Moira Reid posted this on her blog, so I’m following suit:
* Grab the nearest book.
* Open the book to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
* Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
Nearest book - Ceremony in Death by J.D. Robb (I heart Roarke like you can’t believe.)
Fifth sentence - "followed orders, you followed procedure. You were not at"
Now do the same, and post it on your blog!

By the time I blog next, it’ll be NaNoWriMo time!!! YAY!!
A few days ago I posted that I needed to enter a flash fiction contest. You could have knocked me over with a feather when Shannon McCracken, president of the Western Pennsylvania chapter of the Romance Writer’s of America, contacted me to say I’d won the 2008 Bump in the Night Flash Fiction Contest .
Holy crap.
I’d love to say my response was elegant, but I remember asking something along the lines of "Are you sh*tting me?" lol. Ah…grace under pressure as usual.
I’ll be posting my winning entry on my Free Reads page some time in the future. Stay on the look out.
And if you haven’t seen it yet, head over to My Bookshelf to check out the cover for my upcoming dark erotica, The Fallen. As someone who recently saw it said, "Fall on me, baby!". ha!
Come check me out at Moira Rogers’s blog . Don’t forget, we’re still running the contest where you have the opportunity to win sixteen books. Click on the banner below if you’ve forgotten to register. Hurry up! You only have a little while left!!
So, I finished THE CRAFT OF THE WISE 3 last night. Whew! Thanks to my fellow Cobblestone Press authors for hosting a ‘book in a week challenge’ where I got the vast majority of this story done. When I typed those lovely words (you know, "THE END"), I swore out loud to myself that today would be a non-writing day. I was going to pick up the three novels I’ve started (I know, I know) and put them all to bed tonight. Then there’s also the matter of two more ebooks I’ve acquired over the last couple of days that I want to get my paws on too. Yesterday morning though, I received a contract for a yet-to-be-written paranormal erotic romance that I’ve entitled FAR TO GO. (We’re still negotiating the terms of the contract, so it’s not *official* yet, but I don’t anticipate any hang ups.) So what does that mean? It means get my BIC (butt in chair for any non-writers out there) and start the next project. But wait!!! I was supposed to spend this week revising THE PRICE OF PLEASURE so that I could send it out and finish outlining SIN OF THE FATHER to work on for NaNo at midnight on Nov 1st. But wait!!! I said I would enter a flash fiction contest and need to jot something down for that since the deadline is in two days.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
So there. Now you see how priorities can change at the drop of a hat. I won’t even mention that I have four manuscripts out for decisions right now. If I get a contract for any of those…. Oy. I suppose all of this is a good problem to have. No complaints from me.
Today, I’m guest blogging at the Demons and Magic Mixer at Eliza Gayle ’s blog. Come on over and check out what I have to say. (Here’s a hint: you’ll get to read an excerpt from THE CRAFT OF THE WISE: BOOK OF SHADOWS)
In this crappy economy, everyone is looking to save a buck. Well, now you can get SOLDIER for just over $2 at Fictionwise — this week only! If you haven’t bought it yet, now might be a good time to check it out.
Morgan Sierra’s picked up quite a number of fans. lol. I’m not complaining!!
Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I have a release date for FOUR PERCENT. It’ll be available on November 21st. Have you stopped by the FOUR PERCENT web page to read the excerpt?
No?
Well, what are you waiting for? If you like a story about triumphing against the odds or hell, if you just like stories that involve menage, you’ll want to pick this up.
Ok. So if you follow me on MySpace or Twitter , you already know about these. Still, I feel compelled to share them on my blog…the trailers for my two upcoming books.
You know, I think I’m starting to get the hang of making them.
Simply fill out the form and select which drawings you’d like to be entered in–the more you select, the better your chances of winning! You can also opt to get updates from our thirteen authors, who want to tell you when they have new books, freebies and contests.
Winners will selected on October 30th and notified on Halloween. So take a look at the fabulous books offered and get in on your chance to win!
Thanks to Moira Reid (whose promo I "borrowed"), Summer Alan, Selena Blake, Leila Brown, Mina Carter, Eliza Gayle, Sable Grey, Cassandra Moore, Moira Rogers, Ericka Scott, L. Shannon and Jamieson Wolf for joining us in this exciting contest!
