Twas A Coyote Christmas and a Contest!


Okay, a LOT going on this week for me. My MIL is heading home a day late thanks to the storm that hammered the east coast; 'Twas A Coyote Christmas is up on my website as a free read; and I'm running the contest for Noble Blood, which comes out January 18! I'll also have an announcement soon, some really good news I hope you guys have been waiting for.

Christmas here was the usual "AAAAGHHHHHH! OMG! OMG! I FORGOT THE SUSHI! WHERE"S J'S PRESENT! WHY CAN"T I WRAP THIS! AAAAAAHHHH!" type holiday that we usually experience here in the insane asylum I call home. Wrapping paper flew, fish was consumed and the kids screamed themselves... okay, they weren't the ones who went hoarse, but you know what I mean. I think my MIL might be in culture shock, but that's okay. We introduced her to the Rifftrax of Plan Nine From Outer Space and finished the job but good.

So I'm over halfway done with Howl For Me and I've done a general plot for Cynful. I'm going to fully outline that soon, and scenes are already running through my head for it. I can't wait to revisit Tabby, Bunny, Julian, Cyn, Ryan and Glory again. And there's going to be an extra-special scene where Julian puts the smack-down on Jim for Chloe's sake.

P.S.: Oh! To top off my Christmas, I found out I've been nominated for the CAPA's at The Romance Studio! Look for Eye of the Beholder, Bear Necessities and Shadow of the Wolf! WOOT! That was one of the best presents I got this year.

P.P.S.: Dusty has a very dirty mind. He took one look at the cover I'd worked so hard on for Coyote Christmas and asked if the ornament arrangement was, um, deliberate.

In Order To Be A Successful Blogger...

I read an article recently about how to become a successful blogger. The number one way? Write a post every day.

Um.

My life just isn't that exciting, and when it is, I'm too damn busy to blog. "Hours of boredom followed by moments of stark terror" would about sum it up.

So, here's what I would blog if I did it every day:

Monday
Ick. Nuff said.

Tuesday
New release day and No Boundaries refresh day! And M, put that down! You could put someone's eye out.

Wednesday

Cookies!

Thursday
Friday Eve and No Boundaries refresh day! (R, why oh why did you pick trombone? Flutes are nice, not girly!)

Friday
Wait... was I supposed to write this week?

Saturday
Quick, hide! The kids are home!

Sunday
Pajama Sunday/Ravioli day. Unless we're at Nana's. Then she expects odd things like "clothing" and "shoes".


Yeah. That about sums it up.

So I doubt I'll ever be a "successful" blogger, but at least when I post you know it's because I have something to say or share, right? Right?

C'mon, throw me a bone here, people!

Oh, all right. Would it help if I told you I was contemplating a "Free Read" entry once a week? Just not on Tuesdays and Thursdays; I'm busy reading TA Chase's blog that day...
