The last of the items being auctioned for Larissa, goes up tonight, including an autographed copy of BAD BOYS AHOY!

Bid here, if you want it.

I’m hoping to send out an ARC, but since I’m not sure how many of those I’ll get, it may be the actual book.

I spent the last week trying to clean everything work-related off my plate. You know, that stuff that sits there waiting for you to have time for it? However, all my stuff has a deadline on it, so putting it off just nags at me in the back of my mind until I feel rushed and can’t focus because I’m trying to do everything at once. I still have two more projects that need to be finished: edits to Kiss of the Night, and wrapping up a short for AQP. (The last theme was sci-fi, the next one is magical) Once these two are done, I will have officially, completely cleared all past work from my desk forever. :cheer: In the future, I hope to find a better balance than selling everything I ever finished in the first part of the year and spending the latter part of the year trying to edit it all on deadlines.

Of course this means I have to write all new stuff under deadlines, instead of having the somewhat consoling knowledge that at least the work is done, even if it needs some work.

There’s always something. *g*

I’m also back to thinking about my website again, and what to do now that futuristic works are scheduled for release and more is in the hands of my agent. The wisest thing would probably be to start all over with a design that says sexy, but without a time constraint. However, I’m still very attached to my present site design, and I’m also still building an audience. But then again, do I want to build an audience that considers me primarily a historical author? Or do I want to build an audience who considers me a place to go for sexy stories in any time period? I’ve been hashing this out for months and months, and switched out the very historical weblog design for something less historical, but I’m still very torn and unsure. Probably because I have no idea what I’d want if I didn’t have my present design. I can point out a few great futuristic designs, but nothing has really struck me in the “everything goes” sector of web design, and I wouldn’t want to trade out my very unique site for one that closely resembles other author sites. Ya know?

I’m chatting today from 1-2pm EDT. Hope you stop by and say hi!

I have to get this proposal finished by Monday, so I can get back to work on my third Brava. Therefore, I’m going under for the weekend. My mom is coming to get the kids :yay:, hubby will be delivery and shopping service, and I’m writing/editing/revising up a storm. :cafe: So since I’ll be gone, I’ll leave you some stuff.

First,

Second, Larissa’s auction is going on now at eBay, please see what they’ve got and BID!! Think of the fact that every penny you spend goes to Larissa, and you’re getting great stuff in return.

Third, I’ve donated SoH to The Romance Studio’s Katrina fundraiser. If you’re interested.

Fourth, just for fun, I’m giving away a copy of one of my books (I think CC) for the TRS Movie Trivia Game, if you want to play that.

And finally, don’t forget to vote for your favorite sexual euphemism, if you haven’t yet!

See ya on Monday!! :kiss:
