Fast Food Friday!

I don’t know about you, but Fridays are typically Fast Food Fridays in my house. After a long week of work, it’s time to kick up our feet, forget the diet (ack – lifestyle change!) and relax! What better way than to allow someone else to do the cooking?

Most Fridays in the summer are Five Guys Fridays. Awesome burgers made fresh on the spot with your choice of 15 – yes FIFTEEN – free toppings you can put on your burger!

You’ve got your choice of Mayo, Relish, Onions, Lettuce, Pickles, Tomatoes, Grilled Onions, Grilled Mushrooms, Ketchup, Mustard, Jalapeno, Peppers, Green Peppers, A-1 Sauce, Bar-B-Q Sauce, or Hot Sauce.

Wish I could think up a jingle to rattle all those off.

And let’s not forget Five Guys Fries. Totally awesome. Fried in peanut oil.

You can become a Five Guys Fanatic and download some wallpapers at the site. I decided to bling mine with a little topping of Caridad! Hope they don’t mind.

What about you? What’s your favorite Friday night ritual to help you unwind from the stress of the week?

Thoughts on Absolute Power, Good and Evil. . .

I’m going to be doing some quest blogging and one of the things on my mind for the guest blog has been “Why are paranormals still so popular? What is that keeps on pulling readers back for more?”

For me it’s about the eternal struggle of good and evil and what happens when someone has immense power. You know that whole, absolute power corrupts absolutely. I guess it’s why the Founding Fathers developed a unique system of checks and balances on the various branches of government and why the press needs to be free of government interference.

But I digress…

Imagine absolute power. Would you use it for good or evil? Is anything ever absolutely good or evil?

Whenever I sit down to write a book, that’s one of the first questions that I ask myself about each and every one of the characters. I’m much more intrigued by people who aren’t perfect and yet choose to use their power in the right way.

What about you? What keeps you coming back to the paranormal genre? I’d like to know so that I can include your thoughts in the blog I’m going to write!

There will be a beautiful gold Aztec-style butterfly, a silver SONY PRS300SC E-Reader Pocket Edition, Gift cards, delicious Bath & Body Works goodies, t-shirts, hats and books. But I’d like to know from you what kinds of things you like to see in contests and whether you tweet them, share them on your Facebook and Myspace pages, list them on your sites, etc.

To thank you for the comments you post below, I will pick one of you to win a copy of SINS OF THE FLESH and a STRONGER THAN SIN t-shirt!

Just leave a comment by midnight EST Friday, June 18th for a chance to win those goodies.

Thoughtful Thursday – Help Our Fight

About a year ago I joined a group of writers who wanted to share with others their love of doing different things. Because of that spirit of daring, we decided to call ourselves Danger Women Writing. In the year that followed, we’ve found out a lot about each other personally, offered support for our writing endeavors and most important of all, become friends with each other and the women on our loop – our Dangerous Readers!

Today we’re joining together for something different and even more important – to help our friend and Dangerous Woman Jennifer Haymore fight breast cancer. Please take a moment to visit Jennifer and also download one of these graphics for your website, blog or social media site. We’ve got a wide selection of items available at the Danger Women Writing Fight Breast Cancer store to help Jennifer and others like her beat Breast Cancer.

Guilty Pleasures Monday – Ashton Kutcher

Photo Credit: David Shankbone@en.wikipedia.comOkay, my daughter thinks I’m crazy, but I think Ashton Kutcher is really cute. With the release of his new movie KILLERS this weekend, I figured he would be an appropriate Guilty Pleasures Monday.

In KILLERS, Ashton plays an assassin who just wants to have a normal life. Enter Katherine Heigl, a sweet and unsuspecting woman that Ashton meets and marries. The two of them then lead an ordinary life until three years later it appears that someone has placed a hit on Ashton, forcing them to go on the run for their lives!

Sounds like a fun romantic comedy and Ashton is a hottie. If you haven’t caught the trailer for KILLERS, here it is (and we get the added eye candy of Tom Selleck is in the movie!).

If you can’t see the video below, you can click here to see the KILLERS trailer or cut and paste this link into your browser:

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Fun Friday – Interview with Cathy Clamp and CT Adams

I am so excited to have with me on this Fun Friday USA Today Bestselling Authors Cathy Clamp and CT Adams writing as Cat Adams. I had the opportunity to interview Cathy and CT at the RT BookReviews Convention and they were kind enough to give me a behind the scenes look at their novel BLOOD SONG. BLOOD SONG is their June 2010 release from Tor Books and the first book in their new Blood Singers series. It sounds like a winner which is definitely going on my summer TBR pile!
