QUICK UPDATE FOR READERS
QUICK UPDATE FOR READERS
Been getting a lot of FB reader comments and private emails about books they want.
YES – there are more futuristics coming. Dragon Lords and spin off series!
YES – I will try to get to the historicals again. But they take a lot of research and I have to do futuristics first. But they are on my list.
End of this mth! – Dragon Lords 8: The Impatient Lord by @MichellePillow (kindle) Print soon after. This is confirmed. So GET READY!!!
Writing: Dragon Lords 9: The Dragon’s Queen. She kind of forced her way into the writing slot. Was supposed to be short, she wanted more book. You can’t really say no to a queen. I tried. She made my muse keep me up to 3AM several nights in row.
Writing: Divinity Magic novella (when the queen finally stops watching me and goes off to do something royal)
On deck: Space Lords books (including what happened to Margot) plus a ton more books.
Readers, I promise I do listen to your requests when you tell me which books you want, so keep those posts coming. I can’t promise I’ll have time to write every story you ask for. I did the math. If I gave up sleep, my fingers still couldn’t type that fast.
Dragon Lords Readers: Want your feedback:
Readers: Want your feedback:
Q: IDEAL voice to narrate Dragon Lords et al? Male/female? Same/Different for entire series? Need your help deciding a direction.
Q: When you read them, what kind of accent do you think the Dragon Lords have?
Trying to decide if I put the series into audio starting this year or not.

Tactical Magik (Immortal Ops Book 5) by Mandy M. Roth released today! Loved this book!
Amazon Universal Link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HNYRHSE
Tactical Magik (Immortal Ops Series)
Book Five in the Bestselling Immortal Ops Series.
Eadan Daly has thrown himself into the role as the sixth I-Ops team member and has forged a brotherhood of sorts with the other men. When he’s asked to go on a solo mission for the PSI Branch (Paranormal Security and Intelligence) he’s not so sure he wants his old job back.
Inara Nash is a survivor, doing what she must to get by. On the run for years, from an organization she doesn’t fully understand, she tries to stay below the radar. When a blond hunk arrives and claims he’s her savoir, she suspects her luck might have finally run out. Sure, he’s hot and looks like he’d be good in bed but there is something almost magical about him that defies reality. And if there is one thing she’s learned in her life in the paranormal underground it’s you never trust a magik.

Random Twitterings from Yesterday
The writing life is full of ups and downs. Make sure you really enjoy those ups–first contracts, new covers, great reviews. … LOVE my job!
*
I am truly blessed with amazing friends, and hope to never take that or them for granted.
I love to see them succeeding, and their hard work paying off because I know how much they deserve it.
*
Love this! Had two people email me with website tweaks I needed on the new page today. Since I’m usually updating that late at night when I’m tired and only after I get in word count, I really appreciate the heads up.
Yes, I do my own author site. Because I like to be able to update it whenever I get the whim. And I tend to micromanage. LOL
*
So, I made the manfriend listen to an enthusiastic retelling of the zombie movie Warm Bodies’ plot-line. Yes. Yes I did. And he still seems to like me. #win
*
The ‘scope said “Put your mental agility to good use by helping others” AKA Mandy M. Roth send me your WIP so I can brag, I mean “help” Yeah, 
“help”
*
LOL So I’ve been obsessively hitting send and receive on my email and I couldn’t figure out why. Then I realized, I’m hoping Mandy M. Roth sends me PSI I-OPS. Hey, a girl can dream, lol.
*
Good on him!

Pillow Fighter Fan Club
http://www.michellepillow.com/pillowfighters.html
Are you a Pillow Fighter? Super Readers / Fans of Michelle M Pillow, Author of All Things Romance. Love Michelle M. Pillow books? Show your love and support by becoming a proud Pillow Fighter! DONT WORRY we’re not dressed like the logo. A place where super readers of Michelle’s work can share and mingle with her, regardless of which hemisphere you’re in
This club is new. Be sure to let me know what else you’d like to see happen at Pillow Fighters!
Why the name Pillow Fighters?
It’s simple. The readers voted on social media and this is what you all decided you wanted to be…and I love it! Pillow Fighters is a fun, playful way to be a kick-ass book slinging author helping ninja goddess. You are helping me fight to keep job in a time when competition is fierce and…ok, that’s all true, but mostly it sounded awesome.
And, don’t a lot of us read curled up next to a pillow? Pillow fighters promoting reading Pillow books while cuddling pretty pillows. That tongue-twister sounded harder in my head, lol.
Besides, let’s face it. I love pink. I would live in my pajamas if society would just bend a few dress code rules. I love comfortable snuggly blankets, wine or coffee/tea, candles and a story I can’t let go of. I love chatting with my readers about Dragon Lords and beastly historical Monster heroes who find thier Maidenly match. I love curling up with a good book and staying up until 4am just to finish ‘one more chapter’. And I know a lot of my readers love those things, too.
Everyone over 18 years of age who reads my books are welcome.
What is a Pillow Fighter?
Everything you want to know is on the web page! And if it’s not, be sure to email me suggestions.

Shopping Cart Brigade
Found this video via the awesome Mandy M. Roth.
I went to the store tonight. It has been snowing so no one has wanted to go out and the streets have been like that frozen town out of Alien vs Predator.
Well, apparently everyone got desperate for groceries because it was crazy packed at the store…with guys. A shopping cart brigade of confused husbands on cell phones wandering around in circles trying to find the exact thing the wife on the other end (presumably very warm and toasty at home) needed, perhaps for fear they’d end up in the place shown in this video.
It was kind of adorable. I’ll admit.
