Yep, I’m blogging over at The Bradford Bunch. At the Bunch, I’ve posed the question:  What makes a heroine too stupid to live?

If you’ve got an answer to share, come visit!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who entered my recent ARC contests (the contest posted here on my blog and also my newsletter-only contest–cause, yep, I was running one of those, too!). I loved reading all of the responses to my quiz–and I am so glad that people enjoyed my Creature Feature!

Now, for the first winner…from my newsletter contest…the winner is:  Teresa W.   Congratulations, Teresa!!!

(Quick note, there will be more newsletter contests to come, so if you haven’t signed up to receive my newsletter, you can do so here.)

To the next winner….

The winner of my CREATURE FEATURE QUIZ and FREE ARC blog posting contest is:  Stacia H. Congratulations to you, too, Stacia!

(Winners–I’ll send you an email soon about your prize!)

Again, thank you to everyone who entered my blog contest and my newsletter contest.

Have a great day!

(Note: I’m keeping this post at the top of my blog until my contest is over. If you’d like to read new posts, just scroll down a bit. Thanks!)

Question One: Am I the only one who has always wondered…If I were a paranormal character, just which character would I be? (Seriously, the question has kept me awake at night.) Well, if you’ve been curious, wonder no more! Just mosey over and take my Creature Feature Quiz. Go ahead, release your inner demon(s).

Question Two: Would you like to win an autographed Advanced Reader’s Copy of WHEN HE WAS BAD? (WHEN HE WAS BAD is the June 08 Kensington Brava anthology that includes my story, Wicked Ways, and the great Shelly Laurenston’s tale, Miss Congeniality.)

If you’d like to win an ARC, this is what you need to do:

1. Take my Creature Feature Quiz.

2. Post your results in the comments area of this post.

3. Um, that’s it! Comments just need to be posted between February 14th and February 20th. On February 21st, I’ll be back to select one winner.

Easy, huh?

I’m featured in the current issue of The Motivated Writer. My segment is “Creative Spaces with Paranormal Author Cynthia Eden.” I had a great time answering the interview questions–and, hey, if you’re curious about my workspace, The Motivated Writer has a picture of my domain. 🙂

I am actually feeling amazingly motivated right now–writing wise, anyway. I wrote 15 pages yesterday and 15 today, and I feel like I know exactly where I want this current story to go. I love it when I feel like I have good control of a story and the plot is all planned out and just waiting for me. Yay! Maybe I’ll finish the rough draft by Sunday.

So, since we’re on the topic of motivation, how do you stay motivated?

Larissa Ione (who has one awesome paranormal book coming out soon–I can’t wait to get my hands on Unleashing the Storm) has tagged me to reveal six uninteresting facts about myself. A few days ago, I revealed some other uninteresting facts in answer to a tag from chapter mate Amber Leigh Williams. Luckily, I am a woman who has many, many uninteresting facts to share! 🙂

The rules are:

1. Link back to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Share six unimportant things about yourself.
4. Tag six random people at the end of your blog entry.
5. Let the tagged people know by leaving a comment on their blogs.

And here are my new facts:

1. I plan to watch Dexter tonight. I’ve heard so much hype about this show and I’m thrilled to get to see it on CBS.

2. It’s raining at my house right now, and, for most of the morning, I’ve been singing I love a rainy night….Even though I’m not sure that’s a real song–and it’s not night-time.

3. I love to drink chocolate milk shakes.

4. I hate waiting in long lines–drives me crazy.

5. I have over 2000 books in my personal library.

6. One of my favorite shows from the Fall 2007 season was America’s Psychic Challenge. And, yes, I do believe there are people in this world who have psychic abilities. I couldn’t watch the show and not be a believer.

Since this is my second round, I won’t tag anyone, but if you want to share some fun (or, um, uninteresting) facts, please post ’em in my comments section! Happy Sunday!
