What a great week! Unfortunately, I didn&#8217;t get a lot of words in on my WiPs. I don&#8217;t really have an excuse either.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Favorite Song of the Week ~<\/span><\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0I never watched this video until just now. I&#8217;m not really sure how I feel about it. But still, take a rap\/hip hop artist, pair him with a country music singer, and what do you get?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/n3htOCjafTc?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Work in Progress News ~<\/strong><\/span> I&#8217;ve had Dean&#8217;s story open all week. Not a whole lot of words yet, but I already love these guys. I realized that none of the first chapter is in Dean&#8217;s point of view. Probably since this book is a sequel of Falling Star, the returning character should start the next book, huh? So I started another chapter one. Not in love with it, so we&#8217;ll see. The joys of pantsing!<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Backlist News ~<\/span><\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/oliviabrynn.com\/last-call\" target=\"_blank\">Last Call<\/a> came out last week, which means I&#8217;m getting reviews as it climbs the charts! Writing a book with humor is always sketchy. One woman&#8217;s funny is another&#8217;s eye roll. So far, I haven&#8217;t had any eye-rolling reviews.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Industry News ~ \u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>You&#8217;ve heard the 50 Shades talk. I won&#8217;t rehash. Except to say that this book did not invent the erotic romance genre. Mainstream media needs to get that figured out before my Twitter feed blows up.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Search Term of the week aka How People Found My Websites ~<\/span><\/strong> Nothing too exciting here, but I got this one:\u00c2\u00a0&#8220;western heat by alanna coca&#8221;, which reminded me that I didn&#8217;t show you all the wonderful banner that <a href=\"http:\/\/booknibbles.com\" target=\"_blank\">booknibbles.com<\/a> made for me for the Romance Times conference on April 9th! Both Western Heat and City Heat have been written quite yet. They&#8217;ll be free reads, and I&#8217;ll be using these banners at RT to find the heroine to star in the book.<\/p>\n<p><img data-attachment-id=\"29\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/alannacoca.com\/blog\/2012\/03\/saturday-status-33112\/chsmall\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/alannacoca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/CHSmall.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"180,300\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"CHSmall\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/alannacoca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/CHSmall.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/alannacoca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/CHSmall.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-29 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/alannacoca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/CHSmall.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/alannacoca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/WHSmall.jpg\"><img data-attachment-id=\"30\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/alannacoca.com\/blog\/2012\/03\/saturday-status-33112\/whsmall\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/alannacoca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/WHSmall.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"180,300\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"WHSmall\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/alannacoca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/WHSmall.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/alannacoca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/WHSmall.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-30\" title=\"WHSmall\" src=\"https:\/\/alannacoca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/WHSmall.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Nice, huh?
