If you live in the Western Hemisphere, tonight’s sky will feature a magnificent Blue Moon.
The modern definition is that it’s the second full moon in a single month.
(If you live in the Eastern Hemisphere, the Blue Moon will fall in June).
Grab your sweetie, take a walk outside, and spoon a little.

In other news, the ladies of Dear Jane have come up with a great new reader’s website called Romantic Advances, which will make it easier to find the books (and books soon to be released) you’re looking for.

Kiss that book budget goodbye, lol!

CONGRATULATIONS to AMIE STUART on the release of her Kensington Aphrodisia book, HANDS ON!

I’m blogging at the CHICA’S site today.

(From an actual conversation at work, I swear…only the names have been omitted to protect the insane…)

A thirty-eight year old mother of three stood in the midst of our small circle, aggressively voicing her opinion about one of our local sports stars, a young man of twenty-two.

“I don’t think he’s doing a very good job of handling this celebrity thing,” she said, pointing an accusing finger. “Other young men look up to him. He should be a roll model for them, set a good example. But no–he’s out there buying all these fancy cars and houses, partying with the big names…I’m telling you this: If I were his mother, I’d have him investing all those millions wisely. Building up his portfolio. Looking out for his future, and that of his children. And I know he does some charity work, but he should give more to the neighborhoods, take boys under his wing and help them better themselves. Shame on him.”

A voice from the outside circle chimed in. “And what would you tell your daughter if she were his girlfriend?”

“What would I say to her?” She planted her hand on her hip. “I’d say, ‘Girl, what in the world are you doing? You’ve been going out with this money-making man for six months now, and you’re not pregnant?? What’s the problem? Pills? You mean to tell me you’re using birth control?! Gimme those damn pills! What the hell is wrong with you?…’”

Opens Friday!!

I’m really late posting this, and yes, it seems like forever since the last time I said the words…

But I’ve sold another book.

It’s called “The Last Man On Earth”, and it’ll be e-published by Samhain Publishing.

I so enjoyed writing this story. It’s a sort of pseudo-horror, mock-sci-fi, old haunted house complete with alien invasion and love and sex during the Apocalypse sort of story.
And breaking at least half a dozen “no-nos for romance writing” rules in the process made it even more fun.
Not to mention the fact that it actually starts with the sentence, “It was a dark and stormy night.”
I’ve always wanted to use that (thank you, Bulwer-Lytton and Snoopy).

And thanks for all the congrats already received, and again to Sybil , who was kind enough to give me a boost.

It’s been a long dry spell. But remember—even when you’re tired and discouraged and waterlogged and weary…KEEP SWIMMING!!

While you’re practicing your backstroke, head on over to the CHICAS site. All excerpts are posted, and all you have to do is guess who’s who to win.
Winners will be chosen Monday!
