Woot! What a great week! Unfor­tu­nate­ly, I did­n’t get a lot of words in on my WiPs. I don’t real­ly have an excuse either.

Favorite Song of the Week ~ I nev­er watched this video until just now. I’m not real­ly sure how I feel about it. But still, take a rap/hip hop artist, pair him with a coun­try music singer, and what do you get?

Work in Progress News ~ I’ve had Dean’s sto­ry open all week. Not a whole lot of words yet, but I already love these guys. I real­ized that none of the first chap­ter is in Dean’s point of view. Prob­a­bly since this book is a sequel of Falling Star, the return­ing char­ac­ter should start the next book, huh? So I start­ed anoth­er chap­ter one. Not in love with it, so we’ll see. The joys of pantsing!

Back­list News ~ Last Call came out last week, which means I’m get­ting reviews as it climbs the charts! Writ­ing a book with humor is always sketchy. One wom­an’s fun­ny is anoth­er’s eye roll. So far, I haven’t had any eye-rolling reviews.

Indus­try News ~  You’ve heard the 50 Shades talk. I won’t rehash. Except to say that this book did not invent the erot­ic romance genre. Main­stream media needs to get that fig­ured out before my Twit­ter feed blows up.

Search Term of the week aka How Peo­ple Found My Web­sites ~ Noth­ing too excit­ing here, but I got this one: “west­ern heat by alan­na coca”, which remind­ed me that I did­n’t show you all the won­der­ful ban­ner that booknibbles.com made for me for the Romance Times con­fer­ence on April 9th! Both West­ern Heat and City Heat have been writ­ten quite yet. They’ll be free reads, and I’ll be using these ban­ners at RT to find the hero­ine to star in the book.

Nice, huh? I can’t wait for the con­fer­ence. I hope to see a ton of famil­iar online faces!

Hero Quote ~ from Fine Print, this is Derek:

“Bull­shit. I think I got a total of two smiles out of you in the last two hours. You don’t exact­ly strike me as the June Cleaver type.”

Okay folks. That’s it for me. Have a great week!
