I’m going to have to go underground for a while. I’ve got a TON of work to do — writing, editing, galleys, and a box of RITA books to judge on the way. (I “discovered” 2006 RITA winners Linnea Sinclair and Alesia Holliday in last year’s box, so I’m excited to see who I’ll fall in love with this year.)
I’ll try to pop in occassionally, but I can’t guarantee it. I’ve seriously never been this busy in my entire life.
Hugs, kisses, and thanks to everyone who has purchased THE STRANGER I MARRIED already!
I’ll be signing TSIM and DECLASSIFIED: DARK KISSES (and probably a couple more books) at The Book Ladies bookstore in Corona, CA on Feb. 3rd starting at 1PM. These multi-author signings are a lot of fun! Also, I’ll be speaking on erotic romance and promotion at the February 17th meeting of the San Diego RWA chapter. I have a few more appearances coming up and I’ll keep you posted on those shortly. 
I’m at the Brava Authors blog tomorrow, too.
Stacy and Cole — Thanks! ((hugs))
Alesia — you just made my day!
Linnea — yes, the wildly stubborn characters seem to come with the job. Odd that as much as we want to strangle them sometimes, we still love them. *g*
Murph! OMG! How the heck are you?
I don’t read much erotic fiction, but you should write to some of your old friends every once in a while.

Thanks so much for the nice comment, Sylvia! I’m tickled you enjoy my characters. A few are driving me crazy at the moment as I’m in deadline hell…
But that’s part of the job, eh? 
Best, ~Linnea
I’m bummed I won’t be able to go to the booksigning
I’ll be in Chicago on a business trip. Bummer. I got TSIM in the mail from Amazon, and I don’t know if I can hold off reading it till then. Highly unlikely 
We’ll be waiting for all the goodies (… books) when you get back.
What a nice post! I *discovered* you last year, too, and am very happy for it!
hugs,
Alesia
Get lots done!
Cole
Hey, do whatcha gotta do - we’ll still be here when you get back. Get some rest in too, while you’re at it.
