4 stars from Romantic Times…

Monday, February 27th, 2006

…for Twice Upon A Roadtrip!!! (I’ve been dying waiting for the April issue and the sound of the mailtruck was enough to drag me out of my coccoon of blankets on the couch.)
Jill and Ethan’s story is a hoot! Their chemistry is hot, and Stacey’s comedic timing is wonderful in this fast-paced read that […]

Falling apart

Sunday, February 26th, 2006

Well, the kids—in their ongoing quest to drive me insane—shared their germs with me. I also seem to be having some sort of reaction to a new body oil and my skin is trying to move to Wisconsin. And I managed to drop a sheet of sheetrock on my left middle fingernail and […]

Cheating today

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

The tall kid came home early from school yesterday sick, and we passed a rough night, so I’m cheating today. Nipped from Angie’s blog:
Current Clothing: Jeans, a lime green hoodie, and my new Nike sneakers (after being a Reebok girl for years) with the lime green trim.
Current Hair: I don’t know, but […]

More Ramen noodles please

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006

So there’s an article on businessweek.com about how e-books are finally ready to the wave of the future—again—and all that jazz. While that’s exciting news—again—this jumped out at me:
Sony is the first major player to take advantage of the technology. This spring, it will debut the Sony Reader, which uses E Ink and closely […]

Good news!

Larissa sold!!! What awesome news to start the day!
And…a new review for Forever Again:
Reviewed by Autiotalo from Enchanted Ramblings:
5.5 Wands!!!
This is one of those books that grabs you right from the very first page. The characterisation and detail are exquisite, as if we were truly peering into the lives of Gena, Travis and Mia. With […]

Pioneering…or jumping on the bandwagon?

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006

Ellen wrote up an entry about recent articles on erotic romance that pretty much sums up what the reaction has been from the erotic romance writing crowd.
This is the second article I’ve read in two days on the topic. Both of them talk about how Avon, Kensington, and Harlequin are expanding into hotter erotic […]

Who knew…

…that Forever Again being 84th on the romance e-book list at Amazon would make me so happy?
Okay, so just seeing my name on Amazon.com still makes me happy, but I thought this was kinda cool. :grin:

About that SK thing…

Monday, February 20th, 2006

I decided to save my Stephen King-inspired post for my Romancing the Blog column, which goes up on March 3rd.
So…my rambling about siblings seems to be the extent of my brain cell usage this morning.

My Three Sisters

Monday, February 20th, 2006

I’ll be back at some point today with a Stephen King-inspired post on writing/reading, but I’m still waiting for my brain to wake up. Apparently it’s sleeping in today.
I’m still catching up from my littlest sister’s sleepover. She’s 10—8 weeks younger than my tall kid—and they are the best of friends. But […]

A daunting task

Friday, February 17th, 2006

I think it’s time for a new desk.
I have one of those giant corner units that takes up a quarter of the room and collects more crap than my packrat MIL managed to in almost 80 years. It’s like taking the kitchen junk drawers from a hundred homes and dumping them into a pile, […]
