Reading, Writing, Publishing & Puppy News!

So where to begin? Yes, that's Bailey and we'll get to her later!
READING:
While waiting impatiently for some April authors, I went in search of new books. Last year I ventured into Paranormal as I've mentioned here and this opened a whole new world (or is that set of worlds?) for me. This year I unexpectedly fell into the hotter romances. As Janelle mentioned the other day, she read (and introduced me to) Jasmine Haynes – very which led Amazon to give me some other recommendations based on previous reads. Next up for me was Bella Andre, then Shayla Black and most recently Lauren Dane. I have to say that some things in these erotica stories were surprising to me – but I continued to read more than one book by each author, which obviously means I was enjoying what I was reading. I'm sure not all storylines are for everyone but I can honestly say each author has touched me on some emotional level – and so I've continued in this genre. So that's my READING section!
WRITING:
Going into the downhill slide of book 2 in my SERENDIPITY series. I now have two titles:
SERENDIPITY – Sept. 2011
DESTINY - January 2012
Book 3 - April 2012 (book needs a title, so if you can think of anything in this vein, please share!)
The good news is once we reach September, the books aren't all that far apart!
PUBLISHING:
MORE THAN WORDS, Vol. 7 is in stores now – and I'm so proud of this short story and the charity my story highlights:
The Andre Sobel River of Life Foundation – Within 24 hours, the Andre Sobel River of Life Foundation helps with urgent expenses to allow single parents to stay at their child's bedside during catastrophic illness. Can't think of a more worthy organization! MORE THAN WORDS, VOLUME 7.

PUPPY NEWS!
And lastly, in case you missed the news, we're bringing a new puppy home on SUNDAY! We are naming him FENWAY after the Boston Red Sox Stadium and he's a male Havanese. Bailey's in for a shock, so wish me luck!
So that's it for today! We can talk books, I can answer questions about More Than Words, or SERENDIPITY, or my favorite conversation, dogs!
