Woah. Sep­tem­ber already. Can you believe it? Labor Day here in the states. I took this pic­ture dur­ing this week’s camp­ing trip. I had fun, but there’s a species of bird (or frog, I’m not exact­ly sure) that sounds just like a human whistling. That kept my dog alert all night long, which in turn kept me awake.  Also, sleep­ing on the ground is best left to those under twenty.

Favorite Song of the Week ~  I can’t get this out of my head. Though I’m on HIS side, I get a kick out of her frus­trat­ed grunt.

This says US ver­sion. I won­der what the rest of the world gets!? I can’t find any­thing else.

Work in Progress News ~ Work­ing away on Dean. I think I’ll get a lot more done start­ing next week when the kids go back to school. At least that’s the plan.

Indus­try News ~ Sev­er­al arti­cles popped up this week regard­ing authors buy­ing reviews. A cer­tain author (the first self pub­lished author to sell a mil­lion Kin­dle books) admits to shelling out sev­er­al thou­sand dol­lars for pos­i­tive reviews. Not only do I find the prac­tice immoral and deceit­ful, I also don’t have that kind of mon­ey. So you can rest assured that all reviews on my books are legit. In oth­er news, just when you thought you had the lat­est and great­est in eread­ers, this gets leaked: Kin­dle Paper­white, (or some­thing) a Kin­dle with back­light! Looks pret­ty darn cool.

Search Term of the week aka How Peo­ple Found My Web­sites ~ I have two inter­est­ing terms this week. “kz sxsy ten­der” and “hairy brynn”. I love you, Internet!

What I’m read­ing ~ I love every­thing that Vivien Dean writes, so when I saw one I hadn’t read popped up, I grabbed it and devoured it in one night. Price of a Tat­tooed Soul  is a time trav­el sto­ry, so it has the best of con­tem­po­rary and his­tor­i­cal, with a great plot and great cov­er (sor­ry, word­press freaked on me, I can’t seem to post it, but click on over to see.)

Hero Quote ~ From Eric, the fire­fight­ing hero in Last Call:

“There’s a sexy-as-hell woman offer­ing her­self to me. Of course I want to. Espe­cial­ly if it will help rebuild her ego. I’m sworn to serve the cit­i­zens of this city, you know.” 

Well that’s it for me. You all have a great day, and for all my fel­low US folks, have a great Labor Day Weekend!
