Weekend Roundup!

The weekend was fine, I’m diving into EXPOSING THE HEIRESS, tightening it up before I finish writing it.

Mother’s Day was nice and quiet. Usually it’s kind of madhouse so this was nice. Oh last week Wizard says,

“Mother’s Day is coming up. Should we order flowers or do something for my mom?”

I looked up from the computer. “Already done. They’ll be delivered Saturday.”

Dead silence. Wizard’s just standing there.

So I frowned, getting kind of worried that he’d had something else in mind. “Everything okay?”

“Yep.” He grinned at me. “Mother’s Day is taken care of. Damn I’m good.” And he strolled off.

I think he might have been serious. Men! Of course his mother called to thank us, and talked to ME because she knows better. And I thanked her for Wizard. Seriously–that woman gave me one of the four greatest gifts of my life–Wizard. (The other three are my boys).

I’m going into my writing cave to conquer this book and I have to write a speech for June, so I might be rather scarce over the next five weeks. But I usually miss you all and HAVE to check in :-)

How was your weekend and Mother’s Day?

Happy Friday and Mother’s Day!

I sent my 2nd pass edits off for COWBOY MARINE last night!  (Note: title is changing, should have new title next week, and the book comes out in July).  We had to cut about 7K words. My editor did the major cutting, then my job was to clean it all up and make it work. That was challenge as I had to pull out minor plot threads and still keep the flow of the story–no idea if I’ve succeeded. Another editor will read it before it even goes to copy editing (Entangled does a LOT of editing, which is a good thing), so I should know soon.

I need to get back to EXPOSING THE HEIRESS right away. But first, I’m going to try to go to the gym and then run some errands.  I’ll start back in on that book this afternoon.

Wizard and I need a vacation. He may go with me to Florida in the fall (a small conference) but I’m thinking we should do a weekend away this summer.  I won’t take “real” time off if  we’re at home. I think it’d be good for us just to take a weekend somewhere Any suggestions?

And this weekend is…

Wednesday Worthy BUSTED!

I can’t believe this…so I was planning my normal post for a Wednesday Worthy Hunk Candidate when the blog gets raided!

By this guy…

Handsome Muscular Policeman Posing.

He swears he’s a cop and he’s investigating the blog.

Should I believe him???

Weekend Roundup

The weekend was busy with work. I got line edits for COWBOY MARINE (title is changing) and that’s going to take up this week. They need to be done ASAP.  My poor work-in-progress keeps getting put on hold, and I so want to get Hunt and Alyssa’s story right–it’s nagging me incessantly. This book changed so much from my original plot, but I really like the friends-to-lovers thing they have going.  There’s also a Runaway Bride, Blackmail and I always seem to have a tortured hero in there too.

But right now, I need to get this line edits/revisions done. What’s really nice is the both editors who’ve worked on this book really like it. I’m relieved to hear that!  (You should hear poor Wizard when I tell him this–he can’t fathom why I’m always surprised, but I truly am.).

We did go look at a new housing track that we’d been waiting to open–but the one story house there just isn’t for us.  It’s always fun to look at new houses. It’s almost a hobby now. But it looks like we’ll be staying here for a while. 

How was your weekend?

Happy Friday and News!

I hope this blog posts at the correct time. The server is doing some maintenance over night so it may be delayed. If the blog shows up late, that’s why. For once it’s not my fault, LOL

And here’s my news: I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve sold the Brazilian Portuguese rights for THE PROPOSITION (book 1 of The Plus One Chronicles) to Editora Charme Publisher in Brazil. I’m really excited about it! The editor there contacted me, and then we were half way through negotiations when my Internet crashed. Thankfully I was able to email the editor through my phone and let her know. She was very understanding and patient. We just concluded and signed the deal yesterday.

Between this deal and the German one, Kat and Sloane are turning into world travelers :-) I can honestly say that I never imagined this happening when I sat down to write these books. All I cared about was finding the best way to tell their story that meant so much to me.

My weekend will be all work. Real Life keeps infringing on my writing time, and I know edits for THE COWBOY MARINE  (I just got work that we’ll be changing the title) are coming my way soon. On top of that, Ryan and I are still working on the audio for POSSESSION. We’re almost there, though!

What are you doing this weekend?
