Damn but I’ve been lax in my blogging of late. I shall blame deadlines and such. I’ve some stuff to share, some of it sad and some of it inspiring, and some, well, just news in general.

First off the romance community is rallying around a woman who a lot of people admire and respect. Fatin a popular blogger and assistant to many in the romance community lost her husband to tragedy. You can read about it HERE.

Operation Auction has been set up to help Fatin through this difficult time. She is now a single mother with four children to raise. There are hundreds of items going up for bid, you can read all about them HERE This is a wonderful cause and there are many, many great items, from signed books, to critiques, to purses, jewelry, gift baskets. Look for some awesome baskets put together with a host of Bradford Bunch authors including yours truly.

Check it out and if you can please donate to this woman in need.

In other news. I am pleased to say that I’ll be writing 2 ebook originals for Avon’s new ebook only line, Impulse. The first one, A TASTE OF WICKED will be released next February a few months before Declan’s book, WICKED ROAD TO HELL. I can’t say just yet who will be in this book, but trust me, it will be worth the wait!

This is totally unrelated to writing, but last weekend I sang our national anthem at a local hockey game and I DIDN’T PULL AN AGUILERA! Thank god…I was terrified I’d screw up the words. It went well, our boys won and yes, the earth still turned.

Okay, peeps, it’s time for me to walk the dog but I before I sign off I just want to say how awful I feel for what is happening in Japan right now. My heart goes out to everyone over there. Nuff said.
