I get a notice every time somebody new subscribes to the blog here, and there have been so many new subscribers that I thought maybe I should write a blog.  🙂  Well, if you follow me on FaceBook,  you know I’ve been writing at the lake a lot lately.  There isn’t any internet out there, so it’s pretty great to write.  My husband took the picture of me from inside the cabin, and I had no clue.

The bathtub is still in my backyard, and the parking meter is still in the front.  On all that is holy and pure, I don’t know why.  We live in a very nice neighborhood with normal neighbors.  I very much fear we’re ‘those people.’  Yes, I plan to move both the bathtub and the meter, but they’re heavy.  I’ll figure it out soon.

I had an absolute ball in Atlanta at the RWA Conference, and the workshop I did with Cynthia Eden was a lot of fun.  She’s a fountain of information about serial killers, and she’s an amazing writer.  Kristin Higgins was one of the keynote speakers, and she made us both laugh and cry.  I read her book on the plane ride home and laughed out loud.  People probably looked, but I didn’t care.  🙂  My room was on the 39th floor, and this is a picture at night of downtown Atlanta.  Pretty, right?

I’m heading to Savannah for the Authors After Dark Convention on August 14th.  If you’re anywhere near Savannah, drop by.  It looks like a lot of fun!  I’ll post some updates as the week goes along.

Finally, here are the updates for the series:

Dark Protectors:  TWISTED was released in June and features wolf shifters Terrent and Maggie.  SHADOWED, Jase’s novel, will release in both ebook and print on October 3rd.  The ebook is up for preorder now.  TWISTED, TEMPTED, and TAMED (the three Dark Protector novellas) will be available in print next May, when TAMED comes out.  We’re combining the three into one print book.  YAY!

Sin Brothers:  FORGOTTEN SINS released July 2nd and is going strong.  Unfortunately, it hasn’t been available in the UK or overseas at all, and my editor is working on rectifying that.  Hopefully this month I’ll have some good news.  It’s driving me crazy, to be honest.  The print book will be available in January at all bookstores and online.  Book 2 (Matt’s book) is all finished and will be released this coming December.  I should have a name and cover soon…

Maverick Montana:  The first two books are out and are doing well.  Book three, RISING ASSETS, is tentatively slated for a November release.  I’ll know more soon.  There doesn’t seem to be a plan for print with this series so far, but I’ll keep asking for it.  🙂

That’s what’s going on in my neck of the woods.  I’m hoping to have a character interview or two up soon…keep tuned in and have a wonderful rest of the week!

Also, if you look above at the tabs, we’ve added one for merchandise since people kept asking where to get T-shirts, etc. with our logos.  So…there it is.  🙂

Hi all!  It’s spring break and I’m in Maui.  No, I don’t feel bad telling the world that I’m not at home.  We have a buddy (ex-soldier) house sitting and watching our two dogs (Dobermen).  So…anyone wanting to steal my very cool Krups coffee maker will be in a world of hurt if they try.  🙂

We’ve had a wonderful time so far–even went to dinner the first night and saw about five whales jumping and playing in the ocean.  It was amazing.  So I thought I’d share five things I’ve wanted to say but haven’t so far:

1)  Dude. If your speedo is so tight it disappears in rolls, you’re going to hurt yourself if you keep wearing it.  (A.K.A.  My eyes!  My eyes…)

2)  Lady.  If you’re so intoxicated you can barely walk…don’t walk by the pool.  I mean, splash.

3)  Yes, honey.  Sand can get caught in all sorts of places.  But isn’t body surfing fun?

4)  To my sister who went running on the beach at 4:00am yesterday:  You’re freakin crazy.

5)  Hey buddy.  My eyes are up here.

This leads me to illustrate how cool my husband is.  If you’ve been reading my blog, you know I tore the tendons in my foot and have been in a boot since January.  Well, I took it off last week.  Keep in mind that January was months ago and I haven’t run, walked, or worked out in any way.  And now…I’m in bikini land.

I tried on one pieces and tankinis…and they don’t work for me.  Don’t know why, just wrong body type.  So I went with the bikinis…eesh.  Yesterday we sun-bathed out at the pool, and I yanked on shorts to go up to the little bar.  (Most of us always yank on shorts and don’t walk around in a full bikini, ya know).  Well, I passed several people, got my drink, and returned sighing about my not-worked-out-in-too-long thighs.

Tony lifted an eyebrow and said, “Honey, believe me, I was watching and nobody was looking at your legs.”

Oh yeah!  The benefits of a bikini.  HA!

I’ve been leaving a quick blurb from Tempted on my facebook page every day…as well as talking about the trip.  Drop on over there and ‘like’ to keep updated.  Have a good weekend.  🙂
