I opened my email yesterday to find the one that I’ve been waiting for. It was the email that told me the upcoming release date for CAREER OPPORTUNITIES . Well (drum roll, please), if you haven’t seen it already in the fifteen other places I post, it’ll be available AUGUST 22nd ! ! Sometime between now and then, I’ll come up with a contest idea so that you can win a copy of this hot piece of erotica. Keep coming back for updates.

As for my other writing, well, my brain is just not cooperating. I have started to write two additional stories that I’ve been toying with. If you look left, you’ll see the titles: THE FALLEN 2: NEPHILIUM and BEAUTIFUL LIAR. I’m fully plotted for both stories…have everything lined up and all I have to do is type. Why is it then, the only thing I can concentrate on is THE CRAFT OF THE WISE 3: DUELING BODIES? I awoke from a sound sleep this morning with all sorts of dialog going on in my mind as well as the beginning for TCOTW 4 going full throttle. I haven’t even heard back from the publisher on the first book! I thought it would be wise to work on something else until I heard back, but I guess no such luck. Guess I’ll take advantage of my unofficial ADD and work on all three (possibly four) over the next couple of weeks. Enh. What are you gonna do?

(Perhaps immortalized is too strong a word, but I digress…) This post has absolutely nothing to do with writing or even hot men, so if that’s what you’re looking for, go back now.

I’m actually here today to beg, plead, grovel at your feet for something that has been eluding me for years. Those who know me know I love to cook and bake. Yesterday as I was procrastinating writing (hee!), I scoured the internet for yet another chocolate chip cookie recipe. I discarded recipe after recipe. None of them seemed to have exactly what I’m looking for. My criteria? Not that bad, I assure you. Here’s what I want: big, flat, soft and chewy. (With the exception of soft, pretty much describes how I like my men too. *snort*) Any hoo…anybody out there got a recipe you care to part with that will meet my criteria? I’m desperate, I tell ya. Desperate!

If someone has a secret recipe they are willing to give me, I’ll not only put your name on the dedication line on the first book in the Craft of the Wise series, I’ll even name a character after you in one of the books. That’s not a bad trade. C’mon! I’ve got a whole bag of gourmet chocolate chips just itching to be used.

Congratulations to hotteddy2001 for being the winner of my May contest. Just by joining my newsletter before May 15th, she has won a $10 gift certificate to Cobblestone Press.

Just because this particular contest is over doesn’t mean there aren’t more prizes to be won. Sign up today and get ready for the next one…

Hugs!

It’s been seven days since I’ve written anything. True…I like to take a break in between writing projects, but during that break I’m usually brewing something in my mind towards a new story. This time? Zip. Nada. Nothing.

I think it has to do with the fact that I’ve left the comfort of working 50 to 60 hours a week doing my day-time job. Now, I’m down to about 30 hours a week and it’s freaky. I have all of this spare time! You would think that I would use it to write, but noooo, not me. My days are filled with sudoku and finding dust bunnies in the oddest places.

Someone come along and prod me into action, would ya?

Any way, two bits of news: One - Kris Eton will be interviewing me on her blog April 28th. Come on over and check out what I have to say. Two - New contest! Everyone who is signed up for my monthly (and I do mean monthly!!) newsletter by May 15th will be entered into a drawing for a $10 gift certificate to Cobblestone Press. If you haven’t signed up yet, get moving!

Hmm. I think I just spotted another dust bunny. Die, rabbit, die!
