Hoppy Easter Blog Hop

It's that time of the year again...

Yes, it is time for the Hoppy Easter Blog Hop If you follow this link to the event page you will find many more awesome people who are participating in this awesome HOP.

Again I will be giving two prizes for $25 Gift Certificates to buy books - I will even get them to a venue of your choice, (if I can work out how to do it- LOL.) So to be eligible to enter either or both comps to win you need to leave a comment with contact information and/or join my list of followers (though you will still need to comment and leave contact information.) I decide on a winner with the age old method of pulling the lucky two peoples names out of a hat, or Tupperware bowl whatever is handiest.


So here is my Easter Ramble - Easter means something different to everyone. For some it is the religious aspects they focus on. For others it is all the sugary and chocolate goodness of the eggs etc. For other's it is an OMG!!! How much is this gonna cost me? Especially if they have more than one person to buy for. For me it is to decide what do I buy my daughter for doesn't eat Easter Eggs? This year she is hinting at new jeans... and I know once we buy said jeans she will need a shirt or something else to go with it... It is a never ending cycle of stuff that is running through my brain during these holidays.

On that note I will away and good luck everyone - PS - Don't forget to check out the other awesome Hoppers... I will post my winners on Tuesday the 10th of April (Australian Time) which will probably be Monday the 9th everywhere else in the world - LOL

Happy Hopping Everyone.

What's Coming Up...

Okay I can here everyone saying gees what are you going to be working on next? I have thought long and hard about it and changed my mind more time than I can poke a stick at... The answer is I HAVE NO FRICKEN CLUE!!! There I said it... my mind is a total blank.

So I have put four things on the table and they are:

1 - SPAM Inc. #1: Claiming Roxy's Heart (yes it has had a name change as well.)

2 - Masters Of Time #2: On The Flipside Of Reverse (Cause Emily asked me to hurry the hell up with it.)

3 - Toowoomba Boys #3: Dancing with Demons (Mainly because this is Damon's story.)

4 - Boys of Summer:  Curiosity... (It is a Silver Anthology.) and is due by May 12.

I think that I write better when I work on just one story so I am gonna try that for the next month - so any ideas on what I should concentrate on feel free to throw your two cents worth in... or if there is one on the blog you think hey hurry the hell up and write that let me know.

On another note I am Participating n the Easter Blog Hop so I will post WW # 14 tomorrow seeing as I won't be really posting during the HOP...

Em's Turn...

Taking over Em's Turn - Just because I can


This is just such a beautiful song - that I just had to share it with you all. I love this movie enough to have bought the soundtrack - Shane Mack's voice is just so freaking amazing.


This is just awesome... Love this band. This band was out when Emily was just a youngen I think it hit #1 in 1997 - though he looked way sexier after he got his hair cut off.


This is just another beautiful song - sadly he ended his life before he made his mark on the world. I think he has one of the most beautiful voices - I read somewhere it was due to him having no testicles - now I can't tell you whether that is true or not - but I still love his voice. (oops my mistake turns out he is alive and well - man, for years I believed he had died I am so happy to find out I was wrong.)



No matter what anyone says this man is sexy as hell (except as 'It' where he just scared the crap out of me) I love the guttural sound of his voice

I Got Another Contract Contract!!!

GOOD NEWS: One Last Kiss Goodbye has been picked up by Silver Publishing. I have already started on the edits and as soon as that is done I will start on the Blurb and the Cover Art request... I am so fricken stoked it is unbelievable. I honestly thought I would have to wait the full eight weeks to be given a yes or a no. I can't wait to see what the cover will look like.

If I read the contract right it is being released in June on some date that I can't quite think of and am too lazy to go back and look up right at this moment.

BAD NEWS: Is my cell phone blew up - well not so much blew up, it just kind of fizzled out and died, and because of what generation it is I can't get it fixed or reconditioned - so I bit the bullet and went and got a new one... A touch screen - man I hate those sorts of phones, but the ones with normal buttons the numbers were too small so I have to learn a whole new way of doing crap now - it took me 3 months to learn how to answer the last one and now I somehow  have to master a new one. I did the smart thing and got one exactly like my daughters so she can teach me. Regardless I will probably end up in some weird places and call numbers that I have no clue how I done it... so if I have your number and I don't answer TXT MSG or I don't answer then you know I probably screwed something up.

Will You Catch Me When I Fall?

I woke up today feeling inspired and never wrote a damn thing mind you it is only 11 am for me so I still have plenty of time.

I have been thinking a lot lately about falling. and I don't mean the everyday tripping that is just a given for me. My whole body is a map of bruises some days - sad but true story - I have an inner ear balance thing  happening.

What I am talking about is the feeling of having your whole world ripped apart who will be the ones standing there to pick you up and dust you off. Will it be who you expect or someone that shocks the shit out of you... This is what is running through my head of late. I know there is a story in there somewhere... I am just trying to figure it all out in my head before I fill you all in.

I think I would need to come up with a title or an inspirational picture before I even attempt writing it. But I just wanted to share that with you. If any of you have ideas or an inspirational picture, or even a title please feel free to share them with me.

PS... I have been think about On the Flipside of Reverse - Or more to the point my character Tucker - the drunken witch.

Kylfa is not going to have a clue when Tucker walks into his life and turns his  world upside down.

Could you imagine the havoc Tucker could cause in our Viking village - Brislaine is in for a shock when  Tucker winds up in it midst.

What's Up!!!

Okay not much has been happening of late. I have just been taking it easy since I finished both Father's Day stories.

Though yesterday I went and had another tattooing session and had all the outline put in for the final part to my Halloween sleeve - one of the guys that works in the tattoo shop picked it out it is called the pumpkin princess - I think - at least it will match all the other stuff I have going on with lots more bats. I will post a picture as soon as Rodney emails me the photograph so you can all see what I have going on. I didn't even realise I was getting tattooed until I saw it on my calendar but all is good.

What's next on my agenda  in the writing world - well Emily has put in the request that I write The Diamond Rose and the sequel to my freebie Shadows on the Heart - so I have pulled out On The Flipside of Reverse - to work on Tucker & Kylfa's story. I was going to extend SOTH - but than thought no I will leave it as the freebie short story. I don't really want to mess with it and screw it up. - though for Emily I am extending it... LOL.

The Diamond Rose is actually a story where Emily helped me come up with the characters and plot ... she even came up with the title - so if you ask her the whole story is hers and I am just the writer. I have been told that I have to dedicate the whole thing to her.

Out of Time...

Okay I have run out of time to do my blog story today - Real life has a way of taking over when I think I have enough hours - then poof! They are gone.

I have been a busy little person trying to catch up on everything but something had to give and today it is the Blog Story Wind Walkers I will have to get it done for tomorrow.

We have had a full on day of doing yard work and washing so I am completely bloody knackered. Not as much as the poor Hubs and Emily though - as they got most of the outside chores.

I am off now to fold up the mountain of washing and watch a DVD while I do it not sure what yet - Em says I have to watch Part 1 of Breaking Dawn... if she is helping me than I guess that is what it will be.
