It’s been a good weekend! 
First, my new website went live on Friday. It’s not 100% done yet, but it’s close. I love it! It’s bright and pretty, and for the first time ever everything has the same design. My site, message board, blog, and photo album have always been disconnected in their appearances. Now, the whole site blends seamlessly and I’m thrilled!! Super, ultra happy.

Next, the postman delivered the coverflats for ASK FOR IT. Oh. My. Gawd!! It is the most gorgeous cover ever! (Yes, I’m biased.) The jpg truly doesn’t do it justice. In the jpg the colors are a bit off and the title/author name font looks like it’s yellow ink. Update: I took the flat to Office Depot and had it scanned. In reality, it’s gold foil and the cover is a soft satin texture. It’s seriously GORGEOUS!! I absolutely love it and I can’t wait for you all to see it in person. I keep a flat by my keyboard and I stare at it often. That’s how much I adore it. Kensington has always blown me away with my covers, but this time they really outdid themselves. They’re so lucky they’re in New York, I tell you. Otherwise, I’d be doing the squealing happy dance in their offices (and getting kicked to the curb as a nut, probably. 
) Seriously, though, a great cover is so important. I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful one for my first mass market ST release.
Yesterday, I found out that BAD BOYS AHOY! won the Aspen Gold Award, which is judged by readers and booksellers. Very cool news. Yay! Makes me happy.
I’ve heard a few reports of A PASSION FOR HIM being spotted (and purchased — thank you!) in bookstores. It’s not officially out until next Tuesday, so it’s a bit early, but I’m glad it’s being found (and purchased — thank you again!) I hope you all enjoy it.
As for reader-me, I went to Rite-Aid last night for ice cream and found SERVANT: THE AWAKENING and MINE ‘TIL MIDNIGHT on the shelves. I bought both (Lisa is an auto-buy for me.) Color me happy.
I feel like I’m forgetting something, but I’m really tired right now so my brain’s not working right. If I remember in the morning, I’ll add it.
I hope your Monday starts off with a bang, in the best possible way. Anything cool or unusual planned for you this week?
very nice!
Sylvia, congrats to the new website. It’s beautiful.
I love finding books in drugstores too. I gravitate toward the book section in every store. Supermarket, rest stop, Walmart, Target, etc. If I smell books, I am there!
Love the new site Sylvia! Looking good!
evertything, the great cover and winning lol.
