Happy New Year! Almost...
Bring on 2012! Did you make any resolutions for the New Year? I have. I'm gonna bust out of this awful literary constipation I've got going on, or die trying. Hopefully I won't have to die to get through it.The holidays were nuts around here. Little weasel was really sick the week leading up to Christmas, and the two nights prior (including Christmas Eve), he woke up screaming and writhing around in his bed, holding his head. Fever, vomiting, the whole nine yards. I wound up having to take him to Emergency on Christmas Day, and our whole day fell apart.
I'm beginning to think it's normal to spend Christmas Day at the hospital, since it was six years ago to the day when I hemorrhaged and wound up in the maternity ward while I was six months pregnant with him, then put on total bed rest thereafter. As it turns out, that's when I started getting serious with my writing and wound up publishing Out of Her League because of it. Had I not been bedridden, I don't know if I'd ever have taken it so seriously. Isn't life strange sometimes? Little weasel's okay now, but this was not a fun Christmas for any of us. Hope you all had a better holiday!
On a brighter, happier note, in celebration of the New Year, my amazing pal Katie Reus has a humongous contest starting January 1st and running through mid-February. She's got a romantic suspense release on January 2nd (His Secret Past), along with that naughty Callie Croix's newest erotic romance (Touch Me), and then the first of her major New York published books comes out from NAL on February 7th. Alpha Instinct is the first of at least five books in her Moon Shifter series, so if you love paranormal romance featuring kick-ass shifters, you're in for a real treat.
Katie's giving away all kinds of prizes, including books from authors like me and Cynthia Eden. The grand prize is the newest Kindle from Amazon. To see the details and find out how to enter, go here. I hope a lot of you will sign up for this awesome contest!

He's okay now, thankfully. What rotten timing, huh? Happy New Year to you as well! Just think of all the yummy books we'll read this year :)Have you read Karen Marie Moning's Fever series yet? It's urban fantasy with romantic elements and it's written in 1st person point of view (both things I normally hate), but it's done so well I really enjoyed the series. The first three books were pretty good, but the 4th and 5th were outstanding. As long as you don't read them expecting a real romance, I think you might like them.

No, I have not read this series and I think I won't. Not my cuppa!
Aww that sounds really crappy, Kaylea, and glad to hear that little weasel is better now.And as much as that Christmas Day 6 years ago would have scared the life out of you, it gave us your amazing writing so I'm a tiny bit grateful for that!
Lol, thanks Nikki! I'd always wanted to be a writer, so to stave off absolute boredom I made my lifelong dream come true.
