Let me count (pulls fingers from keyboard, just to be sure)… Yep–that’s 6 winners in all ;o)

And, yep, that means you can scroll back through the entire month and leave a comment on every post. In fact, I’d kinda prefer it that way ;o)

Also means I’ll be blogging every day from now through the 30th (now that my finger’s not bleeding all over the keyboard and I’m allowed to type with both hands again)–so watch out, I’m on deadline and who knows where things will go from here. (more…)

Guest Blogging and Give Aways…

Friday, April 16th, 2010

I’m guest blogging today at Fresh Fiction, talking about how the concept for The Firefighter’s Secret Baby came to be. Scoot on over, for your chance to win one of the 5 signed copies I’m giving away there.

While over here, me and my bum hand will be giving away a $20 Amazon Gift Certificate to one lucky commenter in this blog (all comments from April are in the running, up ’til the 30th!), because I can’t seem to stop myself ;o)

And where are all those pics I promised? Hang on. Hand is healing, draft of Secret Legacy is taking shape, and I’ll be posting more regularly soon (next week I hope). Meanwhile, enjoy some more cover model love and think of how woderful it is to be alive with Spring blooming just outside our windows ;o)

New…

Monday, April 5th, 2010

I need to spread my wings this year. Learn to enjoy what’s new. Not look back at the old that wants to keep pressing down on me. This week, come back daily to share in the fun as I relish the ways three months of hard work are finally paying off, because I have…

A NEW Spring to enjoy…

A NEW novel to revise…and it’s already a “Guaranteed Read” from Dorchester–learn more about this amazing publishing program I’m lucky enough to have been chosen for, and look for Secret Legacy in stores in November!

A NEW Harlequin Superromance release on shelves 4/10…and there’s already only one left on Amazon, so don’t miss your chance to pick on up on B&N or in your local bookstore/section of choice. Cool!

New contests to offer…win $20 Amazon Gift Certificates here AND here  (AND out here the week of the 10th, when I launch my blog release contest for everyone who visits and comments the rest of the month).

New travels to share…from the two weeks in March that saved my sanity and got me back to one (where I could relax into Secret Legacy and make it sing for you).

Of course I have more pictures to share than just this one with cover model and friend Bill Freda, but what a lovely place to start, right ;o) All week, I’ll be uploading pics to the blog so you can see why I’m feeling so amazing and new this Spring morning, while my teenager is upstairs sleeping ’til noon because it’s Spring Break, and my body’s luxuriously tired from hiking all day yesterday on a nearby mountain and my mind is dreaming up dream things to write so you can feel this new, too… (more…)

No– I’m not talking naughty, so those of you who snickered at the blog title, be ashamed of yourself…

What I am is mired in the writing, and rewriting of Secret Legacy  (what do you think of the cover and my C. L. Wilson quote???).

AND I’ve been travelling like a nutcase fulfilling teaching obligations I made before my surgery, even though I have the SL deadline looming and need every minute I can spare to write. AND it’s Bunny Day and Spring Break season, so my son’s busy life is making mine even crazier.

Which isn’t to whine, but to explain my absence. But I’ve reached a happy place with drafting (just the BIG FINISH to complete now in my latest paranormal romantic thriller) and am taking an extended break from the writing cave to revise and enjoy holiday/family time.

So, while I’m out and about amongst you muggles, I wanted to share: (more…)
