Friday 56…and hey, this counts as a Friday Snippets, too
The Book: Shades of Gray…a just finished WIP by yours truly. (Hey, it was the closest…as in open on my laptop)
page 56, 5th sentence. (I gave a few more lines, too)
Scowling, he watched as she went back to her bags, opening one of the suitcases and digging around until she had some jeans and a top. Keeping her back to him and her voice low as she spoke quietly, quickly. She got dressed as she talked, pulling jeans up over her narrow hips, a plain back t-shirt that hung too lose on her...

Moon Called… sharing the love…Contest!!!!
So I'm sharing my love of a series.
Silver Borne, the latest Mercy book, came out Tuesday. I haven't started it yet, thanks to a tooth being pulled, a book that needed to be finished and other pain in the tail stuff, but that's on the schedule for this weekend.
In my desire to get everybody addicted to the books I'm addicted to, I'm going to give away an unsigned copy of Moon Called by Patricia Briggs…

Do Not Disturb…Reading…
Groan. I wish.
Silver Borne
Silver Borne comes out today, and damn it, I wanna spend the day reading. But it's Tuesday, and for the foreseeable future, my Tuesdays are kind of taken. Sulk. Gee, if I can tweet and run at the same time, wondering if I can run and read…no. Better not try it.
I love these books.
I love that cover.
I want to read this fricking book right now… O_O

Let's talk about… Quinn
Something I'm hearing a lot about lately.
Quinn.
As in… are we going to see him again…
Wince.
I'm sorry. Probably not.
There are a few reasons.
Contractual reasons…last year, I signed w/Ballantine for romantic suspense. I'm still writing for Berkley, but Berkley will be getting paranormal romances. All romantic suspense will now go to Ballantine. Since Quinn was kind of 'born' at Berkley, if I did write another book for him, it would really be best if it was a Berkley book and my contracts are...Dreamveil… whoa
Whoa. Lynn Viehl has got to be the queen of weird and awesome. Started and finished this in one sitting and I'll have to read it again, but whoa.

(got an ARC, not due out until May, LOVED it)

I'd rather be under confident in this aspect
There's an agent, Nathan Bransford, that I follow on twitter. He sometimes has some interesting industry blogs…well, probably often, but I only click over there every now and then. This time when a post came up about a lack of confidence and writing? That one had my name written all over it, so I clicked through.
Do You Lack Confidence in Your Writing? It Might Not Be a Bad Thing!
I've got to say, to some extent, I agree. It's an interesting post, and some of the comments are...
