If so, then I’ve got a website for you! The hubby sent me a link to these zombie pictures–along with a very strong hint that he’d love a couple portrait. For $80 ($160 for the couple pic) you will receive a portrait depicting you (and/or a loved one) as a gloriously grotesque zombie.

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you all have a great holiday–eat lots of turkey and dressing and enjoy your day!

I thought I’d list a few of the things I was thankful for:

1. The baby boy who is currently sleeping on my lap.
2. The husband who let me sleep in today because I was feeling a bit under the weather.
3. The mother who bought me so many books when I was growing up.
4. The friend who walked for hours with me on Monday–shopping, hunting for bargains, and eating cookies in the cold.
5. The book I finished writing just a few weeks ago.
6. The house that isn’t as clean as it should be, but, well, it’s mine and that’s all that matters.
7. The Christmas tree that will come down from the attic soon and fill my son with wonder.
8. The turkey thawing in the fridge–when it’s prepared, it might not be a Martha Stewart wonder, but I think it’ll be edible.
9. The people who love me and who I love–even when we drive each other crazy (which can be quite often!)
10. The holiday movie I’ll watch with my niece this weekend–and the hot chocoloate we will drink.

What about you? What are you thankful for?

I am very pleased to announce that I now have an agent. I recently signed with Laura Bradford of the Bradford Literary Agency. I’m thrilled to be working with Laura–she seems like a great lady. Laura will soon work on pitching my latest story, a paranormal romance tentatively titled, Touching the Darkness.

Signing with Laura has definintely made me feel like Christmas came early at my house. (First my lovely RT article and cover, and now Laura–life seems really nice right now!).

Oh, the joy. My favorite psychic will be back on TV tonight–yep, supermom extraordinaire Allison Dubois will be talking to the dead again on Medium. The show scheduled for tonight will be 2 hours long (get the popcorn ready!). Allison, I have missed you!

And in other news, well, I do have some very exciting news (at least it’s exciting to me!) and I will post a lovely blog about it very soon. No, I’m not trying to build the drama–I just have to go now.

After days of acting like a stalker at my local bookstores, I finally managed to snag a copy of the December Romantic Times! Woo-hoo! I was so excited as I read the article about Red Sage–I truly think Alexandria Kendall has done a fabulous job of creating this publishing company. She knows the romance industry VERY well and she works so well with her authors.

There was a quote from me in the article–yep, completely made my day! But wait…an excerpt from The Wolf’s Mate (featured in Secrets, Volume 18) was also included in the magazine! Talk about Christmas coming early! I was reading the article, hands shaking with excitement, and it took me a good five minutes to notice the fact that my excerpt had been included. When I finally noticed it, I do remember giving out a happy little shriek.

There were actually a few items in the Romantic Times that caused me to give that happy shriek. Here’s another one: Apparently, there will be production of grapic novels based on Buffy–these stories should be the equivalent of Season Eight of the series. Josh Wheddon will write the first four and the last four issues of the comic.

What else got me excited in this issue? The 4.5 stars that Secrets, Volume 18 received and the fact that MaryJanice Davidson is launching a mermaid series (I really love her books!). Also, Jeri Smith-Ready, a talented writer I was lucky enough to chat with at the Atlanta RWA, was listed as one of the upcoming “writers to watch” in this issue. I think I may have missed a few other important points in the issue (due to my overwhelming glee) so I’ll re-read it later today.
