Wicked Wednesday – A Wickedly Good Review and Nomination!

It’s always nice to hear from all of you or to find out online that someone really enjoyed your book! This week it’s been a dose of doubly good online news about two different books. The new, but promising to be wonderful blogspot, PASSION POSTINGS, offered up a great review of the SOUTH BEACH CHICAS books.

As exciting, I just found out that BLOOD CALLS has been nominated for a FANTASM award at the Science Fiction, Fantasy and Paranormal Blogspot. Here are the nominees for Best Vampire Romance of 2008: Continue reading “Wicked Wednesday – A Wickedly Good Review and Nomination!”

Tech for free!

pc.jpgWhenever I buy a new computer for the office or home, I’m always astounded at how the biggest part of the price is for the software! Now, I understand that there’s development costs and the like, but it’s still a big chunk of money to put down for something that you will have to buy again in a few years.

So because of that, I am always on the lookout for freeware or shareware that’s inexpensive and keeping my eye open for new ways of doing things that will make my life easier.

Here’s a few of the things I’ve discovered! Continue reading “Tech for free!”

Guilty Pleasures Monday – Football Players

football1.jpgI have to confess. I spent part of Saturday and Sunday watching football. I haven’t done it in years, but this year hubby and I got back into watching the Jets and Giants.

We won’t even talk about the Jets, but the Giants have been a pleasant surprise. Yesterday’s game was amazing. A 48 second touchdown drive and a second half defense that held back the Cowboys. Go Giants! Don’t think they’ll beat Old Man Brett Favre and the Packers, but I can hope. Continue reading “Guilty Pleasures Monday – Football Players”

Fun Friday – A new addition to the blog

I could not wake the inner Fashionista this morning. The weather was gloomy and wet. The only thing I could think about was slipping on my Columbia rain/winter boots so that my feet wouldn’t get wet.

I hate wet feet. Must be the cat in me!

Actually, the more I thought about, the more I realized how hard it is for me to do the Fashionista thing on a regular basis now that my daughter is on hiatus due to the demands of school.

So it occurred to me to spice Fridays up by offering some fun stuff that I can do! So, look for Fun Fridays on a regular basis. I’ll be posting things you can do on the ‘Net as well as possibly some humorous jokes that have come my way.

To get you started – some online puzzles. When I was a kid, my mom, sis and I would spend hours together working on puzzles. One time it took us a few months to finish one of those really complex gazillion piece puzzles, but we did it!

These are simpler and hopefully will give you a fun way to take a break today. Continue reading “Fun Friday – A new addition to the blog”

Thoughtful Thursday – Hope and Sadness

My wonderful friend and fellow author Irene Peterson always seems to find something interesting to send my way. Whether it’s something about a weird paranormal adventure or in this case, the land of my birth — Cuba.

Yesterday Irene sent me a link about the renovations going on in Old Havana. The New York Times article talks about Eusebio Leal Spengler and how Mr. Leal was given extraordinary powers by my friend (NOT!) Fidel, who allows Mr. Leal to collect taxes and use the profits from tourism in the old center to rebuild this area. (Collect taxes and use the profits? Sounds suspiciously like capitalism to me, but what do I know?) Continue reading “Thoughtful Thursday – Hope and Sadness”

And now to this Wicked Wednesay day treat! Those of you who have been following THE CALLING vampire novels may have seen that there are different kinds of kisses a vampire can bestow. There’s the kiss to make a keeper or one for that night’s meal for starters. For more on the different kinds of kisses, including the ultimate kiss, you can visit the Vampire Rules section at THE CALLING site where I’ll shortly be adding another rule — one having nothing to do with a vampire’s kiss. If you’ve read FATE CALLS, you may have already realized what it is!

For today, however, I’m going to leave you with a little sampling from FATE CALLS in HOLIDAY WITH A VAMPIRE. Continue reading “Wicked Wednesday – The Ultimate Vampire Kiss”
