NEW COVER!!!


This is the wonderful Cover for my book coming out for Silver Publishing (tentative date June 16) I just wanted you all to see the wonderful job Reese Dante has done.  These guys are my Kayne Henderson  (left) & Jacen Ives (right). Still working on Edits for this one. I am so excited.

ON OTHER NEWS:




The Lines of Marsden: Rules Are Meant To Be Broken has headed off to the proofer I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Soon you will be able to read all about Michael, Christian and Doyle and fall in love with them all as I have. This book is one of my greatest love's because I wrote most of it sitting in hospital rooms with Emily.

Breathe Deep & Suck It Up!!!

I am having a total WTF day. When everything I attempt makes me go - WTF - seriously.

I am trying to catch up on household stuff as I do my edits and things keep going wrong let me give you a taste of my day.

1) Doorways have a habit of moving just as I go to walk through them, ending with me walking into a wall or seven.

2) Every time I get up from the computer the cat (Toby) decides my keyboard is the place to be.

3) I keep adding e's to words that shouldn't have them eg. him(e), hot(e), Michael(e)... you get the drift.

4) Your nephew (who is no longer my favourite - yes you heard me Caleb - I now dub you Dumbarse-Fuckwit-Wanker) sends you weird arse texts pretending he doesn't know who you are. And thinking he is absolutely hilarious - I know this because he text me telling me so.

5) Why is it when the husbands away everything in the house seems to break or go wrong? The locks seem to have all decided to not lock at the same time. The lights are flickering. No one can find the keys to the shed (I would say the hubs has them in China - at least he hasn't lost his wallet this time - or should that be yet?)

Holy Crap & Then Some...

 I know that today is Blog story day but I am afraid I have to put in on hold for a couple of days. (Hopefully get it posted in two days = my Tuesday) as I have edits for Silver Publishing on my Father's Day story: One Last Kiss Goodbye

And when I say edits - I mean there is a shit load of them to do. Honestly it isn't so much as that I have a tone of changes to make but I do have  1244 edits notes to wade through, but in all honesty there are actually only about 198 minor changes to make the story flow. (I.E. I have to replace a semi colon with a period/full stop.) My wonderful editor on this project must have had heart failure when he first clapped eyes on the way I write. Is it bad that I actually apologised to me editor ahead of time? Though I know by the end of it all we will have a better product in our hands.

Last part of Tattoo sleeve...

 Okay, so for the last part of my Tattoo Halloween sleeve there is going to be a scarecrow Cinderella type girl. Oh, and there will be a shitload of bats added - just cause I love bats.

 I am very ticklish so I couldn't stop laughing when Ted was tattooing u near my armpit. I will have this whole sleeve done by the time I get to GRL in October. Honestly I can't wait for it to be finished.

 The counter guy (Rodney Rocket) picked what we used as inspiration so my arm has been a collaboration of all who work in the shop Sink The Ink. Luckily, I actually like the stuff that is put on my skin.

 I have been asked what am I going to do when I am older and I am covered in tattoos... my reply was, "Have colourful wrinkles." I mean seriously, what else can you say? I think a lot of my generation are going to get old and covered tattoos so I will be in great company. Well that is my ramble for the day - I will make sure I post the actual tattoo when it is done.

As You Can Tell...

 So I have been a little bit sick over the last week (nothing major - inner ear balance is out of whack.) I got to thinking that I needed to upgrade my blog a little. I know the changes aren't huge and you probably didn't even notice that I had changed anything.

 I decided in my off balance wisdom to make this blog site all about me. I will still occasionally pimp other people and Em and I will still do beautiful people and Em's Turn (music)... actually it will be basically exactly the bloody same - LOL - but I will remember to update the widgets at the end of each week.

 You will be able to see I have added a heap more widget counters so I now have most of my workable WIPs on display. And in my rambles I will tell you more about my works. So if there is any that you think you might like to hear more about feel free to leave me a comment on each days post and I will try and accommodate what you ask.

 Mostly though you are just going to get whatever falls out of my head. I can't promise that it will make sense because seriously half the time I don't even know what is going on... LOL - My Muse has taken a vacation with a couple of my main characters... he left me a message saying he has picked up a few more stragglers to bring home to share with you all. I wonder just who it is - crap lets just hope they're legal - or I could be writing YA a lot sooner than I planned.







A not so good review but hey not everyone likes my style.

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.
