I can’t beleive it’s September. I mean, Hello…where did my summer go? Cause it flew by when I wasn’t looking. Does anyone else find life is just way too crazy busy? Between the kids, the husband, the writing and all the social festivities, sports etc. I think I blinked and now it’s over.

‘sallright tho. Seriously. I’m happy my kids are going back to school. The oldest is starting highschool (sobs) and the youngest is going into grade 6. Routine will once again rule the house!

So what did I do and accomplish? Well, before summer started I handed in Book 3 in The Jaguar Warriors His Darkest Salvation . (I’ve added an excerpt so click on the link to read it!) And then I dove straight into Book 4, Declan’s book which incidentally I’m finishing this long weekend. So I’ve written all summer. Played baseball. Had a release from Samhain, Black Destiny , did copy edits and a revision too!

I attended RWA in Orlando, spent the entire week with all my writer buddies and it was awesome!

Managed to get a fat lip whilst playing baseball. The band played a couple gigs…and I packed on a few pounds!

No wonder the summer passed so quickly!

What’s up in the coming months?

In October I’ll be travelling to New York City to attend ComicCon. I’m absolutely thrilled I was asked to participate on a panel, Fangs vs Fur with the likes of Jeaniene Frost, Pamela Palmer and more!

October 26th sees the release of my Jagger’s book, His Darkest Embrace so be on the lookout for contests and such in its honour!

Other than that….I shall be writing….and I’m not complaing at all!

Tell me, what the heck has everyone else been up to? What are your plans for the fall and winter?

Black Destiny is officially on sale! You can buy it HERE! The blurb and cover, as well as an excerpt are available on my book page!

Hey everyone! It’s that wonderful time again…you know, CONTEST time! August 24th, I have the second installment in my Black Opal time travel series for Samhain Publishing, releasing. I’m so excited about Lily and Kerr’s story. There’s something very cool about travelling to the future!

Here is the cover and Blurb:

She will protect him at all costs, even if it means her life.

Undercover, deep in the heart of enemy territory, Lily Black has been charged with a mission: guard the life of Kerr Strome.

Like her warrior sisters, the Black Opals, Lily is a time traveller who shifts wherever she’s needed. She’ll do whatever it takes to foil an assassination attempt on Kerr by The New Order. There’s only one way to fly under his radar: pose as a man.

Kerr Strome is a warrior with his back to the wall. His planet is in chaos, his life threatened at every turn. The safe evacuation of his people from their war-ravaged planet depends entirely on his team of elite soldiers—and their ability to lie low for the next few days. The holding pattern might make him crazy, except for the intriguing new team member. A small soldier with big-time fighting skills, and something extra Kerr can’t quite figure out.

When Lily intercepts a New Order assassin—and a bullet meant for Kerr—her cover isn’t all that’s blown. Their pent-up desire reveals a bitter truth. The reason Kerr is marked for death? He is Lily’s destined mate. And the only way to save his life is to give her own.

Warning: Contains one hard-bodied soldier, illicit loving, a kick-ass lady and a little bit of time travel

So, in honour of this release I will host a contest. I’ll make it simple and easy.

Here are the ways you can be entered!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Let the games begin! I’ll announce the winners Monday, August 23rd.

All right, I’m up to my butt in the hell that is deadlines and revisions too. Summer is especially hard to get this stuff done, but I’ve been a good girl and am on track to finish…in the nick of time! As any good girl knows, a little inspiration goes a long way to help get over the inevitable hump….so here ladies, enjoy…this is my inspiration!

K, now get back to work everybody!

All right I want to know what you all think of my new cover!!!!!!!!!!

Let me know your thoughts and I’ll give some goodies to a few random commentators….I came home from RWA Nationals with a lot of stuff! Weeeeeeeeeeee! And spread the word, the jaguars are coming October 26th!

Wow, what a crazy week. A wonderful, awesome, crazy week! And it’s all over.

Last Monday I left for Orlando. Said goodbye to the dude and the two kiddies and didn’t look back. I landed in a haze of heat and humidity but didn’t care because that’s where my adventure begins!

While waiting for the shuttle I met the very lovely, Valerie Gray who is the executive editor for Mira Books. She was a great lady to chat with and had some wonderful things to say about a certain Megan Hart.

Next up, The Swan and my roomie, author Amanda Vyne. I’ve roomed with this lady every year at Nationals and hope to continue the tradiditon for the next 30. We will be Nora and Ruth! LOL, it was great to see her and Dara Lee Snow arrived later that night as well.

Tuesday we chilled, signed in for conference and met the rest of our group for dinner at Epcot. Barbara Hancock, Grace Conely joined the three of us and it was wonderful.

Wednesday the conference got under way with the Literacy signing at 5:30. I still can’t believe I got to sign in the presence of these awesome authors but the LIT signing raised over 62,000$ if you can believe it!

After the conference I joined a bunch of Bradford Bunchers for dinner with our fab agent, Laura Bradford. Jess Granger did a great job booking our dinner at Shula’s. The talk was lively, the wine was yummy and then it was on to a release party for my lovely girlie, Elisabeth Naughton. Her book Entwined released and her crit partner, the sweet and cute Joan Swan threw her a party. I met a lot of cool ladies there, Rodeo Girl will be remembered fondly as well and Kendra and her boyfriend, whom, I think was entertained greatly by our conversation. And no, it was not I who said the word “anal”. at least I don’t think so.

Thursday I participated in two workshops, managed to swear only a few times and though intimidated by the panel on paranormals that included Kelly Armstrong and Jeaniene Frost, I managed to sneak a few comments in without sounding like a duffus!

So, that’s the first part of my recap…I’ll continue tomorrow…with my take on all the fab parties, the karaoke and I’ll include some pictures!

Well it’s been a busy few days around these parts. Between singing at Hawaiian parties which got shut down by the police…AGAIN….having company come from Montreal and getting ready for Orlando…oy….I need some time alone to just chill!

BUT, I’m so pumped to be heading out to visit all my author friends, agents, editors….weeeeeeeeeeee! It’s a lot of work though….like, HELLO…there is hair and makeup, shopping for shoes and clothes…pedicures….it’s exhausting! But so worth it.

So, for anyone interested here is my schedule for Orlando:

Wednesday I am participating in the Literacy signing which is open to the public. Please come and say hello. I’ve already got nightmares of little ole me sitting by myself with a stack of books that no one wants!

I’m also participating in a couple of workshops on Thursday. One is with my fellow Bradford Bunchers including Elisabeth Nauthon, Ann Aguirre and Beth Kery. The other is 15mins later with a bunch of Harpercollins paranormal authors including Kelley Armstrong, Jeaniene Frost and Terrey Garey.

Thursday night is also the big karaoke sing off at the Japanese resto if you care to swing by!

Friday I am participating in the Avon book signing in the morning!

In between will be a host of social events and hanging with my crit partners! So that’s it…I will try to post pictures and maybe get a blog up or two while away, but can’t promise!

so ciao for now!
