Hey all, look what I have! Thanks to SPARKLYBEARSY who made this button on her blog RAMBLINGS OF A BOOK BITCH
Go TEAM JAGUAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love it! Feel free to post it on your blog or website and show some Jaguar Love!

I wanted to do a vblog today but decided against it. Very, Very bad hair and I cannot have it seen in a format that will live forever in the cyber world. So, I decided to do a Mish Mash post.

I love Mish Mash. This is what I serve for dinner on those nights when I actually haven’t cooked. We raid the fridge and cupboard, might throw something in the oven too and once it’s combined we call it MISH MASH!!! Serioulsy, they turn out to be the best dinners….add a cold beer and we’re good to go!

So I’m just gonna talk about whatever the heck comes to mind….Right now I’m looking out the dining room window at the beautiful trees that line the side of our yard. They’re Oriental Pear trees I believe and their blooms are freaking beautiful. BUT the smell awful. Like I gag when I walk out there and can’t sit on the back deck until they are gone. WTF? Seriously is this natures little flipping of the bird? I suppose some might find the scent lovley, I however need to cover my nose.

Okay, next up is Criminal Minds. It’s Wednesday and in my house that means Criminal Minds night. I just started watching this show over the Christmas holidays..A&E runs marathons so I’m in heaven on the weekends. I love it. The casting is spot on…I have a huge, huge crush on Reed and man I think if I hugged him i could literally crush him. I love how it can be light but when it’s dark, it really digs in. I love the quotes given at the beginning and end. I LOVE CRIMINAL MINDS! I even started following Mathew Guber (the actor who portrays Reed) on Twitter….he takes a lot of pictures…candid shots which I love.

Okay, other than that….love Crystal off American Idol….she will win, this I predict. This is the only reality show I watch. don’t care about the dancing and the bachelors and the survivors. just the singers.

Oh and I also have a huge crush on Damon from Vampire Diaries.

My TBR pile is as follows: Dead Tossed Waves-Carrie Ryan
First Drop of Crimson-Jeaniene Frost
On the Way to the Wedding-Julia Quinn
Dark Slayer-Christine Feehan

Recently bought cd: Foo Fighters

Last ate: Ham wrap with really, really hot djon….so, what is your Mish Mash….thrill me, entertain me with whatever you can!

Hey all, been a crazy few weeks but right now I’m settling into the groove, and I’m officially A PUBLISHED AUTHOR!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG I can’t express how wonderful and cool it feels to say that! so, all the hoopla surrounding release has come and gone and I move on.

And my world is crazy busy too! Between the kids, hubby and the dog I’m hopping, so add deadline into the mix and well, there are days that I’m pulling my hair out! But this is what I”m up to…

The third book in my Jaguar Warrior Series, His Darkest Salvation is due May 15th. I found out mid February that the project was a go. At that time I had 8k written. Eeeeek! I’ve been writing my a$$ off and if I stay on schedule will have this book done by the end of April. I will confess to loving this one. A lot. My hero Julian is so yummy, and tortured and yummy and his lady is wickedly awesome and kickass. Toss in a lot of action and chaos and well, it’s been a total blast to write.

I also will be able to announce a date for the second Black Opals story to be pubbled by Samhain. It should be available this summer. It’s tentativley titled Black Destiny.

Other than that, I am working on a project for my agent and once that is done will start work on the fourth book in my series in June. Hopefully summer will be kind to me and let me finish the damn thing by September!

In between all of this I’m so looking forward to meeting up with agents, editors and friends in Nashville for RWA’s national conference. I cannot wait, it truly is the highlight of my summer!

So if this sounds busy, well, it is and to relax I enjoy a great glass of wine, merlot or cab/merlot preferred and tonight after I get my words in I will be watching The Vampire Diaries. I LOVE THIS SHOW. Like Love….can you tell why?

Sweet! See you there and make sure to bring some cold beer!

whew, it’s over. The moment I’d been looking forward to for like, ever, it seems is over. His Darkest Hunger released on Tuesday and the whole thing still kinda seems like a blur to me. Seriously. We had a book launch here where I live and Nicole did an amazing job! We sold a lot of books and there was even, ahem, a lineup for me to sign for almost an hour! Weeeeeeeeee! It was very cool!

I will post some pics in a bit! I just want to say a huge thank you to all your well wishes, and to those who’ve participated in the contest. I am sending the info out this week to the authors who donated books, so they can mail out the winners prizes!
