I owe you guys a video and a prize! Who knew it would be so hard to get done with RT just a week away! LOL. I should have known.

First, visit with me at Beach Bum Reads. Visiting this site makes my long for summer and a lazy day at the beach.

And now . . . THE CALLING Vampire Novels are being relaunched as THE REBORN Vampire Novels. Fans of kick ass FBI Agent Diana Reyes and Southern gentleman vampire Ryder Latimer are going to love seeing where their story goes over the course of the next three books. Of course, you’ll get to see a lot of old favorite as well as meet some sexy new favorites, like Rafe, a firefighter shifter, and Benjamin, a Vampire Council Elder.

Because we’re changing the name, we’ve changed up the website to www.rebornvampirenovels.com and we’ve also just finished re-designing a new logo for THE REBORN. Here it is!

Those of you who have read the series know that Diana Reyes has a tattoo on her shoulder of a heart with a dagger through it and we wanted to recreate the look of a retro kind of tattoo. What do you think? Do you like the logo?

I’m thinking of doing some giveaways with the logo, like pins. What else would you like to see with the logo?

It’s been a tough week with work and writing! I am in the throes of getting ready for the RT Book Reviews Convention next week and getting to meet some of you face-to-face! Right now I am busy signing postcards for attendees and also working on the edits to my re-release of NOW AND ALWAYS.

Craziness all around, but in that craziness a moment of peace and beauty as I walked through Bryant Park this morning. I thought I’d share it with you and hopefully provide some Spring cheer in what has otherwise been a very cold and very unSpring-like April.

It’s cold outside, so I needed a little something to heat me up. What better than some sexy rugby players.

But first . . . take a moment to visit with me at the fabulous I Smell Sheep website for a very interesting interview!

And now . . . sexy rugby players.

So many and so hard to choose, but here’s one that caught my eye: New Zealander Richard Kahui who plays for the New Zealand All Blacks rugby team and the Chiefs.

But one is not enough today, so click here to check out 25 of the sexiext players, courtesy of CLEO. If you ask me, that Felipe Contepomi from Argentina isn’t so bad on the eyes either. LOL!

I’m off on a trip today, but please drop by The Reading Cafe for more chances to enter the giveaway for the Double Trouble Blog tour!

I know I owe you some video and a giveaway for some great questions. Unfortunately, I’m crazy at work and flying off again today (hopefully!). So please bear with me and instead, take a moment to visit for a fun interview and giveaway at Book Lovin’ Mamas!

Take a moment to visit with me today at Mad Hatter Reads! We have a fun interview up for you today since I’m taking a bit of a break. I’m in the final throes of the edits on the very first book I ever published, namely, my contemporary romance NOW AND ALWAYS. This is the story of a sexy physician, Victor Cienfuegos, who is thrown together with a very determined, yet vulnerable FBI Agent, Connie Gonzalez. It couldn’t be a worse time for them to meet each other as Connie is going undercover to find a serial killer, but you can’t really control when love happens as Connie and Victor soon discover.

The story is set in Miami’s glittering South Beach and it will always be special to me since it was not only my first published release, but the comments from readers about seeing a strong woman as an FBI Agent helped inspire Diana Reyes from THE CALLING/REBORN Vampire novel series.

Here’s what the cover for NOW AND ALWAYS looked like when it was first released. I believe that is John Desalvo on the cover which was very exciting since he was one of the hottest cover models at the time.

Before we get to today’s recipe, please take a moment to visit with me at Wicked Readings blog as part of my Double Trouble blog tour!

Breakfast at the office is always a tough choice, especially as the weather starts getting warmer. During the winter months a few minutes in the microwave and you’ve got a nice bowl of oatmeal to take the winter chill off. In the warmer months, I like to go with something cooler in the morning.

Today I whipped up a strawberry and yogurt breakfast parfait to get my metabolism going, but also provide protein to keep my sugar levels even until lunchtime. Plus, strawberries are such a great source of Vitamin C and antioxidants. Even better, they are in season! That means they are generally cheaper. Buying fruits and veggies that are in season is one way to eat healthy and keep costs down.

So here goes with today’s recipe! It’s tasty, nutritious and only has about 210 calories!

Strawberry and Yogurt Breakfast Parfait

1 serving Dannon Light /n Fit Yogurt (either strawberry or vanilla or really mix it up with blueberry or cherry!)

1/4 cup Grape Nuts Fit Vanilla and Cranberry Cereal

1 cup sliced strawberries

Put half the berries in a bowl/glass. Top with 1/2 the yogurt and 1/8 cup cereal. Repeat with the remaining ingredients!

Enjoy.
