Today I am....

=> Again I got up before the rest of the household and began working on my NaNo story - I got another couple of K done bringing my total up to 5,420... but apparently the NaNoWriMo site doesn't like me today and won't let me log in to up date my stuff - I will keep trying all day until I get it done.

=> I am determined to finish my bloody Aussie Day story today - I was at the Doctors yesterday with Em and then did some running around for our company so I didn't get a damn thing done. I need to get it to my Beta today.

=> Did I tell you I bought a trampoline... and no not for my kiddo, because as most of you know she is 22 (almost 23). I got it for me the Doctor said it is a great way to exercise... I had to get one with a safety net as most people who know me know how much of a klutz I am... I will let you know how it's going - or - how many bruises I have accumulated. I am hoping the hubs can put it together for me today - and wouldn't you know it - it looks like it is about to piss down rain. (After seeing pictures of myself at GRL I decided next year the pictures will look way better - I don't want to be supper thin or anything I just want to be healthier. Em has me on a better eating and exercise routine. .. Remind me later and I will give you an update on what is happening with me, (after GRL I came home and I was 104 kg or 229.2 lbs). I can happily say I have lost some since then I am calling the regime... Project HEA 2013 = Healthier eating Alternative & 2013 because I will keep going until GRL 2013.

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.

Howloween Blog Hop Events Page

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

270+ Authors

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.
