Wicked Wednesday – ARE YOU STRONG ENOUGH?

To that I have to say – today I am not! Sorry not to have an excerpt for you, but I am swamped with work and writing deadlines. I will be back tomorrow. In the meantime, I’ve been busy hopping around the blogosphere and there are a ton of places you can visit for more info on STRONGER THAN SIN and some giveaways here and there. Take a moment to visit one of these spots on the ARE YOU STRONG ENOUGH BLOG tour.

Fun Friday – Let Sleeping Cats Lie…

Thanks to my friend Karin for sending these photos of cats being, well, cats. Because they’re cats, they will sleep anywhere they want!

Hope you all enjoy the photos and weekend! Also, prepare for a packed week next week. On August 4 I’ll have Raul Ramos y Sanchez blogging about his new release and also, Amanda McIntyre sharing her latest novel, Tortured, on August 5th. Don’t miss those blogs and the chance to win some prizes.

But now, without further ado, let sleeping cats lie. . .





Fun Friday – Flowers on the First Day of Spring

It’s the first day of Spring and it’s snowing!!! Luckily it looks like the snow is letting up and the crocuses, daffodils and other spring flowers are starting to emerge.

Since it is the first day of Spring, I’d thought I’d share some flower photos with you from my trip to the Philadelphia Flower show this year.

Also remember that the extended contest week continues until midnight EST on March 20th (Today!!). Visit any of these blogs and leave a message and you could win a copy of SOLDIER’S SECRET CHILD, an autographed ARC of SINS OF THE FLESH and a CALLING T-shirt. Also drop by Fresh Fiction on March 20th because they are featuring FURY CALLS as their Fresh Pick! (So excited about this!)
