ACCIDENTALLY EVIL IS HERE! (4/30/13)

Hi All!  Why the HECK am I so excited?  Ummm…cuz my first novella is publishing tomorrow. It was a little over a year ago that I self-published Accidentally Married to a Vampire? (a book that I thought would never see the light of day) and it hit the bestsellers lists. I’m now on Book 3.5 of the series (am finishing writing Book 4 now), and I’ve loved every second of this ride. 

WHAT AM I TRYING TO SAY?

I guess what I’m trying to say is that if you’ve ever dreamed of writing a novel, just pull a Nike. Just DO IT! (Such a cliche, I know, but true.) I cannot thank the readers enough for giving me this opportunity to do something so cool with my life!  

 

BUG HUGS,

MIMI

ACCIDENTAL TREAT

Hubba hubba! All right, what’s a book release without a little fun? In honor of ACCIDENTALLY…EVIL? my first official non-Indie publication, and 1st official Accidentally Yours “Snack” (aka Novella) to release in the U.S. on April 30th & this summer in International...

ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO…A VAMPIRE?

**SIGH** Is there anything better than oiled down abs? I LOVE this ad! 

Because he cut his hair for me…

Almost 18 years ago, while backpacking with my roommate through the Yucatan, we’d decided to stop over in Tulum, Mexico (we were living in Mexico City as exchange students at the time) and stay a few days at Don Armando’s, a very rustic little place where you could rent a hut and a hammock and enjoy virgin white sand and turquoise waves (perhaps you might even be inspired to write a book about it some day).  Little did I know that within hours, a gorgeous man, with deeply tanned skin, long waves of black hair, and a delicious muscular frame would ask me to dance to Bob Marley and become the the love of my life.  

Fast forward two years later…he and I were living together in Mexico City. I was working on my Masters and wondering what would happen next to our relationship–in one year, I would need to go back to the U.S. and start paying off those student loans. And while I was wildly in love with my boyfriend, I had to face reality: he didn’t speak English or even have a passport and his enormous family was in Mexico. I couldn’t stay, and he wouldn’t come with me. It would never work out for us, which broke my heart.  

But on our two year anniversary, we would return to Don Armando’s, and he would propose with some of our best friends there to witness and Halley’s Comet overhead…

He would move to the U.S. with me, for a few years, anyway.

That next year was one of the hardest ever.  We had to get him a visa to the U.S., and I can tell you it’s not like in the movies. At every turn, it seemed a new issue popped up on the paperwork, but bottom line, the biggest hurdle came when his attempt at getting his Mexican passport failed. If he wanted one, he’d have to enlist for military service because he’d waited so long (it’s some weird Mexican law).  

I’ll never forget the day he showed up at home without his beautiful black locks–a requirement for enlisting. He looked adorable, needless to say, but at that moment I knew he was truly willing to give up everything for me–his home, his family…his hair.

A year later we were married near San Francisco.  

That was 15 years ago and while much has changed (and he never did manage to grow back that hair), to this day he continues to be the love of my life.  Happy Anniversary, my love.

EVIL & Book Availability Update – NON-US READERS

A BIG HELLO to my UK, Australian, South African, New Zealand, Irish, Scottish, Italian–okay, you get the point–READERS!

First, I want to thank everyone for their patience!  I know my books just disappeared off of Amazon. Why? Well, turns out that traditional publishers play by different rules when it comes to selling ebooks outside the U.S. 

 

Second, the publisher has agreed to let me put my existing books (Books 1-3) back up for sales ASAP. (KEEP a look out on my webpage and Facebook for news on this.)  

 

Third, ACCIDENTALLY EVIL? (Book 3.5) will be available outside of the U.S., but looks like not until summer.  The publisher is working to make this sooner!  I am so very sorry.

 

FINALLY, the GOOD NEWS, is that they plan to have everything ironed out by summer, which means there won’t be a delay in getting VAMPIRES NEED NOT…APPLY? (Book 4 and the sequel to SUN GOD) out to everyone on time.

 

Again, I just want to thank all you wonderful people out there for your patience.  

 

Best,

 

Mimi

 

 

 

 

Please excuse the mess while we redecorate!

Hi All! Thank you so much for your patience while my transition to Grand Central Publishing happens. I know my titles have disappeared outside of the US, but soon they will be back! The publisher has been completely awesome, creating new covers, having fun with me to add new scenes, and....getting ready to go into MASS MARKET PRINT! Woo hoo!

This transition has been tons of work, but I am so dang happy to be able to offer print, reach more people, and make more smiles happen. What more can a writer ask for?

Best,

Mimi

eBOOKS JUST MOVED!

Hi All! Today, my indie-published books moved to Hachette Group (Grand Central Publishing). Please excuse any temporary blips on Amazon, B&N, Kobo, etc. as the titles are taken down under my name and republished under theirs!
