Hi, everyone! Today I wanted to share something fun and new with you. The wonderful folks at Kensington and the equally amazing people at Open Road Media have created this video. Hope you enjoy it! (It will give you a glimpse into my life and into my writing.) Thanks!

It’s round 2 time!!  Yes, Writing With The Stars, Round 2! This time, you get to vote for the best hero and heroine.  All of the finalists have posted their information on the Romantic Times site.  And, of course, I have to give a special shout to my mentee, Dale Mayer!  I’m very proud of Dale and the work that she has done. All of the finalists have amazing talent, and I wish them all well.

First, my apologies for being so quiet this week. Awesome person that I am–well, I awesomely poured my Fruit Loops and a ton of milk on my laptop at the beginning of the week. Guess what happened? Fried laptop. So I’ve been jumping online whenever someone else’s computer is available. My email has been crazy, but I’m getting back on track now. Really!  And I’ve learned a very important lesson: Fruit Loops and laptops don’t mix.  🙁

But on to other news…

On Saturday, I’ll be  driving up to Birmingham, Alabama, for the Southern Magic Reader’s Luncheon.  If you’re in the area, I hope to see you there!  The luncheon will begin at 11 a.m. in the Homewood Public Library.  Looking forward to the fun!

Before I go, I’ve got one more thing to share:

(Thanks to the fantastic folks to Kensington!)

I’m over at Magical Musings today. Talking about holidays, books, and why I am one of THOSE people…

Have you ever thought about writing a novel? Or, have you started a novel before, but you just didn’t finish it? Then November is the month for you. November is National Novel Writing Month.   Here’s the basic goal of NaNoWriMo:  Write one 50,000 word novel in a month.  Think you’re up for the challenge?
