Well, that\u2019s it. Snow\u2019s in the fore\u00adcast. \u00c2 I guess I should just be hap\u00adpy, I mean this sum\u00admer\u2019s wild\u00adfires were a direct result of the dry win\u00adter last year, so per\u00adhaps it\u2019s a good thing. I\u2019ll take up com\u00adplain\u00ading about wind instead. Just kid\u00adding, I\u2019d nev\u00ader shut up.<\/p>\n

Favorite Song of the Week ~<\/strong> <\/span>This should bring back some mem\u00ado\u00adries. It\u2019s nice to hear some music played by\u2026yanno\u2026 musi\u00adcal instru\u00adments and stuff.

\nWork in Progress News ~<\/span> <\/strong>Every week I write this sec\u00adtion, I\u2019m embar\u00adrassed by the lack of pro\u00adduc\u00adtiv\u00adi\u00adty and I swear to do bet\u00adter the fol\u00adlow\u00ading week. This is why I don\u2019t announce my word counts. I\u2019m plug\u00adging away though. I actu\u00adal\u00adly bought some pro\u00admo\u00adtion\u00adal mate\u00adri\u00adals for Ris\u00ading Heat. So now I real\u00adly have to fin\u00adish this before the end of the year. I can do it!<\/p>\n

Back\u00adlist News ~<\/span> <\/strong>Sto\u00adryfinds<\/a>\u00c2 is fea\u00adtur\u00ading my free reads on their site! Looks pret\u00adty good there, huh? Also, I\u2019ve pulled a few books from Apple iTunes, but I\u2019m work\u00ading on get\u00adting them back up as soon as pos\u00adsi\u00adble. If you\u2019re an iOS user and are look\u00ading for For a Price<\/a>, Cov\u00ader Sto\u00adry<\/a>, or Com\u00adpa\u00adny Ink<\/a>, rest assured they\u2019ll be back up short\u00adly. Until then you can find a DRM<\/span> free epub ver\u00adsion for your iProd\u00aduct at Smash\u00adwords<\/a> or Barnes and Noble<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Indus\u00adtry News ~<\/span><\/strong> Speak\u00ading of Barnes and Noble, this week they \u00c2 announced their part\u00adner\u00adship with Microsoft. It looks like a col\u00adlege text\u00adbook type of LLC<\/span>. I hope some\u00adone gets deep into the dig\u00adi\u00adtal text\u00adbook mar\u00adket! Those suck\u00aders are heavy! [source<\/a>]<\/p>\n

What I\u2019m read\u00ading ~<\/strong><\/span> So I caved, and bought a Kin\u00addle Paper\u00adwhite. I. Love. It. Very sim\u00adi\u00adlar to my Kin\u00addle Touch, so there was\u00adn\u2019t much of a learn\u00ading curve. Any\u00adway, I tried it out on quite a few books lol. I also start\u00aded one that was so bad that I did\u00adn\u2019t fin\u00adish (and that\u2019s say\u00ading some\u00adthing, I\u2019m a com\u00adpul\u00adsive fin\u00adish\u00ader) so I won\u2019t men\u00adtion that one. So instead I leave you with this YA<\/span> by a very tal\u00adent\u00aded author with some great blood run\u00adning through her veins (she\u2019s my cousin) Amy Kath\u00adleen Ryan (yes, I did just drop her name) If you like Hunger Games, you\u2019ll love this book (series) and so will your teen. It\u2019s been very well reviewed. (I just set the record for the most paren\u00adthe\u00adses in one blog post I think.)<\/p>\n

Search Term of the week aka How Peo\u00adple Found My Web\u00adsites ~<\/strong><\/span> There are two good ones this week. This one: \u201ctempt\u00ading tes\u00adsa dirty?\u201d (the answer is yes\u2026kinda) and one that intro\u00adduces a new word into my vocab\u00adu\u00adlary because I think it\u2019s awe\u00adsome: \u201colivia eurot\u00adic\u201d Eurot\u00adic! Isn\u2019t that great? Now I\u2019m going to write an erot\u00adic sto\u00adry about Euro\u00adpeans. Typos for the win.<\/p>\n

Hero Quote ~<\/span> <\/strong>From Jake in the free read\u00c2 Treat<\/a>, the pre\u00adquel to Retreat<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>I can go slow.\u201d He slid one hand around her waist, the oth\u00ader up her arm and around her neck. \u201cOr I can pick up the pace just a bit to get just where I want to be. Christ, Andi. I want to kiss the hell out of you right now.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well? Think there was any hell left in Andi when he got done with her? Click the cov\u00ader to down\u00adload the sto\u00adry for free and find out.<\/p>\n
