Welcome to my daily blog. If this is your first time, I'm a romance writer and a misplaced city girl currently living in the wild Sierras. I tend to have a lot of I-Love-Lucy moments that I share here but sometimes we talk about books, TV, and our favorite cookies. Okay, my favorite cookies. In any case, please feel free to comment by clicking on the Comments at the bottom of any entry. If you're too shy, that's okay, just know I love having you.

Important research

February 3, 2012 | Filed under: Stuff

Doing some very important research on rock climbing …

…and thought I’d share. I’m a giver like that.

You are welcome.

TV ‘ho

February 2, 2012 | Filed under: Stuff

I don’t know what’s up with my brain. It had decided to go on a reading break and wants nothing but TV. So I’m haunting hulu, watching all sorts of delicious goodness. Burn Notice, Justified, Once Upon A Time, Happy Endings, and a British show called Misfits. Seriously, my brain is having a grand old time. I keep asking it to switch back to reading and it politely declines.

The brain wants what it wants.

How about you, what does your brain crave when it goes on strike? Are you like me, do you go in waves between TV and books? Or are you strictly one or the other?

Hump Day Contest

February 1, 2012 | Filed under: Stuff

Update:
Thanks to Random.org, #13 and #126 are the winners this time! Email me whether you want Kindle or paperback, and a couple of book choices. :) Oh and I’m so glad you all came out and played! I love it when you talk to me.

Original Post:
Which of the following, in any combination, happened to me yesterday:

1. Had a Man War with Kristan Higgins on Facebook, which she thinks she won.

2. Got caught by Youngest with a folder on my desktop that’s labeled “hot guys”, for said Facebook Man Wars.

3. Accidentally backed into the mailbox, tipped it over and broke it. This is the third time.

4. Meant to send a text to Alpha Man complaining about teenager but sent it directly to teenager instead. Ooops.

5. Started a fire in the microwave when I popped some popcorn and hit 20 minutes instead of 2 minutes. Again, oops.

6. Keep forgetting to remind you all about my upcoming Harlequin Blaze, title TIME OUT, hitting the shelves soon.

Go ahead, give it your best shot. I’ll draw a few winners from the correct guesses for a book from my backlist. :razz:

Best Of

January 31, 2012 | Filed under: Stuff

I’m not sure what this says about me, but this picture made my day.

Something about it just makes me grin. I know, I’m still sixteen, sue me.

So here’s my question of the day . . .

DOES HE KNOW?

:lol: :lol:

Monday’s Musings

January 30, 2012 | Filed under: Stuff

I have a girlfriend in town and we’ve been writing.

And maybe not writing.

We have for sure been eating a LOT.

We went and saw One For The Money, and then couldn’t decide what we thought about it …

But one thing we could decide on, taking pictures is way easier than writing.

TGIF

January 27, 2012 | Filed under: Stuff

First of all, I put some new covers and links to preorder upcoming books on my home page, check it all out. There’s excerpts too. Go ahead, go peek, I’ll wait right here in my Donkey slippers…

I stayed up past my bedtime picking up a girlfriend at the airport. TIRED. But we’re having a Ranger weekend. Going to the opening of One For The Money. Can’t WAIT. What are your plans?
