Howdy! Wel­come! I’m right in the mid­dle of a blog hop this week­end, so check it out by click­ing the ban­ner. It’s a lot of fun, and there are a ton of prizes up for grabs.

Favorite Song of the Week ~ I’ve been try­ing real­ly hard to focus on my work this week, so I’ve been lis­ten­ing to a lot of clas­si­cal. This might be one of my favorites by Lud­wig Minkus, Don Quixote. I found one where Mikhail Barysh­nikov head­lined the bal­let. You’re welcome.

Work in Progress News ~ I’ve put a few K into Dean. The hero Lance is an ex cop, and I’m strug­gling with his per­son­al­i­ty. Or maybe he’s strug­gling with mine. At this point I can’t tell. I just keep plug­ging away.

Back­list News ~ There’s a new site that allows me to sell my books direct­ly on my site! It’s called Gum­road. Check it out! —> Fine Print I put a buy link for each of Alanna’s books and Olivia’s books on the buy pages. Pret­ty cool! Also, for you Kobo cus­tomers, I’m now using Kobo’s direct to cus­tomer pro­gram Kobo Writ­ing Life for my qual­i­fy­ing titles.

Search Term of the week aka How Peo­ple Found My Web­sites ~ I found one that was pret­ty inter­est­ing. It showed up before as well, and I com­ment­ed on it in a pre­vi­ous sta­tus post. This time I actu­al­ly Googled the term, and I found what they were look­ing for. It’s NSFW. Also, I don’t dri­ve naked. That’s dan­ger­ous in Wyoming weather.

What I’m read­ing ~ I can’t remem­ber why I picked up Reck­less (Nashville Nights #4) by Cheryl Dou­glas, but I’m glad I did. This has a clas­sic romance feel to it, with the hero Ty being the one who fell for the hero­ine Avery, and he had to fight to win her. Maybe I just enjoy see­ing a big strong cow­boy on his knees.

Hero Quote ~ From Carter, a hero in Flipped.

“Shh. Don’t say a thing. If you start talk­ing too much like you always do, then I’ll start think­ing too much like I always do. No talking.” 

Okay folks. Now head on over to the JustRomance.Me blog hop and get your­self entered to win a prize or two. We’ll be rehash­ing the hop on Sun­day night at 7pm EST over at Gem Sivad’s Chat Room. I’d love to see you there! Men­tion this post and I’ll throw in a free back­list book.
