Happy Saturday! Like many throughout the nation and world, I spent Sunday night glued to my computer watching NASA\u2019s Rover Curiosity\u2019s successful landing on Mars. I got goosebumps. I hope my British readers aren\u2019t offended by this picture. I just had to. I mean, look at the Eagle\u2019s expression!<\/p>\n

Favorite Song of the Week ~<\/strong><\/span> Bad Lip Reading just gets better and better. They covered Coldplay\u2019s \u00c2\u00a0In My Place<\/a>. Renamed it Yeti. I\u2019d love to see a behind-the-scenes video for BLR.<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

Work in Progress News ~<\/span> <\/strong>Wrote a few K into Dean\u2019s story, the second in the Earth Scents series. I\u2019m a little worried about following a m\/f book with an m\/m book. If I have any reader opinions, I\u2019d love to hear them. Otherwise, I\u2019m just chugging away. Dean\u2019s story will be written either way I guess.<\/p>\n

Search Term of the week aka How People Found My Websites ~<\/strong><\/span> This week, I found this partial phrase: \u201cher hands moved lower\u201d. I always wonder if these are things I typed in previous flash fiction stories? Those four words must have struck a chord somewhere somehow.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What I\u2019m reading ~<\/strong><\/span> I don\u2019t remember why I picked this one up. Sure, Jennifer Probst is a bestseller and all, but I\u2019m usually not swayed by that. The Marriage Bargain is a contemporary novella, with a whole lot of 80s Harlequin flare. We have a billionaire, a struggling working class girl, an arranged marriage, and even a sneaky dead uncle\u2019s will. I admit, I loved it. Snappy dialogue, and excellent writing. Entangled Publishing is on my short list of potential publishers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Hero Quote ~<\/span> <\/strong>From Derek in Fine Print. This is where he changes the rules on poor Kara.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0\u201dIf you really wanted to have a sterile conception, you would have gone to a sterile sperm bank, and picked one of the sterile vials of sperm, with no strings attached. This way, we\u2019re skipping the middle man. We can bypass the lab and maybe even enjoy ourselves a little bit in the process.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kara handles it pretty well though. Okay folks. Time to get back to it. Have a great week!<\/p>\n\n
