More Updates - In Case You're Wondering.

Okay, Today is the start of a very busy month for me NaNoWriMo started for me today and I am happy to announce that I got up at the arse-crack of dawn and wrote on Taking Chances: Lie to Me 3140 to get me almost to my two day tally - as I have to go to Toowoomba tomorrow. Also just when I thought I was going to get my Aussie Day story done  Bush Bashin' which I still have 4K to go - I got my first round of edits on MLR's Christmas story - Christmastime at Papa Lee's. I am happy to announce that I got them finished today. I am still way behind but my wonderful MLR editor Kimberly Brandt is allowing me two extensions on the Aussie Day and my Warrior Vamps - Sons of Evenmore: The Crimson Grimiore.

Here's hoping that this weekend I get a heap of writing done and catch up on all my late projects... feel free to give me a little nudge when you think I am getting slack.

My Fan-Girl Moments At GRL

Okay everyone, do NOT look at how white my legs are in those shorts - Damn I sure have the Tasmanian tan going, and I haven't even lived in Tassie for at least 18 years. I so should have worn jeans or at least a long skirt. In next years pictures I will look way better - even if I have to get a spray on tan before I go so I don't look like I could stand buck naked in a blinding snowstorm and blend in.

Ethan Day - OMG he is such a beautiful man.

Carol Lynne - I could not believe how nice she was - Em was fan-girling as well.

And The Winner IS!!!

Howloween Blog Hop

Well today is the beginning of the Howloween Blog Hop. and I am supposed to write something Halloween inspired. The sad thing is in my part of Australia we don't really celebrate Halloween. So I am just gonna ramble for a bit.

where you will find other great participants to go trick or treating with.

What does Halloween mean for me, I get to indulge in my love of bats. Okay so maybe I am a little off my rocker because I joined a blog hop for something I never participate in... Though I was just in America. Albuquerque, New Mexico to be exact for GRL and while there I went to a store with Brandi and Erika and I was just amazed by all the Halloween decorations everywhere... the spiders I could live without but I did really enjoy the bats.

Why is it when this time of year rolls around I want to write a shit-load of paranormal stories... I want to immerse myself in the spirit of the day/night etc. This is the time of year that the paranormal and the supernatural all come out to play and have a good time among the land of the living human beings. I always wonder just how thin the veil between the undead and the living truly is at this time of year... mind you I am a 'big ol' fraidy cat' about the scary side of life.

My Give-away

I suppose I should talk about my prize for this blog hop... The truth is I can't remember what I said I would give away (Bad NJ). So instead I will now say I will give away a free ebook from my backlist and a $15 gift certificate to Bookstrand or Amazon... So to be in the chance to win this prize please leave a comment with your contact information... and for a chance to be in the draw twice please feel free to join my blog as a follower or remind me that you are already a follower. I will then choose my winner at the end of the hop.

Good luck to all who participate.

New Cover...

While away this year at GRL I look on my computer between events and sleeping, and find this waiting for me... This picture is simply stunning and Reese Dante has outdone herself yet again. I couldn't think of a better picture for my Werewolf story: A Moon-Runner Christmas.

GRL 2012: Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Well, I should start off by saying that GRL (GayRomLit) is now over and I had an absolute ball. I have met so many wonderful people from all over the world. People who I have know for a year or more on the net and now I can finally put a face to the names... 

Emily was so excited when we got to meet Carol Lynne, who is as nice in person as she is on the net. Me, I had a total fan-girl moment when I met Ethan Day: who by the way is totally adorable. I also got to meet Reese Dante, Yes, I mean THE Reese Dante. 

I also met the lovely, Laura Baumbach and Kris Jacen, who I was so stoked to meet and Lex Valentine who is just as great as I thought she would be... There are just too many people to tell you, but I do have a few I wanna say it was great meeting: Jambi (Jambrea Jo Jones), Z Allora, K-Lee Klein, Erika Orrick, Brandi Roberts, AJ Kelton, AKM Miles, Andrew Grey & Dominic, ZA Maxfield, Gabrielle Evans, Joyee Flynn, Poppy Dennison, Our Helen, The two Crazy Cajuns (Suzette & Aunt Janet) and the Iclandic Princess and her cousin (Erica Pike & Thora).

Lastly I can't forget the Members of P.I.T.O.L (which should stand for Put It On The List - but Embry Carlysle stuffed it up - LOL). The members are as follows.

Kelly McGrath

Embry Carlysle

William Cooper 

Simone Anderson

Cherie Noel

N.J. Nielsen

Emily Saddington

Who weren't afraid to scare the inhabitants of Santa Fe with me - that was the best fun I have ever had. Can't wait to catch up with them all again in the future - somewhere along the line William Cooper became my son... But that is a whole other story...LOL.
