Well, what do you think? Web­sites are redesigned. Now Olivia and Alan­na share a blog, which cuts down on my blog­ging time by half! Also removed sev­er­al pages from Alan­na’s site which were just sit­ting there, often dupli­cat­ing infor­ma­tion. Please look around, any input is help­ful! I know this water map has noth­ing to do with my post, but I want­ed to share it.

Favorite Song of the Week ~ Ush­er. ‘Nuff said. Not sure why there’s not a real video for this but enjoy star­ing at his face for a few minutes.

Work in Progress News ~ Don’t hate me, but I’ve been work­ing on a dif­fer­ent wip this week. Some­times just a few days away from a work helps me get back into the groove. I got a few pages on my work that does­n’t even have a hero name yet (it’s a sto­ry fea­tur­ing a sexy pilot, so I call it…um…Pilot.) This will just be a short (12–18K) sto­ry for Olivi­a’s “men in uni­form” line.

Back­list News ~ At Ease end­ed up a final­ist at the Swirl Awards in the Novel­la cat­e­go­ry! With the awe­some books At Ease was up against, I’m very pleased at its place­ment. Check out the oth­er inter­ra­cial books that the Swirl Awards rec­og­nized at their Web­site.

Indus­try News ~ Barnes and Noble announced two new tablets. The pro­mo­tion­al video makes them look real­ly good! I might be swayed by the epic music though. Price is right, so I’m hop­ing thou­sands more peo­ple will jump on the ebook bandwagon!

Search Term of the week aka How Peo­ple Found My Web­sites ~ Well this is new. “naked women tree” I’m pret­ty sure that search found this pic­ture that I’ve post­ed before.

What I’m read­ing ~ I read Out of Focus, a book about an estab­lished dom cou­ple look­ing for a sub third. I loved the way L.A. Witt han­dled the inevitable feel­ings of all three. Each chap­ter was writ­ten in first per­son, from dif­fer­ing main char­ac­ters. An inter­est­ing way to han­dle POV.

Hero Quote ~ From Josh in Tempt­ing Tes­sa, my free read pre­quel to Tes­sa’s Pride:

“I know you want me, Tes­sa. I’ve seen the lust behind your eyes. Don’t deny it. Each time I caught that look, you’d turn away. If you had kept look­ing, you would have seen the same lust in mine.”

Tes­sa’s bust­ed! Thanks for stop­ping by. Have a great week
