My heroine:
I am not always a visual writer. Meaning that I don’t always need photos to get the creative juices flowing. Most of the time I conjure up my characters in my head, don’t use photos of various famous people for inspiration.
But as I was sitting in the Dallas/Fort Worth airport coming back from RT flipping through a magazine I saw her and thought, she looks just like my new heroine.

Music today over at The Sizzling Pens. I figured since I’ve been listening to it nonstop for the last week I should at least blog about it. Some more.
On another note, I had a dream last night I was on vacation and I ended up in a bar. Sitting next to Brenda Chin, the senior editor at Blaze. But I had my daughter there with me too. And Brenda looked at me, looked at my daughter and said, “You brought her to a bar?” Eeep, yep. She was disgusted.
You never want to disgust an editor you want to impress, even in your dreams!

A scary place.
Evil creatures lurk there.
Evil Diegos. Die Diego die!
Cue the music - my hero has come to save the day!
SHIA! Kill that snake with your mighty sword. Heh heh heh…
The evil creature is dead.
That’s right sweetie. Take off your jacket and stay a while. Flex those muscles. You’re so tough.
The jungle doesn’t scare you!
Witnesses to my madness.
And I watched an interview with him last night. He said the words, “I have a crush on Karen (well he’s talking about Karen Allen who’s in the film with him but I don’t care).” So yes, those very words have dropped from his lips. He’s crushing on me. Isn’t that just the sweetest thing?
Yes I really have lost my mind.

I’m madly in love with this song.
I can’t stop listening to it (though I’m usually listening to the eight minute version - yeah!) and I’ve written my entire book so far with this song playing over and over and over…
Gotta love having a fourteen year old in the house. He turned me on to it. It’s by Death Cab for Cutie. And it’s gooood.

Enjoy your day off (if you have one), remember those who have served and sacrificed for us, too. I will be driving most of the day - lucky me! Even though I was sick for most of the trip I had a nice time with my family and I’m glad I came.

I didn’t post yesterday and I’m sorry. I got horribly sick Thursday night and still managed to get up, gather energy and drive five hours north to my parents’ house. Needless to say I collapsed in bed by nine p.m.
I just want to thank everyone for the sweet comments regarding my blog and site! I love it so much and I’m glad everyone likes it.
So now I’m going to hang out with my family and old friends for the next few days. And guess what? It’s RAINING. Yes! Rain on Memorial Day weekend! What’s up with that?
Any fun plans for the weekend? Don’t forget to comment to be entered in the contest! Prize and info listed below…

It’s finally here! The Oh Yum! release day for me and my friend Amy Ruttan!
You can purchase Too Tempting (by me!) by clicking here
Caroline hasn’t seen Kevin Travers since he left for college four years ago. The boy she knew is now a gorgeous, intense man—and starring in her erotic fantasies. When Kevin admits a longtime attraction, Caroline can’t understand his interest in a woman twelve years his senior. But that doesn’t stop her from enjoying all his body has to offer.
Kevin is home for a few months before relocating for a dream job. Too bad it’s not hisdream. No, his dreams involve something closer to home—and one of them is Caroline Howard. The sexy divorcée considers him a summer fling…which gives him three months to convince her he’s more than just the boy next door.
You can purchase Love Thy Neighbor (by Amy!) by clicking here
David Craig has been in love with the same woman for two years, a woman fifteen years his senior. He’s tried everything to forget her, even kept away from his parent’s home to avoid her. Now he’s back for his sister’s wedding and the woman he’s tried to forget is single
When her ex husband leaves her for a younger woman Beverly finds herself, alone, forgotten and in a slump. That is until David Craig returns to town.
Seducing David Craig is just what she needed, she just never counted on the intensity of feelings she has for him, and he has for her. Maybe there is truth to the old adage of Love Thy Neighbor.
Amy and I would love it if you could join us today at the Ellora’s Cave Yahoo Chat Loop (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ellorascavechat/) where we’ll be chatting from one to three p.m. eastern time. We’ll be sharing lots of yummy excerpts and a few prizes too! So stop on by!
Oh! And check out our Thursday Thirteen over at Six Degrees of Sexy. I’m all about the promo whore. Amy is all about real life. I didn’t mention that I’ll be scrambling to pack before I go out of town on Friday! Aaack…

Not a whole lot in my neck of the woods. Daughter stayed home yesterday with a minor stomach bug and as I type, I realize I don’t feel that good. Eek. I do not want what she had, if you get my drift.
In writing news well, I’m not doing much of it and it sucks! But I came up with a new idea and I think it has possibilities. *Taps finger against chin.* Yes, many possibilities.
In books coming out news well, I have a book coming out soon! In less than two weeks, oh my God! I just realized that. Anyway, it’s called Too Tempting, it comes out on the 22nd and I shared the cover with you a while ago. It’s part of the Oh Yum! series at Ellora’s Cave and I’m super excited about it! I LOVED writing this book!
You know what excites me even more? That my book releases the same day that Amy Ruttan’s Oh Yum! book Love thy Neighbor does. Yeah! We have fun things in store for you, Amy and I. Like contests and prizes and stuff. So stay tuned!
What are you up to?

I doubt I’m doing anything that special (husband is working) but I plan on doing NO CLEANING. Usually I clean or do laundry or something on Sunday but NOT this Sunday. It’s lazy day for me.
Well as lazy as it can get with my two youngest whining at me all day. Grr.

And I’m talking about lies we’ve told. Let’s discuss.
