Music Monday
Hello again! I've been putting together the soundtrack to FIGHTING FOR THE EDGE as I've been writing the story, and I thought I'd share a couple of the songs from the playlist today. I don't want to give away the details of why they're included just yet, so just enjoy the music and see if you can guess its place in the story ;-)

FIGHTING FOR THE EDGE Teaser
I posted a new teaser from FIGHTING FOR THE EDGE on my Facebook page. Here it is if you missed it! And I have some release date news - the book will be out in November!!

Nick shimmied through the crowd, and Chris moved closer to Aubrey. “See that table of girls over there?” He jerked his chin toward a group of three women dressed in cut-up sweatshirts and neon-colored leggings. “They’ve been checking me out since we started dancing. Should I go over and test my player skills?”
“No, no.” Aub...

Music Monday
A couple of weeks ago I featured Aubrey from the EDGE series on Music Monday since she has a major role in FIGHTING FOR THE EDGE, the next book in the series. This week I thought I'd give Chris a moment in the spotlight. He also has a big storyline in the next book that I'm very excited about!
Chris has varied taste in music. He listens to a lot of hard rock and alternative on his iPod before he and Emily compete. It gets him fired up and ready to attack their program. A couple of his favorite...

Music Monday
Whenever I hear that one of my favorite bands or singers is coming out with a new album, I get so excited to hear those first clips, that first taste of the new songs. Isn't it such a great feeling of anticipation, clicking on each song and hoping it will blow you away with its awesomeness? One Republic released their latest album
Native
last week, and I found a couple of songs that I loved upon hearing just a few seconds of them. I already featured "If I Lose Myself" in a previous Music Mond...

Music Monday
Happy Monday! For this week's Music Monday, we're getting to know Aubrey from the EDGE series a little better since she'll be one of the featured characters in FIGHTING FOR THE EDGE, the next book in the series. I've stolen her cell phone so we can check out the ringtones she's assigned to some of her friends :)
First up is her ice dance partner Nick. They've skated together for twelve years, so they've grown up together, and Aubrey knows she can always count on Nick to have her back both on a...

2013 Worlds - Free Dance & Ladies FS Thoughts
Still recovering from Worlds PSED (Post Skating Event Depression), but I'll try to organize my thoughts on the final two events :) I'll do the ladies first since it will be brief. I only saw the final two groups (well, most of them - I wandered the concourse during Sotnikova and was dying with laughter when I spotted a guy sleeping out there. Seems he wasn't too enthralled by the ladiezzzz either). Anyhoo, it was great to see Gracie skate pretty well. I'd like to see her work on her posture i...

2013 Worlds - Free Dance & Ladies Free Skate
I have a super early flight tomorrow morning so I'll write up my thoughts on the events later. Here are my photos in the meantime!
2013 Worlds - Saturday Dance Practice
It wouldn't be an event for me without an early morning dance practice! Arrived at the Budweiser Gardens shortly after eight and got to see all four groups. Everyone looked solid, though most teams didn't do much of their programs during the run-throughs. I saw Kaitlyn Weaver's new costume for the first time, and I liked the old one a lot better. This one is too much white. I thought the other one looked more statuesque and fit the program better. I liked Andrew's old shirt better, too. ...

2013 Worlds - Men's Free Skate
It's really late and I have to get up early for dance practice so this will be quick. It's a shame Denis Ten isn't the champion because he had the most complete event of all the skaters. He had two outstanding performances. It's so great to see him putting it all together! It looks like the older guys are getting pushed down in the standings as Takahashi and Joubert both skated pretty well and were dropped. Max Aaron gave us a great display of technique. I'm hoping his strong finish here will...
