\"\"<\/a>Howdy! Welcome! I’m right in the middle of a blog hop this weekend, so check it out by clicking the banner. It’s a lot of fun, and there are a ton of prizes up for grabs.<\/p>\n

Favorite Song of the Week ~<\/strong><\/span> I’ve been trying really hard to focus on my work this week, so I’ve been listening to a lot of classical. This might be one of my favorites by Ludwig Minkus, Don Quixote. I found one where Mikhail Baryshnikov headlined the ballet. You’re welcome.
\n<\/object><\/p>\n

Work in Progress News ~<\/strong> <\/span>I’ve put a few K into Dean. The hero Lance is an ex cop, and I’m struggling with his personality. Or maybe he’s struggling with mine. At this point I can’t tell. I just keep plugging away.<\/p>\n

Backlist News ~<\/strong> <\/span>There’s a new site that allows me to sell my books directly on my site! It’s called Gumroad. Check it out! —> Fine Print<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0I put a buy link for each of Alanna’s books<\/a> and Olivia’s books<\/a> on the buy pages. Pretty cool! Also, for you Kobo customers, I’m now using Kobo’s direct to customer program Kobo Writing Life for my qualifying titles.<\/p>\n

Search Term of the week aka How People Found My Websites ~<\/strong><\/span> I found one that was pretty interesting. It showed up before as well, and I commented on it in a previous status post. This time I actually Googled the term, and I found what they were looking for. It’s NSFW. Also, I don’t drive naked. That’s dangerous in Wyoming weather.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>What I’m reading ~<\/span> <\/strong>I can’t remember why I picked up Reckless (Nashville Nights #4) by Cheryl Douglas, but I’m glad I did. This has a classic romance feel to it, with the hero Ty being the one who fell for the heroine Avery, and he had to fight to win her. Maybe I just enjoy seeing a big strong cowboy on his knees.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Hero Quote ~<\/strong><\/span> From Carter, a hero in Flipped.<\/p>\n

“Shh. Don’t say a thing. If you start talking too much like you always do, then I’ll start thinking too much like I always do. No talking.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Okay folks. Now head on over to the JustRomance.Me<\/a> blog hop and get yourself entered to win a prize or two. We’ll be rehashing the hop on Sunday night at 7pm EST over at Gem Sivad’s Chat Room<\/a>. I’d love to see you there! Mention this post and I’ll throw in a free backlist book.<\/p>\n\n
