Easter Blog Hop

Welcome! You should have just come from Stephanie Adkins’ blog. If you just happened along this post, and would like to get in on the fun, and the prizes, head on over to Christa Page’s blog where the fun starts. This blog hop runs all weekend, so if you need to take a break, just bookmark whatever blog you’re on, and pick up from there! I’ve hidden an egg somewhere on my site, be sure to find it, and click to go to the next blog. Good luck! Now, for your Easter pleasure, photographer Dylan Ricci has just the man to welcome spring. Go ahead, stuff this guy in your basket and take him home with you:

Okay, I know it’s hard, but you need to leave this guy behind (hehe) and start hunting for the egg, which is somewhere on this site. I promise, I didn’t hide it too well, you’re still reeling from all the eye candy, but if you need a hint, just use my contact page to shoot me an email.

Happy Easter!

Be My Valentine Blog Hop

Welcome! If you’re just stumbling across my blog, be sure to click HERE to join us at the beginning of the

Be My Valentine Blog Hop

where almost forty bloggers have joined forces to bring you an eye candy overload, just in time for Valentine’s Day. Today I’m featuring male model Brandon Vols.

There is something very sexy about black and white photographs. Maybe it’s the old movie feel. The above picture reminds me of  romance novel I remember reading as a teen. *sigh*

Ah, a close up…now you can see those eyes. And stubble. Rawr.

These pictures are all courtesy of C.M. Soto Photography and can be found HERE along with more information about Mr. Vols.

I hope you’re enjoying the blog hop! I’ll be chatting with readers on Friday from 7pm to 9pm EST in Gem’s Chat Room, where I’ll be posting excerpts of my published novels, and maybe some of my works in progress. I’d love to meet you, so please stop by the Chat Room at the end of the tour. Don’t forget to leave a comment here to get your name in the hat to win a plethora of prizes, including my contemporary western romance Retreat.

Thank you Booknibbles.com for hosting the blog hop today!

Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!

A Corpse, a Cop, and Canines.

Welcome to the progressive story, a great way to celebrate Groundhog Day! You’ve found Chapter one of our story,

A Corpse, a Cop, and Some Canines. I’m sure this will be on the bestsellers list soon, and it might win a Pulitzer or two. I’m not sure how that works, but I do know that this will be a lot more fun than watching Punxatawny Phil on TV.

UPDATE! The entire progressive story is now available for free download right here:

What’s Going On?

A whole lot of things, and a whole lot of nothing. I’ve started yet another project. That makes number seven that I’ve started in the past four months. Some of these I’ve only written five thousand words, others up to fifteen thousand. I write until another story starts screaming to be written. I suppose I’ll get them all finished eventually.  A few projects for Olivia, a few for Alanna. Sometimes we switch in the middle. No, I don’t have multiple personality disorder. Yet. I suppose there is time.

Presently, I’m working on a 30k contemporary western, a joint project with two other authors. We’re hoping to get three western shorts together for an anthology. More information as that develops.

I’m taking part in a progressive story blog hop on Groundhog Day, 2/2/10. I was assigned to chapter one, which means I have to wait to see what the rest of the authors on the tour will do with the story I set up. It should be a great time, and I expect some laughs when romance authors join forces with horror writers. Check back here on 2/2 for chapter one, and I’ll link to chapter two and so on.

Another blog tour on Valentine’s Day weekend. This one will be huge, already over thirty bloggers have signed up for this one. Thanks to Michael from HartShine Design, this one will be a guided tour. Want to learn more? Bookmark this page, this is where we’ll post the link to the tour launch page. Tons of prizes are up for grabs, so mark your calendars…you don’t want to miss this one.

Congrats!

Congratulations go to Stephanie, the winner of Preja Vu from the Fill-Your-Ereader Blog Tour yesterday. Also, I drew a winner for my weekly ebook giveaway, and congrats go to Andrea who chose Retreat. (Good choice, since Andrea is the heroine’s name in Retreat!)

This morning I was pleasantly surprised to find a smiley face in my in-box. Preja Vu was read by Seriously Reviewed. This reviewer gave Preja Vu a 9 for the story, and another 9 for presentation, for a final score of 18/20.  Here is the review:

“HOLY CRAP!!! Let me start by saying that I was skeptical when I first grabbed this one. Though the blurb was interesting it didn’t just reach out and grab me by the nose…..BUT once I got started reading, I just couldn’t stop!!!
What a nifty little mystery with some sexiness right smack dab in the middle! By page 30 I thought I had it all figured out. I was sure I knew who the bad guy was and I was just waiting for the shoe to drop. BOY HOWDY did I get thrown a curve ball!
Ms Coca, *SNAPS* you did a great job! Totally kept me involved and interested and then WHAM! gave me a big shock! LOVED IT! I will be looking for your name in the future ”

Thank you Seriously Reviewed! I’m glad you enjoyed Preja Vu. Scroll down a bit for a small excerpt and pictures of Trevor Kearney, the hero who falls hard for Ryann.

We’re already planning a weekend-long blog tour for Valentine’s weekend, so you’ll be able to spend time with your honey, and also get in on some great eye candy and amazing ebook prizes. More information to follow, so keep checking back, or click on that little rss feed there in the upper right hand corner of this blog page. No…a little to the right….yeah there ya go.

Alright, back to the word processor, the characters are calling.
