I entered my trailer for HOTTER AFTER MIDNIGHT in The New Covey Trailer Awards Contest–and voting is now open! If you’d like to see some really interesting trailers (I love watching book trailers–I’m always curious about what different folks use to create their teasers.), follow the link and have fun viewing the trailers!

I finished the rough draft of my WIP this week–yay! And now, I’ll tackle the editing and revising. This morning, I’ve spent a lot of time researching Irish accents. The hero of this story hails from Dublin, and, though his accent has waned over the years, the Irish creeps into his voice when he’s upset. I did some research before I began the story, but now that I’m in rewriting mode, I want to make certain I’ve got the right expressions and slang. As part of my research, I watched lots of Irish accent videos on YouTube–and I’ve got to say, those accents are sexy. Am I the only one who loves a guy with an accent?

I also discovered that EVERLASTING BAD BOYS (featuring my novella, Spellbound, as well as stories by Shelly Laurenston and Noelle Mack) is up for pre-order at Amazon! The official release date for the book is listed as August 26, 2008.

Thanks again to everyone who entered my recent contests (both newsletter and blog!). I’ve set aside a few more ARCs to give as prizes–so stay tuned! More contests will be coming!

Enjoy your Sunday! I’m off to start editing my story.

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!

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).
