Blog

Today Im blogging over at the Berkley Blog. About CHRISTMAS :lol2:

Yeah, that’s what it’s been at my house. All out germ warfare. The kids all got well. Mama? She comes down with a double whammy of strep throat and mono. :dunno: Yeah, I’m having a lot of fun. But I’m on day three of antibiotics, and can only now manage to swallow without excrutiating agony.

I only have a few days left until Colters’ Woman releases. :whoo: I’m so excited. I’ve already gotten some fantastic reviews, and I’ve been a bit flabbergasted by the excellent feedback I’ve received on the story. I can’t wait for release day, which is officially Tuesday, but the releases always go up on the Samhain page Monday night. :lol2:

And I just contracted another story that my editor is excited about, so uhm, I have PLENTY to do in the coming months. Lots and lots to do… and uhm there’s the small matter of a proposal I have to get to my Berkley editor in two months. :help:

So yeah, working. That’s what I’ll be doing if anyone is looking for me. :writersblock:

Yes, it’s been hanging out in the sidebar for awhile, but I wanted to post a larger size. I heart Anne Cain. She does wonderful covers. :worthy:

Understood releases December 19th.

Isn’t she cute? She’s so excited that it’s “mommy’s book.”

I’m whispering, but I think maybe the sickies have finally left. :sweating:

Middle child has been home the last two days running a huge fever and puking. :puke: Yeah, lovely, I know. But all seems better today, and I no longer have the headache that had me wanting to cleave my forehead in two.

Which is good because we have a dove hunting trip planned for tomorrow. :shoot: Should be a blast. Friend of ours has the entire hotel rented out for our group. We’ll go down tomorrow, hunt until dark and the goof off the rest of the evening.

Few random snippets. I’m giving away a signed copy of Seducing Simon over at Writeminded today to celebrate the print release. I’m also over at Romance Junkies for the next two days for staff pick days. I’ll be giving away lots of cool prizes and chatting with the readers. It should be fun, so hop over if you get the chance.

My daughter was sick over the weekend. The amazing thing about when kids get sick, is that they can come down with one set of symptoms, get well, then they make YOU sick with a whole different set of symptoms. Daughter had fever and upset stomach. I get headache and sore throat. :huh:

So since I’ll be busy with Romance Junkies staff pick days, I’m gonna go shop for an ebook or two and curl up in my comfy chair to chat and read a good book. I’m taking a sick day. :passedout:

Today was supposed to be another drive to Houston, but my baby is home with a fever and it was raining to beat hell this morning when I got up, so I rescheduled Houston for another day.

We’re at home enjoying sweet baby snuggles, watching it rain and watching Disney. Really, it doesn’t get much better than that :hug:

I’m blogging over at the Berkley Babes today, and I’m giving away a signed copy of Seducing Simon. Come on over and visit and enter for your chance to win :cheer:

I SO don’t wanna go :crying: I hate driving through Houston. I hate wasting an entire day driving there and back for a doctors appointment. I’d much rather be working. And I was an idiot. I should have scheduled my appointment for NEXTweek. Then I could go to Borders and fondle my book. Which means I’ll have to make another trip soon…

Hope everyone has a good day! I’m off for a session in defensive driving. :cursesign:

Yep, that’s me. In the throes of a nuclear meltdown. Sigh…I hate it when this happens. You’ll note there is no surprise on my part. Meltdowns occur fairly regularly in my world. I exist in a vicious cycle of feel good then meltdown lol. My latest crisis, well, it would take too long to explain and I’ve already spent the last time whining and commiserating with Amy. With any luck, I’ll have some sort of epiphany and get past my latest roadblock. :hanging:

If you want to know how bad it is, well, yesterday I spent all day at the deer camp putting up treestands with a bunch of beer drinking good ole boys. :drunk: Then went to another good ole boy fest where there was grilled ribeyes and more beer. Then this morning I got up and spent the entire day cleaning my house. Top to bottom. I cleaned shit I haven’t cleaned in over a year. I’ve worked myself into a boneless glob of fatigue in an effort to NOT think about my latest project. At this point Im so desperate for ways of procrastinating and delaying the inevitable that I’m willing to tackle just about anything. :puke:

Maybe tomorrow I’ll go weed all my dead flowers. :enguard:
