Thursday 13 – Girl Crushes

Girl Crush. Urban Dictionary defines it in various ways. I’ll simplify by saying that it’s fondness and/or affection and/or attraction and/or admiration for another woman, whether sexual or not sexual. I’ve heard many a woman mention girl crushes of one kind or another so today, I’m sharing some of those (and they also include girl crushes on some fictional characters!).

I may not get to 13 on this, so please jump in and leave a comment with any girl crushes you can think of!

1. Eve Dallas from the IN DEATH Series
2. Kate Beckinsale
3. Evangeline Lilly
4. Jennifer Garner
5. Emma Watson
6. Natalie Portman
7. Selene from Underworld (And Yeah, there will be a #4 and Kate Beckinsale will be back!)
8. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
9. Sarah Michelle Gellar
10. Wonder Woman
11. Stephanie Plum
12. Anne Hathaway
13. Sandra Bullock

A VAMPIRE FOR CHRISTMASSharing with you this cool widget for A VAMPIRE FOR CHRISTMAS from the Mills & Boon site! Fun to see the different cover that they’ve put on the book in the United Kingdom. You can click on the widget to browse through the first few pages and chapter of the book.

Please don’t forget to join me on THE LOST blog tour! Today I am at Getting Naughty Between the Stacks where if you leave a comment you may win a LOST T-shirt and a copy of my e-book, ROOKIE OF THE YEAR.

Tuesdays Off and THE CALLING Vampire Series

I may be taking Tuesdays off at the blog as I’m busy editing ROOKIE OF THE YEAR as well as developing the concept for BORN TO DIE which will be the next book in THE CALLING. I am so excited because this story will focus on Diana and Ryder and a momentous change that is about to happen in their lives. I plan to release BORN TO DIE in March 2012. Even more exciting, with BORN TO DIE I plan on relaunching THE CALLING series in a new direction. Think X-FILES meets BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER. Each story will revolve around Diana and Ryder and the many characters you’ve come to know and love from THE CALLING. Each story will be a new and unique paranormal suspense and I hope you’ll like this new direction in the series.

For today, I leave you with a reminder about THE LOST blog tour! Today’s stop is at YzhaBella’s BookShelf and you can leave a comment there for a chance to win a copy of the ROOKIE OF THE YEAR e-book.

Sexy Men of Summer

It’s October and a girl’s thoughts turn to…BASEBALL! Again. Tuning it to watch all the playoff games and appreciating all those fine-looking men. Also working on edits to my baseball romance, ROOKIE OF THE YEAR. This contemporary romance had been acquired by Kensington Publishing many years ago and now that I’ve got my rights back, I’m ready to re-release it!

So with all these fine-looking men of summer, it’s tough to choose just one for today! Because of that, I’m sending you to Cosmopolitan for their choices for the 9 sexiest men on the ball field. You can click here or copy and paste this link:

I’ll forgive them for leaving off David Wright, Chase Utley, Cliff Lee and others, but they did provide some nice eye candy I had not known about before.

Remember that today starts THE LOST blog tour. Drop by and leave comments at each blog for a chance to win a LOST T-shirt and a copy of the e-book for ROOKIE OF THE YEAR when it’s released. We will be picking a winner at every blog.
