Every 6 hours they are opening up 4 new battle-of-the-book pairings through the rest of today a
