My Brain Is Haunted By This Scent



Just stopping by to share this great review of the wonderful collection, Sweet Confessions, edited by Violet Blue. I get a lovely mention for my story, Smell as Sweet.

It's so nice to have the man home, if only for another day. This training can't end fast enough.

Don't Wanna Talk About the Weather



It's been a crazy week. I'm glad it went by fast, because that means I get to see my man again. Just three more weeks of this training in NJ and he'll be back for good. I guess if I want to throw that big party, I better get started on the planning.

If you want to find out a little more about me, run over to Dawn Roberto's blog, Dawn's Reading Nook and check out the interview with little old me. I'm talking about my novella, All Expenses Paid and revealing a few secrets as well. So, stop by and say hello!

I Travelled Way Too Far, To Get To Where You Are Now



Once again, I've been remiss in my Man Candy duties. It was a hectic Sunday night/Monday and I just didn't have the strength to post.

So, here it is. Better late then never. More to report later. When things slow down a bit.

She Got a Tan, And I Got a Sunburn


Where do I begin? I had a great weekend at the Mothership. Except for a little battle with the sun that didn't go my way. It's been a long time since I've had a sunburn, as I usually avoid serious sun exposure like the plague. But, this time, I took a dip in my brother's pool without sunscreen on my back and shoulders. So, now I am pink and a bit crispy. And, itchy. So. Damn. Itchy. I know this too shall pass, and lesson learned. You think being so pale I would know better.

I returned home to some great news. I have a five heart review from the lovely people at The Romance Studio. You can read the review right over here. Needless to say, I'm chuffed. Dead chuffed. Stayed tuned for some more good news on that front, and get ready to vote!!

Also, I signed two contracts this weekend, so I'll keep you posted on that good news very soon. Oh, and also, I was advised by my marketing consultant (my hubby) that I should be on Twitter. So guess what? I am. Follow me here and bask in my pithiness. Until later, enjoy the Man Candy. He looks like he needs a good scrubbing. Doesn't he?

Come Hell or High Water, When I'm Feeling Hot and Wet



I'm late with my Man Candy this morning. (Say hello to Harries from Bondi Rescue!) I was just too damn tired last night to pre-post. I know, it's terrible, but I've found a really crappy side effect of my hubby leaving Sunday afternoons for NJ is that I'm left with very little motivation to do much of anything. Six more weeks of this crap is a pretty daunting proposition, but we have no choice. I'm happy he's happy, but I just wish he could be happy right here in good old PA.

So, I've been struggling to put this new novella to bed, but I am determined to do it this week. By hook or by crook. Or some other cliche that would be appropriate here. Wish me luck.

And The People All Looked Up, And Were Pleased



Happy Fourth of July, everyone! I decided to go with a bit of unconventional Man Candy this week, in honor of the holiday.

My novella, All Expenses Paid is now available for just $4.50!! So far, the feedback I've gotten has been positive, which is nice. Here's hoping it continues. I'm hard at work on my next novella, which will hopefully be finished very soon. Stay tuned for more news!

It is nice to have my man home for an extra day, before he heads back to Jersey for more training for his new job. It sucks to have him away, but I'm glad he's happy. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, or so they say. I guess we'll put that theory to the test for the next seven weeks.
