Ah, at least it’s not Monday still, right? It’s a beautiful morning here in NC, low humidity, high-sixties. Nice weather. Too bad I’m stuck in my gray cubicle most of the day. LOL.
How’s everybody doing? I’m doing okay - on the home stretch to finish Zeke’s story (yes, I know I’m late, but I’m close, soooo close) and diving into Micah’s. He’s turning out to be quite a complex man - invading my dreams, too. That’s when I know a book is singing, when the characters appear in my dreams. Hooyah!
I’m writing my fingers to the bone this week, I WILL be finished with Zeke before the 30th. I’m off to the beach for a few days this weekend and yes, I will hit my daily goal each day. Game. Face. On.
What’s going on in my world? Let’s see, Hell for Leather hit the MBAM’s Top 10 list. Woot! Thanks to everyone who bought a copy. :) I’ve got my first website review from none other than Brenda Talley at TRS - she’s such a doll. You can read her review here. Of course, sweet Blanche posted a review on MBAM, too - thank you sweetie!
On a more somber note… I was really sat to see George Carlin died on Sunday. He was by far my favorite comedian. When I was in Vegas last year, I wanted to see him perform, but he wasn’t there the weekend we were, and now I’ll never get to see him live. *sigh* Who can forget his routine on the seven dirty words? Or on “stuff”? He’ll be sorely missed.
If you want to read a good article, check out this one from Publisher’s Weekly on “The New E in Erotica” with a quote from my Kensington editor Kate Duffy (woot!). Good reading. :D
Hope everyone has a marvelous Tuesday! 
OMG! I have been hiding in my cave, and didn’t know until your Kensington deal until just now when I got my RT!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS, Beth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy crap, I’m so happy for you!
I’ll drag you out on the dance floor at RWA! :)
by Larissa Ione June 24th, 2008 at 11:39 amHey doll!! Thanks so much! Yep, it happened in May. I’m still pinching myself. But I won’t be at RWA
My 12 YO needed braces so there went any travel money!! You’ll have to save te dancing for next year because I plan on being in DC!
by beth June 24th, 2008 at 4:03 pmI was very happy to share my thoughts on Hell For Leather at MBAM!! It’s a wonderful book and I hope lots and lots of people read it!!
We are finally cooling down here, we had a week of 110 temps and we are suppose to see that again by early next week!
by Blanche June 24th, 2008 at 4:15 pmOh, man! Bummer!!!!
Especially because I don’t know if I’m going to be in DC. Figures…it’s only 2 hours away and I have a friend who lives there, so it would be a very cheap conference for me. But we’re moving next summer, so I think I’ll be in the middle of a cross-country move.
Sucks!
by Larissa Ione June 24th, 2008 at 10:45 pmAh phooey. Well, we’ll work it out Larissa, doll, no worries.
You won’t get rid of me that easy! Who else is going to sing along with the country songs?
