It’s the Sat­ur­day Sta­tus Reboot! I did­n’t think I’d miss post­ing, but I feel real­ly dis­con­nect­ed when I’m not check­ing in with the web every week. Did ya miss me?

Don’t answer that.

I just got back from Vegas, where I spent four days in the com­pa­ny of romance authors, cov­er mod­els, and  slot machines. This pic­ture is me at the book sign­ing. It was actu­al­ly one of the best expos I’ve attend­ed. Not that I sold a bunch of books, but the com­pa­ny was great, and there was a steady stream of vis­i­tors to my table. I ran out of lots of swag! I’ve got pic­tures on my Face­book page if you want to scroll through them.

I’m also post­ing to show off my new website(s)! Alan­na, Olivia, and this blog all got facelifts. What do you think? I real­ly like the one-page theme, keeps every­thing simple.

Work in Progress News ~ I think I’ve start­ed sev­er­al WIPs since I last post­ed, but I haven’t fin­ished any. I’m real­ly not sure what my prob­lem is, but start­ing Mon­day I’m on a strict word count sched­ule with Tri­na M. Lee. My goal is to fin­ish Ris­ing Heat by the end of the year. I can doo eeett!! I’m also seri­ous­ly con­sid­er­ing giv­ing birth to a third per­son­al­i­ty to write a dif­fer­ent genre. Some­one slap me.

Favorite Song of the Week ~ Speak­ing of Tri­na M. Lee, she’s got a book com­ing out on August 27th. (PREORDER!) It’s titled Whis­per To A Scream, and when­ev­er I think of it, I sing this song from 1984 in my head.

Book News ~ Tak­ing Her There is now avail­able! Click the cov­er to get to Olivi­a’s web­site, where you can find chap­ter one and buy links. I start­ed this sto­ry as a sweet-ish bad-girl-gone-good thing, but my bad girl did­n’t want to be very good! So THT is a short hot sto­ry, avail­able at your favorite e‑tailer. Isn’t the cinecov­er great? Thanks, booknibbles.com!

Tweet of the Week ~ Maybe this is only fun­ny if you’re a Pink Floyd Fan.

What I’m read­ing ~ I read sev­er­al books since I last post­ed. Right now I’m re-read­ing one of San­dra Brown’s, they’re all slow­ly being released for Kin­dle, and I’m eat­ing them up! Here’s the blurb: Alexan­dra Gaither is a savvy, beau­ti­ful attor­ney who final­ly has the pow­er to get what she has always want­ed — jus­tice. Twen­ty-five years before, her moth­er died a scan­dalous death. Now as she inves­ti­gates her moth­er’s for­mer lover, his best friend, and the father fig­ure to them both, she will risk every­thing to uncov­er their best kept secrets.
Book Snip­pet ~ From Tak­ing Her There:

He kicked open the door to find her still sleep­ing, her long leg peek­ing from beneath the blan­ket and just the curve of one breast exposed. Her short blonde hair stuck out, sex­i­ly mussed and beg­ging for his hand to rake through the silky strands. Full lips, soft clear skin…damn. The woman was cap­ti­vat­ing, both on-screen and off. As lust filled his veins, he set their meal on a near­by chair, then knelt beside the bed to kiss her ankle. He worked his way up the shape­ly curve of her calf, avoid­ed the back of her knee, then on up to her hip bone where his prim­i­tive self was tempt­ed to leave a love mark.

“Do it, and I’ll kill you.”

He grinned and met her gaze. “I don’t know what you’re talk­ing about.”

“You growled. It doesn’t take much imagination.”

“Heh.” He nib­bled up her side, licked the plump curve of her breast, then swirled his tongue around her ear­lobe. “I don’t growl.”

“Yes, you do.” She thread­ed her fin­gers through his hair. “It’s sexy as hell.”

“Maybe you heard my stom­ach. I’m starving.”

Okay folks. Every­one have a great week­end! See you next Saturday 🙂
