Hi! I'm happy to announce that I have the cover art of my latest novel. So far, no release date, but it will be sometime this year. But the cover art is so beautiful that I had to share.

Hi! It's been forever since I've been on here. I'm trying to get better at the blogging thing. Just wanted to let you know that I will be blogging at The Wild Rose Press Black Rose blog tomorrow. Although I had a bit of trouble posting (as in I hit the publish post button instead of the post options button, it's been a long day) so it's up now a whole day early. Sigh. But at least it's up and running as opposed to deleted and lost in cyberspace. :) Here's the link:

Valentine's Day

2010-02-15T21:01:00.002-06:00

Ok, ok, I know it's a bit late for Valentine's Day, but better late than never, right?? Sure. Anyway, just wanted to say that I had a wonderful time this weekend. On Saturday fellow DARA authors and I were invited to speak at Bonham's library. This was a lot of fun! My first author speech and I did ok. I think. The crowd was wonderful and the library staff was so nice. I'm really hoping they will invite me back. Preferably sometime when there's not snow and frozen fog. So here's a thank you to the wonderful people of the Bonham library!

On to Valentine's Day. We decided this year not to go out to eat, but instead stayed home. After all, the Olympics are on and we needed to cheer on our team. The hubby bought me a beautiful bonsai azalea plant with red blossoms. What a wonderful hubby! I love plants. They crowd all the sunny windows in the house.

Did anyone else have a good Valentine's Day?

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! I love this day. All the wonderful smells, the family gathering, my hubby cooking. Yep, I don't cook. He does a much better job than I ever could. It's a beautiful day here. Hope it is where you are at too.

Have a blessed day!

Halloween a day late

2009-11-01T19:05:00.002-06:00

Well, I meant to post yesterday and forgot. Bad me. We had a great Halloween. It's always nice to have trick or treaters come by. This year we're left with more candy than what we were last year. Yummy! LOL. The moon is full today and the ghosts are in hiding. Hopefully. :) What did you do for Halloween/Samhain?

Hope you had a good one!

Thoughts on a Sunday night

2009-10-11T19:35:00.002-05:00

Hi! Today I went to the Buns & Roses event, supporting the Adult Literacy Center. I love this event b/c I feel like I'm giving to the community, by helping support literacy. Plus there are all these wonderful authors there that you can meet and greet and have them sign books. It's a great event if you ever think of attending.

Speaking of authors and new releases, yep, my short story is coming out this Friday and I'm getting really excited. In case you haven't been able to tell. :) So, I wanted to give you an excerpt that will hopefully whet your appetite for the story. Here goes:

“Your dog doesn’t respect you.” Vonda reached down to scratch behind Sam’s ear. “I can help you with that problem, but I can’t help train him to herd. Do we have a deal?”
Tom took off his hat, scratched his head and slammed it back on as if to hold in steam. Judging from the color of his face, he should have let his hair wave free in the breeze. It might cool things off. One long finger pointed at Sam. One nicely shaped, work hardened finger. The list of things that finger could do to her body rushed through Vonda’s brain on fast forward. It didn’t help that the man whose finger provoked such lascivious thoughts was the best-looking thing in this little Podunk town.
Why was she thinking such thoughts? Concentrate, Vonda, concentrate! Last time she thought this way about a man she was in heat. Oh shit. Not again. No wonder Sam stuck to her like proverbial glue.
Wait. Tom’s mouth was moving. “...me?”
“Huh? I’m sorry, what did you say?” Good job Vonda, way to look stupid on your first visit with a client.
“I said, how can that dog not respect me?”
“Well, dogs see things differently than humans. If you don’t act like the alpha, then they assume they are the alpha. That’s what creates problems. That’s where I can help.”
“Yes, yes. I know. But I have other herding dogs. None of them give me problems. What’s up with that?” A frustrated green stare bored into her.
Men frustrated so easily. Humans in general. Ever see a canine with hypertension?
Sam licked her hand. Then she smelled it. The scent of a man. Not just any man. A man she wanted to mate with. A man about six four, with sandy blond, almost brown hair and green eyes. A man who stood less than three feet from her.
Damn hormones.
If she didn’t get out of here soon she’d lose any chance of ever being a dog trainer.

Until next time...

Countdown to release date

2009-10-05T20:11:00.002-05:00

Greetings on this lovely, damp evening! At least that's what it's like in my neck of the woods. I've got to admit, I'm starting to get nervous about the release date. It's like this whole year I've waited for this moment and now that it's almost here, I have the shivers. Guess that's normal. Putting your work out for public consumption is a little nerve wracking, even if you've had a whole year to prepare. :) I'll get used to it! Check back again for another countdown message. I'll still be here, chewing on my nails.

Welcome!
