On the Steamy Side by Louisa Edwards
I got so distracted by the sunshine, I nearly forgot to post this. The next foodie romance by Louisa Edwards is out now!
On the Steamy Side by Louisa Edwards hits bookstores today!
She's Never Met A Man So Mouth-Watering
When Lilah Jane Tunkle fled her dull life in Virginia for the bright lights of New York City, she didn't expect to wind up a nanny to a gorgeous celebrity chef's ten-year-old son. Working for the delectable Devon Sparks is a sure-fire recipe for disaster, especially after Lilah ...
We have SUN!!
And a projected high today of 45!! Which, ok, isn't exactly warm, but who cares? We have SUN!!! We actually had sun over the weekend, but I didn't get out in it nearly enough. I am SOOOO READY FOR SPRING!!!
No. Really. I am past ready for spring. Did this winter seem longer than usual, or is this just how everyone feels this time of year?
Today I'm going to rake out my little herb garden, trim back what's needed — the sage, mostly. I got just about everything else done in the fall — and start s...

Yesterday was pretty cool
The weekend was heinous, but Monday, aside from a shaky start, was pretty awesome overall.
I've applied for a job as a library assistant at a nearby middle school. As I was filling out the application, I realized that I've been volunteering in school libraries for the last 7 years. And for the last 2 years, I've juggled 2 libraries. Both of the librarians I work with wrote me lovely letters of recommendation.
This is an affirmation. I don't suck. I am not a horrible person.
They also personally ...

Really proud of myself
I'm mentoring April Morelock for the next couple of months (next time, I wanna be the mentee!) and a couple of the things we've identified to work on are pacing and story structure. I could not, for the life of me, figure out a good way to illustrate my point and make it a teaching tool until yesterday morning.
I woke up with this awesome idea, if I do say so myself. 
Ekphrastic writing. My son is doing this in his TAG program and basically, the teacher gives the class a piece of art, or...

Wow!
Unbelievable! There have been over 100 clicks on my freebie, A Dark and Stormy Knight! I did have to go put a comment that it was a serial and I even got an e-mail last night from someone wondering if there was going to be more from Simon and Lydia. Yay!
And this was one of the offshoots of The Regency That Wouldn't Die, so I'm loving that it's finally got a life of its own. Now all I have to do is write the next bit.
In other news, because I am a masochist with a touch of sadism mixed in, I...

Forgetful
I wonder if normal people do this, or if it's a function of my ADD, or what. I can't remember big things that happen.
I mean, I remember my kid's birthdays and when I got married, but I was trying to think today of when I had my hysterectomy. I know I had it in September, the year we moved from England to South Carolina. But that's it. I define time by where we lived, not WHEN we lived.
I forget how old I am. Sometimes I'm older, sometimes I'm younger. Well, I'm not often younger. *gg* I have t...
