I absolutely LOVE this cover!

I have a couple book signings this month, for those of you in the area. These are both multi-author signings (my favorite kind!):

It’s a quiet week at home for me. My mom has my kids at her place and hubby’s at work. By mid-August, all of my weekdays will be like this because my daughter will be in school all day instead of just half-day.

Sadly, I can’t lounge on the couch, watch action movies, and eat ice cream. I have galleys to work on and a ms to finish. Which makes the wonderful silence in my house so awesome!

Hope your Monday is wonderful, too. Do you have any exciting plans?

The ads Discovery Channel is running for Shark Week totally caught my attention. Especially the OCEAN OF FEAR ad. Yikes!

Anyone else planning on watching this?

PASSION FOR THE GAME has gone back to the printers for another run.

Thanks to everyone who picked it up! ((hugs))

Sheesh. I was just trying to clear off some of the items on my To Do list and stumbled across a vague reference to “how deep is your love,” which put the darn song in my head, which caused me to go to You Tube to find the video, which has since led to hours of listening to a bunch of You Tube-stored Bee Gee’s songs.

Sometimes internet surfing can be fruitful, but man… Sometimes you end up in la-la land somewhere and lose an hour or two of your busy day.

Stuff.

My stepson is visiting for a week. We’re all happy he’s here, especially my little ones who follow him around everywhere. Great thing about that is how I’ve been able to work pretty much without interruption.

I had a new release yesterday, MAGIC & MAYHEM. It’s one of the launch books for Avon’s “brand new, exclusive line of digital erotica.” (M&M is not erotica; it’s erotic romance.) The book is contemporary/paranormal and it’s a quick, hot, fun read. I’m happy it’s finally out (it was turned in for publication back in September of last year, which is why it has a Halloween theme) and I hope those of you who pick it up enjoy it. I think this new Avon venture is something like Harlequin’s Spice Briefs. My story intertwines with one from Cathryn Fox (alternating chapters), a format that reviewers seem to love (so far.) It’s two-books-in-one for the bargain price of $3.19

My voice is finally losing the hoarseness it picked up in Dallas, however, I’m still really tired. I’m sure that’s contributing to my lack of concentration problem.

I’ve got a couple book signings coming up in Southern California. You can find out if they’re near you by checking out my Events page.

I think that’s about it. Not much, eh? If you have any questions, ask away.

In industry musings, I’m very interested in seeing how Bantam’s new Discover imprint does. They’ll be releasing titles in both trade and mass market simultaneously, to appeal to different readers.
