Back from the beach! Amazon treat!

So I went out of town yesterday. Kind of a last little overnight to the parents' cabin before the kid starts school. There's no internet, so I get lots of writing in and the kid gets some fishing and beach time in. I hit a bunch of YES!! moments in the book I'm working on. So excited for it. Plus I've got a couple projects in mind to work on next. All are so different that it's a bit exciting. Fortunately I write at a decent pace.

Anyway, I came home and was inspired to check my Amazon...

Poor kitty kitty

This is my cat Neo.

This is my cat Neo after the kidlet has play time with him…

I'd say I have a pretty patient cat. :P

Have you heard about The Sergeant's Lady?

My friend and chaptermate Susanna Fraser has her very first book out with Carina Press! I'm so excited for her because I know how talented she is and how awesome this book will be! So here's a peek at her release and the info on where you can buy it! I'm hearing lots of buzz on it and it's downloading to my Kindle right now! There's also a lot of buzz on her website ;)  http://www.susannafraser.com/

A new sale!

I'm really excited to say I've accepted an offer from Carina Press for my book Negligee Behavior. I absolutely love this book. Love! And I'm so glad it's found a great home.

Though the contract isn't signed yet and there will likely be some changes, I posted a peek at the premise of my book (or the blurb I sent when I submitted!). Of course I'll keep you updated on when this'll come out and all that good stuff!

Snippet Saturday ~ Characters Interacting

Welcome to another Snippet Saturday! Today's theme is 'Characters Interacting'. My snippet is from my most recent book Going Down. Check out my excerpt and then hop on by to the blogs listed below.

Holding Out for a Hero, Book 1

Eleanor Owen needs to get out of Chicago and quick. It's not that she doesn't want to obey the subpoena to testify against her drug-trafficking ex-boyfriend. It's making it to the witness stand alive, should a dirty cop make good on his threats.

Tiny, remote...

I'm going to Disneyland!

I'm off again. I only have a quick second to check in and say… see ya! Off to Disneyland with the kid. Hope everyone's having a great summer!

My camping trip (aka I survived a flash flood)

So I think I mentioned I was going camping, right? Well…it was pretty fun. For the most part. First let me say, I'm a half-arsed camper. I am. I enjoy sleeping in the tent and bonding with nature. But I'm not crazy about the mosquitoes part and I do want my Starbucks in the morning. Oh, and I MUST. HAVE. A. BATHROOM.

So here's the break down of my trip. I took the kid and niecelet over to Eastern Washington. We camped at Wenatchee State Park which was just beautiful and had a great lake! Yes, ...

Going Down is going strong!

My book Going Down has been hanging out the past few days at #2 on the best seller list at MBAM! Thanks so much to all who've bought it and I really hope you're enjoying it! It's also on sale at Amazon as well and has no reviews yet. If anyone has read it and wants to leave a review, I wouldn't protest :P

So I'm heading out of town again. Camping with the kid and niecelet! I'm not the best camper, but I do all right. I'm kind of excited, actually. No internet (whoa…not even my computer to...

My crazy friends…I lurve'm

So I went away for a few days with one of my good friends to Whidbey Island. I mean she is the best. I've known her for thirteen years. We have fun together. Crazy fun sometimes that I can't talk about on the internet. She's always challenged me to be a better person and have more fun in life. I watched her get married two weeks ago today. It was a small courthouse wedding, and it was awesome. So much love between those two, they didn't need to invite a few hundred people or spend a lot of...
