It was all a mistake!!!

Got up, grabbed my computer before coffee, clicked the Samhain bookmark, and grinned in excitement - until I looked at the page (the home page shows todays new releases, don’t cha know).  No Sasha.  No Cat Shifter book at all.  I’m frowning now.  Clicking to the Coming Soon.  Nothing.  They’re not there, either.
Hysterics bubble up.  I’ve [...]

*grins*  Our darling Angie was the guest blogger at Write Minded today.  Did I mention she’s totally awesome?

She started it like this: 
“Do you remember your first time?
The excitement, the nerves, the almost painful anticipation of something you wanted so much…and yet were afraid of all at the same time?”
Let me tell you, I’m so excited, [...]

Today, I took a leap.  I created my yahoo group.  It’s called Paranormal Society and I hope it can be a forum for active discussion on all sorts of things.  It is, first and foremost, a social loop.  Come join us at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/paranormalsociety/ for all the fun, conversation, and the occasional update from me.

Maggie Awards

Well, the Maggie Awards were a night to remember.
Yes, I won my category - and Chessie Welker came in second!  She’s a wonderful person and I can’t wait to see what she does next!

My Maggie Finalist manuscript is in the top 3 at the Romance Junkies contest!  Now, it’s off to Dorchester and the final round of judging.  I’m not really expecting to win; however, it’s very very cool to be in the top 3. 
Speaking of Angelic Avenger, the finals of the Maggie Awards will be announced this [...]

Waiting and Moving On

*sigh*
The excitement is dwindling down around here.  Three weeks until we find out about the Maggie Awards, where my long manuscript is in the finals in the Paranormal catagory.  I’ve got my outfit ready, my hotel reservations for the conference in hand, my new business cards ready to go, and working on my pitch.
 My contracts [...]

I got THE CALL!

http://nicemommy-evileditor.com/blog/
I got THE CALL.  Actually, it was the email, but HEY, it’s the same thing.  Bottom line:  I’m going to be published.  Not only published by Samhain Publishing, but ebook and print, too.
I’ve been pinching myself since Monday.  Once things settle down, I’ll give more details on the story.  Lord, my heart is still in [...]

Hello world!

Welcome to my world where the voices in my head rival the chaos around here for supremacy. 
 First, a little about me.
 I’m a military wife, mother, and author. 
 What do I write?  I’m so glad you asked.  *grins* Mostly urban fantasy with a few romance novels thrown in.  In fact, I entered my long manuscript (96,000 painful [...]
