The EC models!

RT Ellora's Cave Photographer, Syneca

RT

EC always treats us like rock stars! The first night, they had a welcome party for us and allowed us to mingle with the models. We even had some professional pictures taken with them!

Once the models showed up, I couldn't hold the camera steady! LOL

RT Pictures!

I'm not much of a photographer, but here are some pics you might not have seen yet.
First, the Ellora's Cave Welcome party for their authors!

If you have to miss the party...

I'll be at RT all next week, but I'll be sending pictures and blog tidbits back home to my friend Stephanie Giancola.

Stephanie and I met a few years ago through our RWA chapter and discovered we lived down the street from each other! We became fast friends as romance writers often do. She recently landed a gig writing about romance novels and authors of romance for the National Examiner!

Check out her column, especially next week to hear about the wild 5 day party with 2,000+ readers, booksellers, agents, editors, authors and (*drool) those cover models!

Djinn and Tonic is available now at www.jasminejade.com, for about 1/3 of the price of a regular Gin and Tonic. It will relax you, make you giggle and even boost your libido! All with no hangover!

New book and cover!

Coming soon! Order from www.jasminejade.com (It's only $2.49)

What a week!

I had planned to blog right after the NE romance writer's conference last weekend, but it wasn't possible. I was hit with more craziness than I could have predicted. My final line edits came in for a story I have a 4/17 release date for. That had to be taken care of pronto. (See www.jasminejade.com on the 17th for my story, Djinn and Tonic!) The price of Quickies is being reduced to only $2.49! So do your part to stimulate the economy and save money at the same time!

I just submitted my story Giggles by Gabby for an anthology to benefit an employee of Ellora's Cave who lost her daughter in a fire. She held on for two weeks, but eventually expired. She was only 19 years old. Such a tragedy.

Today I'm sore, but my house is clean and fresh, and I feel so good about it. I hired a young woman (wonder girl) to help me with my spring cleaning. I can hardly believe the energy of that woman. She went for 6 hours straight. She wouldn't let me give her lunch or even water! She had two cigarette breaks (outdoors, of course) and that was all. I don't know if I ever had that much stamina! Maybe she's an immortal. One that has super strength and doesn't need food or water. Hmm...maybe there was a canteen of blood in her car? I can't believe what she did was humanly possible.

I'm SO hiring her again next year!
