I am reading when I should be writing. Lots of exciting, busy-inducing things going on around here. And guess what? I’d rather be reading this book:
Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles. It’s a YA and OMG it’s so good. The writing, the characters, the chemistry between them, just…dreamy. And real. Gritty real. And wonderful. I highly recommend it.
How about you? What are you up to today?
p.s. – Fortune’s Chance is #9 on the MBAM bestseller list. Go me! And thanks to everyone who’s bought it! I hope you enjoy it (chews on nails nervously hoping they really do enjoy it).

But I’m glad. I talked about buying this book back in June! I admit, I started it, got a little bored and stopped. It got shoved to the bottom of my TBR pile and when Christmas vacation started up, I pulled it out and told myself, “Self, finish this. The third one is coming out in January and let’s see if you wanna read it.”
OMG. Rumors was so good. Like I mentioned it started a little slow (so did Luxe) but once I got involved, whoo doggie I couldn’t stop reading! I love that cover. It gives me a little thrill whenever I pick it up and look at it (that gorgeous red dress!).
And now that I waited so long (six months!) and finally finished the book well I don’t have as long to wait for the third book to come out! It’s available at the end of January and seriously I CANNOT WAIT.
Look at that cover! Lovely. I know most people are obsessed with Twilight but this is my YA series of choice. I wish I had someone to discuss it with (because I CANNOT BELIEVE how she ended Rumors OMG OMG OMG). I am buying Envy as my early birthday present (next month woot!) – I hope I can wait until January 27th…
Is there a series or book you just finished or are still reading that you are positively devouring? Share!

Yes let’s keep saving the contemporary romance book! I love me a delicious contemporary romance and Talk Me Down by Victoria Dahl sounds wonderful.
They’re having a fabulous contest over at Dear Author so go check it out. Last time I participated in this I bought Flat Out Sexy by Erin McCarthy (the first book profiled in the Save the Contemporary campaign) and my gosh! Such a wonderful book! Seriously one of my favorite of 2008. Go forth and buy it if you haven’t already…

Is my friend. She was one of my first writing friends. I met her on the last day of the RWA conference in Reno back in 05. We decided to be critique partners. I read a couple of chapters for her that ended up placing in a HQ Blaze contest. I eventually critiqued the whole dang book…and then another book. And that book evolved quite a bit, many changes that I never saw. Now…
Here’s the book. And it’ll be available in stores this upcoming Monday! If you can’t wait you can go ahead and purchase the book over at eHarlequin. That’s what I did. Gotta show support for my girl…
Plus! Tracy is leading the most awesome workshop over at the eHarlequin forum. “Know The Market, Know Thyself” has come at a good time for me. This week I’ve been a little anxious. I read my stuff and wonder, “Is this good enough? Really good enough?” Her workshop is touching on some points that I haven’t thought about before.
And you don’t have to be interested in writing “just category” to get something from Tracy’s workshop. Go check it out, it’s worth it!

I love contemporary romance books – it is definitely my most favorite genre to read (and write!). So when I hear the rumors that contemporary books are on a major decline, no one is buying them (readers and editors/publishers/agents), well that makes me sad.
Thanks to Dear Author and Smart Bitches, they’re out to save the contemporary romance genre by sponsoring a contest! They’re spreading the word about the latest contemporary book by Erin McCarthy, Flat Out Sexy.
Isn’t that cover flat out sex-ay? Ooh yeah – gotta get it! So help spread the contemporary love and enter the contest!

My friend R.G. Alexander’s book Piercing the Veil came out yesterday at Ellora’s Cave. It’s hawt. You must check it out…
Book 2 in the Temptation Unveiled series.
Twins Hawk and Val are Fianna warriors under the vengeful curse of a scorned goddess. Following the prophecy in the Book of Veils, they search for the one who can help them retrieve the Claíomh Solais before their enemies get the chance. Their quest leads them to Linnea. One touch and there can be no doubt that they have found their match. But will she accept them once she knows the truth?
Linnea is no one special. So why is she on the run from evil faeries and her egotistical ex? Why is she suddenly spending time in the company of dragons, druids and one kinky Viking with a split personality? All she knows is she has to keep her family safe, and her heart safe from another betrayal.
