#Vampire Weekend!

We’ve put to bed FOR LOVE OR VENGEANCE: THE REBORN, my September release in THE CALLING/REBORN Vampire novel series and this weekend I’m putting my finishing touches on BORN TO SERVE (sure to be retitled)(October 2013). BORN TO SERVE is the first of the Diana/Ryder stories and I am so hoping you will love seeing what’s happening with these two characters as well as their Scooby Gang of human and undead friends.

So, since this is a vampire weekend, who better than Vampire Weekend with their catchy song A-PUNK. Kick up the volume and if you’re a JUST DANCE fiend like my daughter and me, stand up and dance along!

Hope you all have a Fun Friday and weekend! If you can’t see the video below, you can click here to watch.

Diary of a Sad #Cat

Whether you are a cat owner or a dog person, you will appreciate this look at the world from a cat’s perspective. My favorite is the one about the door and the in-out in-out. Seriously, my cat will sit there and meow, prance out and then in. Out and then in as if it was my role in life to be her doorman.

If there is such a thing as reincarnation, I want to come back as a house cat.

Without further ado, Diary of a Sad Cat. If you can’t see the video below, you can click here!

Have a great weekend!

Fun Friday #HarlemShake

My daughter showed us this video the other day and explained the Harlem Shake. A 30 second clip, part of it with one masked person dancing and then BAM an explosion of others joining in. 30 seconds and no more. Interesting concept to keep it short. Sometimes those viral videos go on for way too long!

So the song has gone viral and there are numerous variations on the Harlem Shake on youtube. This was the one we saw. Amazing to see it filmed underwater and with such clarity. This one is from the UGA Men’s Swim & Dive Team.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Once Upon a #Romance Short, Fun & Flirty

Several years ago, my fabulous friend Lois Winston had three short stories published in charity anthologies. The rights to these stories recently reverted to her and she’s taken these stories and one more and published them as an ebook. ONCE UPON A ROMANCE, Four Short Love Stories, is now available for Kindle, and should be available for Nook, Kobo, etc. within the next few days.

If you get a moment, please check it out and give it some some love with likes/tags, etc.

Or feel free to give a shout out like this:

And now for some additional Friday Fun, here is a “Red Band” trailer for Sandra Bullock’s new movie THE HEAT with the always funny Melissa McCarthy. “Red Band” means the clip is for mature audiences, so if you’re not over 17, please don’t watch. My family and I love the comment at the end about the engagement! Check it out.

Fun Friday

I again want to thank all of you for your understanding, thoughts and well-wishes during the storm and its aftermath. I’ve shared some pictures of the damage in our towns and you can click here to see them.

Just to see the difference, check out the photo below of the Bradley Beach Centennial Fountain and then click here to see it now.

But for all the damage the ocean can do, it can also provide so much joy. I had some of that joy while I was down in South Carolina for the amazing Low Country Masterclass Retreat. It was wonderful to meet with so many interesting men and women and share what we all know about the craft and business of writing. I’ve posted some photos on Facebook for you and you can click here to see them!

Those little blobs you see in the ocean are dolphins. At one point we were only a few feet away from them. Amazing.

Here is some video of the dolphins!
