Leaving for convention, and when I get back...

I'll be at an all week party beginning tomorrow, Tuesday 4/24. I'll return Monday April 30th.

I'd like to invite you to our Beltane Bash at the league of amazing writers on Tuesday May 1st. I'll be posting excerpts of my May 2nd release, Being Randy, and giving away a copy to one lucky reader!

Here's an excerpt!

“I don’t want you to go, you know,” she whispered.

What kind of silly game was this? I pulled back so I could see her face. She seemed one hundred percent sincere as tears rolled down her cheeks, making lighter streaks through the dust of the road that had settled there.

“Then why are you kicking me out of your life? I don’t understand.”

“Because this is the life you want and I love you enough to let you go to it.”

You could have knocked me over with a chicken feather at that moment. I’ve heard that women sometimes say one thing and do another, confusing the hell out of men in general, but this coyote was completely stumped. “You love me?”

“Of course. Absolutely. I don’t make love to every coyote I come across you know.”

“How many coyotes…?” She tried to smile and I realized she was attempting to make a joke.

Forest blew the horn and rolled down his window. “Come on. We don’t have all day.”

Sky let go of me. “You can shift now. Please—just know that I’ll never forget you.”

“If that’s what you really want…”

She paused, then nodded.

“Okay.” I walked to the side of the road and squatted there. Concentrating on my other form, I closed my eyes and tried to shift. When I opened them and looked down at my body, I was still a man. Hmm…

Sky stood there waiting. I guess I’d have to try harder.

I balled my fists, scrunched my eyes shut and held my breath as I concentrated. Opening my eyes, I looked down and saw that apparently I had failed again. Sky cocked her head and watched me curiously. I held one finger in the air.

“Third time’s a charm, right?”

Oh my God! Brad Pitt is my friend!

Check out myspace and see. No lie!

Interesting article!

This has nothing to do with romance. In fact it's quite the opposite. If you have a few minutes, this article might really surprise you! Medical doctors have found a possible genetic reason for the famous Hatfields vs. Mc Coys feud that's been going on since the Civl War.

No, this isn't an April fool's joke!

I've had the most amazing weekend!

Friday night I had an incredible review for Heaving Bosoms, comparing my 'madcap comedy" to Jennifer Crusie and Janet Evanovich! Holy...!

Then, Saturday morning I received another contract from Ellora's Cave for my novella, Demolishing Mr. Perfect! I'll post more on this as soon as I have a release date.

Saturday evening, just before I went to bed, I checked my email inbox and found a reivew for Vampire Vintage. It's a must read according to Paranormal romance!!!

OMG!!! I was too excited to sleep much last night. I just had to try not to bounce in bed, which would have kept my hsband awake. LOL.

So far, Sunday is a delightful day too. The sun is shining and it's about 60 degrees here in New Hampshire. My dh got the spa tub up and running after the long winter without it and I already enjoyed it once. I may go in again this afternoon! I was reading a book by Delilah Devlin in there and couldn't put it down...except to get out, dry off, and avoid getting pruney.
