Have you checked out the new Sensual site?  It’s great–and, how cool–they posted an interview with me!

If all goes as planned (that means no house disasters today), I’ll finish up the rough draft of my WIP tonight.  Very cool–you see, when I finish, that means I get to reward myself for a few days (before I start the re-reading and editing process) with some really great books.  And luckily for me, there are some wonderful books waiting for me.

Here’s what I’m planning to read (not in my reading order because that will vary, and, yes, I am one of those folks who often reads more than one book at once!!):

1. Wicked Game by Jeri Smith-Ready. The book officially releases today and I can’t wait to get started reading this one!  Vampires and a con artist–come on, what more could I want?

2. The Third Circle by Amanda Quick.  My son gave me this book for Mother’s Day, and sure, I’ve only had it for what? A day and a half? But it has been so HARD not to give into temptation on this one.

3.  I’ve been given a sneak peek–I get to read Marissa Scott‘s manuscript–and this story looks like it will be great! Thanks for the preview, Marissa!

There are more, of course, but I need to get started on my re-read pretty fast–I’ve got a deadline coming up (and birthdays–mine and the hubby’s), so the other books may have to wait until I come up for a second rest.

Any books that I should put on my list?  I’m always ready to add more!

I’m guest blogging today over at Karin Tabke’s blog.  (Karin writes some very sexy Hot Cops stories–and she has a great  looking historical romance,  Master of Surrender, scheduled to be released VERY soon).  At Karin’s blog, I’m talk about the joy of escapism–and I’m giving away an autographed book, too.  🙂  If you have the chance, do drop by and comment for a chance to win.

And in other news…I am two days away from completing the rough draft of my WIP–yay!!! I’m currently on page 421 and I can see the end.  (Always fun.)  Speaking of seeing things…I recently saw Ironman at the movies–loved that show!  One of the best movies (with a fantastic flawed hero) that I’ve seen in months.

I hope all of the Mother’s out there have a fabulous day–one full of relaxation and pampering. (And a special Happy Mother’s Day to you, Mom!!  I’ll be seeing you soon with goodies.)

In addition to visiting my mom, I plan to spend the day with my son, feeding ducks at the park, lazing in the sun, and eating ice cream. Ah, my kind of day.

Then, later tonight, I’ll be on Internet Voices Radio because, in case you didn’t know, Mother’s Day is also the official kick-off of Bear Awareness Week.  Here’s the info:

On May 11th from 9.00 pm Eastern Time until 11 pm, Romance authors Carrie Masek, Sandy Lender, Cynthia Eden, Angie Fox, Lise Fuller (and perhaps a surprise guest) join Rowena Cherry to promote awareness of bears and any other large, scary, hairy or otherwise creatures that inhabit the woods… or our romantic imaginations.

I’ve got an interview up over at Love Romances and More.  This interview focuses a lot on the writing process–which I really enjoyed talking about, by the way.

Hope you’re having a wonderful Saturday!
