Howdy!  Here’s a pic­ture of some pro­mo­tion­al mini-cov­er flats I just recent­ly received. They’re actu­al­ly “fold­ed busi­ness cards”. Inside is a blurb and QR code. Want a set? Email me and I’ll drop some in the mail for you! I’m still try­ing to come up with a way to dis­play them on my table when I do book sign­ings, so if you have any ideas, let me know.

Work in Progress News ~ Ugh. I haven’t writ­ten much of any­thing at all. I went on a short lit­tle vaca­tion this week and bare­ly turned on my lap­top. Let’s hope that’s what I need­ed to get back to it. I hate being this unproductive.

Favorite Song of the Week ~ Mad­ness by Muse. It’s been out a few months, not sure why I haven’t heard it until recently.

Book News ~ I found Tak­ing Her There up for pre­sale! You can now find it at Ama­zon, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo. Woohoo! Also found the audio­book for Tes­sa’s Pride at iTunes and Ama­zon for only $2.99 which is even less than the dig­i­tal book.

Tweet of the Week ~ I’m pret­ty sure this is a dig at CNN’s Steubenville cov­er­age…

What I’m read­ing ~ Bed­ding the Wrong Broth­er (Dal­ton Broth­ers #1) by Vir­na DePaul. Meli­na Park­er prides her­self on being a lady in pub­lic, but after she’s dumped yet again for being a lady in the bed­room, she’s ready to go back to school. Deter­mined to find her inner sex diva, she enlists her child­hood friend, Max Dal­ton, to tutor her after hours. Instead, she ends up in the wrong bed and gets a les­son in pas­sion from Max’s twin broth­er, Rhys Dal­ton, a man Meli­na’s always secret­ly want­ed but nev­er thought she could have.

Today’s Tear­jerk­er ~ 60 sec­ond video that real­ly tugs on the old heartstrings:

Book Snip­pet ~ From Cov­er Sto­ry, my con­tem­po­rary May/December short story:

Cate glanced over at the cam­era, but Bo used two long fin­gers against her cheek to bring her atten­tion back to him. “For­get he’s here, Cate. It’s just you and me.”

She tried to swal­low, but her mouth was too dry. “Okay,” she croaked.

“I won’t do any­thing you don’t want me to do. You’re in charge here.” He stroked her fore­arms and clasped her hands.

Click.

Cate bit her lip

“Now, we’ll start by get­ting used to me being close to you. Try touch­ing me.”

She dropped her gaze to his pec­torals. Why not? It was com­plete­ly safe. Her touch would­n’t fill him with desire. He would­n’t take advan­tage of her–hell, he was­n’t even attract­ed to women!

She raised both hands to cov­er the dark cir­cles of his nip­ples. Hot. His skin was so warm. She curled her fin­gers, dent­ing the smooth flesh of his pecs.

“That’s right,” he growled. “Learn me. Don’t be shy. Noth­ing is off lim­its to you.”

I hope you’re all start­ing to get some beau­ti­ful spring weath­er. Just send it my way when you’re done with it. I’m patient. Have a great week!
