The Long And The Short Of It

Happy Tuesday Folks,

I know I didn't post on Monday. Here's what happened: I woke up a little after 10 after a bad night with a sick kid (he woke up a lot crying). We went to the doc's office in the afternoon. His right ear is trying to get infected and he has a touch of a virus. So he's on decongestion and something for pain. If he isn't noticeably better by Wednesday we're to give him Amoxocillion. Last night was the worst night we've had, so hopefully knowing what we know now we can help him get better.

I got from the library Elizabeth Gaskell's North & South but I returned it, because I couldn't renew it when I tried...they said it was on request, so I figured either I'd buy it or request it another time. But I was enjoying it. I wasn't real far into it 'cause of working on editing my manuscript, but I was enjoying it.

My attentions have turned to Debbie Macomber's Midnight Sons Volume 1 which I'm enjoying. About 113 pages into it.

I'm planning on ordering Kim Lenox's new book, Darker Than Night. Looks good from what I saw of it.

Now...if you don't read my blog regularly, you need to start, because we're coming up onto some months where I got some awesome things planned. I'm not gonna say what, but just trust me. I'm collaborating with an author on a contest and interview with this author for June, then once I know more information on the NWHRWA's annual conference I'm gonna be giving you all the link to that (and trust me, there's big things planned for that Conference).

The Lone Star Contest is in full swing. If you haven't taken advantage of the early bird discount and still want to enter, please click here.

Other than that I'm reading and editing and slipping in some writing here and there.

Have A Tremendous Tuesday!

It's Worth A Fortune

Happy Tuesday Everyone, Does anyone remember the song If I Had A Million Dollars by Barenaked Ladies ? I can't remember when or how I was first introduced to this song, but it's a fun song. So, how about if you had a million dollars? What would you do with it? Of course there's the responsible things to do with a million dollars--pay off debts, and such like that. Then there's the question of whether or not you give to charities, and how much. But, suppose you answered all those questions and you still had quite a lot left; what would you do with it? Maybe I'd go to Disney World. I've wanted to go, and I've never been able to. Or, perhaps I'd go to Germany and England, and Belgium (three of the countries my ancestors are from). Travel around seeing family and friends I don't see often. There's all kinds of possibilities. So, what about you? What would you do with a million dollars? Have A Tremendous Tuesday!

Spotlight On Author: Kerrelyn Sparks

Happy Friday Everybody, THE CONTEST PORTION OF THIS AUTHOR INTERVIEW IS NOW OFFICIALLY CLOSED. Finally! I get to post the interview with Kerrelyn Sparks . I was planning to last Friday, but unfortunately my computer had issues. I have been enjoying Kerrelyn's books for awhile now, but I had the pleasure of meeting her recently at one of her book signings. She is incredibly nice, funny, encouraging and a delight to be around. You, my dear readers, have a special treat today. Not only do you get this awesome interview to read, but if you leave a comment in the comment section (with your first name and email address--I won't be able to contact you if you're the winner if you don't leave your email address) I'll put your name and email address in my contest box for Friday night's drawing for a chance to win Kerrelyn Sparks' Be Still My Vampire Heart . Below (after the interview) you'll see the rules of how to enter, please read them carefully. So...

Spotlight On Author: Loretta Wheeler

Happy Tuesday Everyone, There's a gem of an author I've had the privilege of coming across...I'm talking about my friend, Loretta Wheeler. She's a sweetheart and very talented author. I enjoyed her YA Paranormal novella, The Pan Man immensely. And, she also writes Romance. So without further ado, come into my parlor and meet Loretta Wheeler: Me:  In your YA novelette, The Pan Man , you mention Pan's looking for his long lost soul mate. What made you choose Pan out of all the Greek/Roman gods and goddesses? Loretta:  I chose the Greek god Pan, because of the connection with the music. I found later on in the story, (my stories take over and write themselves usually) it applied even more than I realized because of the band's name. I won't mention the name of the band in here, because it's part of the surprise ending. Me:  You're mostly known for your Romance stories. How would you describe your writing style? Hot, suspenseful, sensual, sw...
