A few things going on with me that are book-related…
- My first book with Loose Id is coming out in a month. Fell for You will release on March 29th. More info coming soon – including excerpts to tease you with!
- My backlist from Cobblestone Press is now available on Amazon Kindle! Yeah, go check it out here!
- I have sold the third and final novella in the Fated series at Samhain. But I’m whispering this announcement because it’s semi-official not official-official. But I had to tell you all because I’m excited about this one. I hope it comes out closer to the end of the year.
- And finally, My Favorite Mistake got a FANTASTIC review from Black Raven Reviews! Five Ravens and a Recommended Read! Whoo hoo! Here’s a bit of what Ashley had to say:
“As always, I’m thrilled to read another excellent romance from Karen Erickson! The sex is always red-hot and plentiful, the romance itself, always sensual. I can never get enough of her books.”
You can read the rest of the review here. And thanks, Ashley! I appreciate the kind words!

Once again, I’m remiss in my blogging duties. Forgive me. I was busy most of January writing like a maniac. Which hopefully will result in good things i.e. contracts which in turn will be good for you, my readers. (psst I’ve already received one contract offer from Carina Press for my second historical novella. More details to come!)
It’s February so that means a few birthdays going down in my house. My daughter’s is tomorrow – she’s turning 8 on the 8th. My baby girl is 8! Where did the time go? We had her birthday party Saturday. Lots of friends and family and food and presents. We had it here. Everyone had a blast.
My birthday is Thursday. I’ve decided this year I’m turning 31…again. Such a great age, I want to repeat it! If you’re feeling a little, um, aged and want to lower it a bit, I will NOT hold it against you. You can join my club. The 31 club!
This week I plan on working on more administrative type stuff (paperwork, updating my website, ooh I need to do taxes – you know, that stuff) and starting the third Fated novella. I pondered the storyline all weekend and I think I’m ready to dig in. I’m excited.
What excites you this week? Did you watch the Super Bowl? The game was all right. The commercials, I thought they were weak. But that’s just me…

1. I am a bad blogger but I have an excuse! I’ve been out of town. I went to see my parents in Palm Springs (doesn’t that sound ritzy? It really wasn’t, I swear. But I’ll say this – it was nice and WARM. I miss the sun. There is no sun at my house). I also went here:
It’s crazy nuts in Quartzsite, Arizona. Filled with RVers – lots and lots of them parked out in the middle of the desert. And a giant tent full of vendors selling their wares. So many wares! So many things you could buy! Very tempting. I bought fresh Kettle Corn. It was delicious.
2. I am busy writing my fool head off. Well, not literally but you know what I mean. I’ve been working hard on a small secret project that won’t be out for a while (like 2012) and I also need to start working on the third book in the Fated series. Oh yes, and Notorious (Eric from Scandalous – his story) has the official release date of June 21st. Wheee!
What’s up with YOU?

How was your New Year’s? Mine was…uneventful. But I’m okay with that. Really. I’ve been busy purging my house (I do this every year I swear), hanging with the kids and writing. Oh, and I got an awesome email in the inbox on New Year’s Eve. Want to know what it was?
Sure ya do!
It was a contract from Samhain for my book Notorious. The fourth book in the Playing With Fire series – this is Eric’s story people! Yes, he’s getting his own happy ending, I promise! Look for it about mid-2011 I think.
What’s on your agenda this week? Me, I’m writing. I have a lot to do this month and need to get busy. Oh, and it won’t stop raining. I rarely say this but I’m sick of it! We’re supposed to be getting a break starting tomorrow. I can’t wait…
