Saturday Status 1/12/13

Wel­come! It’s full win­ter mode here on top of this moun­tain. If you fol­low me on Twit­ter you know that my car was hit while parked out­side my house, so I’ve got a rental (Camaro!) and I’m too afraid to dri­ve that bad boy in the snow.

Work in Progress News ~ Work­ing away on Falling Star book 1.5. (I need a title) This is going to be a short sto­ry between Adam and Jade’s sto­ry and Dean’s. We’ll meet Lance in this one and see what Adam has up his sleeve. I won’t give it away though. Not exact­ly sure what I’ll do with it when it’s done, but at the rate I’m writ­ing, I have plen­ty of time to decide. I also have some won­der­ful news about my upcom­ing book Tak­ing Her There, but I’ll give that to you next week.

Favorite Song of the Week ~ I almost edit­ed my post last week to show you guys this video. I real­ly like Walk Off The Earth. Many of their cov­ers are bet­ter than the orig­i­nals. Here they are fea­tur­ing KRNFX doing Tay­lor Swift’s Trouble:

 Back­list News ~ A new review was post­ed on Ama­zon for With a View. It reads: “Haven’t read it yet , but I’m sure I will.” I sure hope when she reads it she still thinks it’s worth five stars. Okay, that’s not real­ly news, but I had to share that.

Tweet of the Week ~


Indus­try News ~ I find this inter­est­ing. Entan­gled Pub­lish­ing, a new­er pub­lish­er, has come out of the gates with some real­ly sur­pris­ing suc­cess. Sev­er­al of their books have reached NYT Best­seller sta­tus. This week Entan­gled has teamed up with Macmil­lan and St. Mar­t­in’s. “In the new arrange­ment, Macmil­lan will dis­trib­ute Eng­lish lan­guage e‑books of Entangled’s new pub­li­ca­tions in all domes­tic and inter­na­tion­al mar­kets and for all plat­forms where Macmil­lan cur­rent­ly does business. In a sep­a­rate agree­ment, St. Mar­t­in’s Press will launch a new joint ven­ture imprint known as St. Martin’s/Entangled which will bring into print and pub­lish a select num­ber of Entangled’s dig­i­tal first titles.” [source] Inter­est­ing.

What I’m read­ing ~  Con­duct Unbe­com­ing by L.A. Witt is a mil­i­tary love sto­ry. I could real­ly tell that the author has some mil­i­tary back­ground, the details are so true to life. “What starts as a scorch­ing-hot one-night stand leaves both of them want­i­ng more…until Eric finds out Shane doesn’t just out­rank him, he’s an offi­cer. DADT may be repealed, but an offi­cer get­ting involved with an enlist­ed man falls under con­duct unbecoming.”

Search Term of the week aka How Peo­ple Found My Web­sites ~ I just don’t get the fun search terms that I used to get. There’s seri­ous­ly noth­ing notable in my dash­board. Sor­ry, folks. I might dis­con­tin­ue this entry.

Book Snip­pet ~  From Last Call:

Her T‑shirt was tight enough to hug every curve. It wasn’t any­thing spe­cial, just a plain light-pink T‑shirt, but from this prox­im­i­ty, he could see the out­line of the cup of her bra. He fol­lowed the line down the slope of one breast and back up the other.

She laughed, a low husky sound, so dif­fer­ent from her ear­li­er gig­gles. “Looks like my brother’s friend is a boob man!” She reached for the hem of her shirt and inched it up her stom­ach. “Wan­na see? I think you’ll like–”

No!” He stopped her hands, mind­ful of the watch­ful eyes on the side­walk. “Keep your shirt on, Josie.”

One last thing…I’ll be guest post­ing at Wild and Wicked Cow­boys on 1/14/13. Please stop by and leave a com­ment so I don’t look like a total los­er! I’d appre­ci­ate it. You all have a great week. Stay warm!

Whadd'ya think?
