Oh my gosh isn’t it beautiful? Emily at Swank did it and I LOVE it. I love it so much I want to celebrate.
So let’s have a party! A week long blog party. Not only do I have a pretty new blog and site (yes go check it out – click the links above – everything is new and gorgeous and shiny!) but I also have a new book coming out on Thursday.
Yes! Too Tempting, my older woman/younger man book will be available at Ellora’s Cave on Thursday! Whoopee! I’m excited about this book coming out because I enjoyed writing the thing so dang much.
To amp up the celebration I’m going to give something away! Something super cool. Something like this:

It’s the cutest little set from Philosophy. You can find out all the info here. A $35 value and I’m giving one gift set away to one lucky commenter! Just drop by and comment here at my blog – I’ll be holding the contest for the next seven days beginning Monday May 19 through Monday May 26.
One comment per day please. And tell me what you think! I’m changing up the way I blog. First of all I’ll be doing it more. Second of all I won’t talk so much about the writing life cos my writing life is kinda…boring. Things are rather exciting around here lately though. Like the snake in my house over the weekend.
But I’ll share that story for tomorrow…
So comment! Tell me if you like it.

I really like the color scheme. It’s fun without being childish (sometimes hard to achieve). It makes me expect a real sense of humor from your writings which would make me want to read your writing. GOOD JOB!
