Welcome, Alex!

*waves like crazy*
Welcome to the party!! Excited to get your thoughts on...well...everything haha!
Hugs,
Ann
P.S. - I've seen m/m on the rise recently and read some good stuff too! ^_~
Hello Everyone! I'm Julie, but go by J. Saman and I write contemporary romance. I've had way too much fun reading all of your posts to the point where I'm neglecting my 1 year old who just smacked my boob asking for me to feed her. Totally serious! So happy to be part of the fun!

*waves happily**passes out cookies or wine and cheese or whatever**considers opening a buffet table instead*
Welcome!!
Hugs,

I think buffet is the best option. *food everywhere* *you can eat whatever you want* *everybody rolling instead of walking*
Mod
*grins*
Thanks everyone and with Nicole's help, I updated my cover for Forward on Goodreads I'll add it here since it's a new cover, but I all ready posted the other info.
Way better, right?
Hi J. (*waves*)Ooh, I like that cover. Even suggests a forward motion with the foot pose :)
Thanks, that's actually what I was going for. Totally in love with his group by the way. Everyone here is awesome!
I refer you to my earlier post with the link to 'Everything is Awesome' from the Lego Movie :) It really is a fun group (alleviating my boredom at work; it's better than me going completely stir crazy!)
Normal crazy is fun, stir crazy is just rubbish ;)
Welcome all newcomers!!! More great peeps! Yay!!!Mistress Annie, a buffet would rock. Now we need a live band ;)
Ooo, can it be a country band? Please, please.And great looking cover, J!
Mod
Errr. Is this a bad time to confess to y'all that I'm a metalhead? The darker the better too hahaha...haha...ha...
No country.
We CAN have Disney soundtracks, though! I LOOOOVE Disney!! ^_^
And yes, Miss Julie!! I dig that cover a lot more! *fist bump*
Hugs all,
Ann
Oh, man. *starts to cry* I can live with Disney soundtracks...they are my jam most of the time:)
Thanks for the + feedback on the cover!And I have to agree on the no country front. I'm more of an indie rock girl, but can get behind some Disney.
Having 3 girls means I know them all! It's like Disney Princesses threw up in my house.
Mod
Best image ever.

Queen Amanda, I absolutely LOVE the cake!! I am not even close to being as good as you are at decorating cakes but I will try to post a link later to a Facebook post from a while back that had some of my cakes in it!

Okay, major confession time, I actually don't like music. At all. Seriously. I've been told SEVERAL times that makes me weird! Oh yeah, and I also played several musical instruments and studied music while I was at school, including music theory and history. Everyone still likes me, right?!?!?!?!?! (◑́_◑᷅ )
Mod
Still? That implies I liked you in the first place...
I jest, I jest! I still love you, dear Princess!

Thanks, Princess Jane:) I try. Sometimes it turns out good and sometimes not so good. I can't wait to see yours! I have fun doing it and I know my girls get excited too.
Oh my Goodness, Jane, not at all? If I didn't have music in my life, I'd shrivel up and waste away....

Or else you'll bake me some cookies and gimme lots of love? Why, thank you, Princess Jane! I graciously accept your offer *smirks*
Groovy wrote: "Oh my Goodness, Jane, not at all? If I didn't have music in my life, I'd shrivel up and waste away...."Not at all!! Not even a little teeny tiny bit! I would be SUPER happy if I never had to hear any music again for the rest of my life! And I have been told so many times that makes me weird, but oh well, I am totally full of quirks, I won't list them all or you guys probably really won't still like me! ( ◡́.◡̀)

I have a cake in the over (for my dad's birthday which we are celebrating this weekend even thought its not till September 12th) and I totally decided not to listen to the recipe because the way it wanted me to do something would have taken so long, so instead I did it my way, made a HUGE mess and then had to clean my kitchen!!
Here's a link to a Facebook post with some of my cupcakes . . .

Alright, Princess Jane, let's open a business together because those cupcakes rock!!! Seriously, I can just picture a Old MacDonald theme birthday party for one of my kids and you totally make all the animals. Those were awesome:)
I have to agree! I think my girls would go crazy for those. I was talking with a friend of mine and we were discussing who we think the hottest male characters from the books we've read. Just curious for some thoughts.

Welcome new people (I'm still really new myself). Shawn - totally love that there is a male here.
Hi! I'm new to this group. I've published one novel so far, and it has a strong romantic element with a HFN ending. I also enjoy reading romances, especially ones in a contemporary setting. This looks like a great, supportive group. Happy to be part of it!
Welcome, Katherine! Yay, more new comers. *passes around some goodies*

I can finally be myself now haha!
@Mr Shawn: Love that you're a dude. With a beard. Hey, what can I say? That totally adds to the cool factor. I mean, if you ever shave it off, we may have to reassess your membership here...
*evil grin*
@Miss Katherine: Yayyyy!!! You're here!!!!! (I'm not excited, I swear!) Happy to have another Contemporary Romancer *fist bump* and very happy to have you here!!
Welcome hugsss,
Ann
