Weekend Recap – Book Signing Pics & TV Spot

Tuesday, February 12th, 2013

Happy Tuesday!

Since I don’t have a guest this Tuesday, I’m standing in the spotlight! Hope that’s okay?

First up, the San Antonio Living spot I had the pleasure of participating in on Friday. I’m the one with the strange nodding and smiling tic – *SIGH*

If you want to watch it – and Do NOT feel like you have to – here’s the Link

And the Book Signing for the San Antonio Romance Authors was Saturday. The weather was icky, but THANK YOU to those that braved the slick roads and drizzle to come see us! It was loads of fun! Here I am, being author-ly – LOL!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are loads of great pics on the SARA website, so drop by and check it out for yourself. Here’s the Link!

I’m already looking forward to my next trip out! I’m speaking at the Dallas Area Romance Authors group in March – in case you’re in the neighborhood. March is a BIG month – DARA, Book Lovers Weekend, then Dreamin’ In Dallas! Can’t wait!!!

This weekend was busy so I didn’t get in the reading I wanted. I’m finishing Elizabeth Boyle’s Love Letters From a Duke and then moving on to Melanie Macek’s new release When Love Waits.

And you??? What are you reading? Share with the group! :)

 

 

Happy Book Birthday HOLLYWOOD HOLIDAY!

Friday, December 7th, 2012

This week has been pretty monumental for me. I went from being author of two books to FOUR books!!! Yep = BIG week.

Today I get to introduce you to my fourth book baby, a contemporary Hollywood romance that I loved writing….

 

The Blurb:

All she wants for Christmas is for Hollywood to love her again. But once she meets him, her Christmas list changes.

Jen’s only Christmas wish: Hollywood falling back in love with her. Meeting ex-Marine Gunner was a bonus. She likes that he isn’t impressed by celebrities or the movie biz. She likes that he’s funny and sweet … and drop-dead gorgeous. And she loves that he has no idea who her alter-ego is: Jen Fleming, Hollywood bad-girl and paparazzi target number one. Why ruin an amazing affair when he’s leaving after the new year?

But the closer they get, the harder she falls, and the more she wants to tell Gunner everything. Especially once he shares his secret with her.

Her new Christmas wish: Gunner accepts and loves her for who she really is.

Don’t worry, Josh and Claire are back, but this isn’t their story. I hope you enjoy Gunner and Jen’s books! If you decide to give it a read, let me know what you think of it!  Here’s to a weekend full of great reads!!!

 

Week #1 – Hollywood Ever Review Tour

Monday, November 5th, 2012

Nothing to make an author more nauseated that taking her book on tour. And not just a book tour – but a review tour. I mean, just because someone is willing to read and review your book does NOT guarantee they’ll like it.

Still, I’ve sent Josh and Claire into the hands of some pretty cool book reviewers. I’m going to be optimistic *gulp* Talk about a way to kick off MONDAY! Right? *ahem*

Please feel free to drop by and comment – goodies (you’ll have to stop by the blogs to find out what the goodies are ;) )  will be distributed at the end of the two week review blitz. I’m all about treats! :)

 

November 5:  Me and Reading

November 6:  Enchantress of Books

November 7:  It’s Raining Books

November 8:  From Me to You … Video, Photography, & Book Reviews

November 9:  SnifferWalk

Did anyone read anything fabulous this weekend?

 I admit - I was on a mother-whirlwind of child-related activities. But I did have some time to finish Seducing Avery by Barb Han (BRAVO on the amazing debut novel Barb!), Highland Healer (Another WOW of a Debut by Willa Blair) and I’ve begun The Shattered Dark by Sandy Williams… So I guess I did get some reading done.

And you – what have you been reading???

Blog Stops: Hollywood Ever After (& giveaway too)

Thursday, July 19th, 2012

First things first – the book signing was terrific. Nothing like seeing old friends and making new ones to reaffirm that, maybe, you’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing.

Not only was the book signing fun, but it helped alleviate some of my nerves of Hollywood Ever After’s release day! To all of you that promoted, blogged, tweeted, and facebooked the news – THANK YOU!

Claire and Josh are out in the world, making friends and fans alike – I hope. In a world with so any great reads available, it’s a releif to have my publisher helping with promotions. How you ask?

1. A blog tour – with a very nice giveaway. I won’t give you the specific here, you’ll have to track down and enter on the hosting blogs.

Here are this weeks blog stops:

 

2. Hollywood Ever After is 30% off through the 28th – but only on the InkSpell Publishing website. Here’s the LINK!

 

Happy Book Birthday to ME!

Saturday, July 14th, 2012

It’s HERE!

Hollywood Ever After is NOW available

for your Kindle, Nook, Kobo, and paperback reading needs!

Book Blurb (to really pique your interest):

 Happy Endings are for fairy tales. Or the movies. Not for real life. At least, not in Claire’s life. Even though she’s starting over, she knows better than to want too much this time. But when she falls, literally, into the strong arms of Hollywood’s ‘it’ boy Josh Wiley, Claire’s in for some surprises. Her plans for rest and relaxation are forgotten as one incredible night with Josh becomes two… And her heart begins to want him as much as her body. Will two kids, one bastard ex-husband, and Josh’s juggernaut career mean the end of their affair? Or can Claire find her happy ending after all?

Want more? Here’s the book trailer:

Now you KNOW you want to get a copy! And to make things even better, my publisher, InkSpell Publishing, has a present!!!

Hollywood Ever After is on SALE -

 30% OFF if you order it HERE!

 

Yes, it’s a very Happy Book Birthday for ME. And for you too!

I hope you love Claire and Josh’s story as much as I enjoyed writing it. Let me know.

Off to the book signing and then – more celebrating! :)

Book Signing & Book Birthday Preparations!

Friday, July 13th, 2012

Tomorrow is a BIG DAY!

1. Hollywood Ever After releases!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Isn’t it pretty?

I cannot wait to hear what readers have to say. :)

2. I have a book signing for both my books. Which means I’m super EXCITED… and totally nauseous.

Here’s the thing. Book signings are a wonderful way to meet readers and ‘sell’ your book. There is nothing cooler than having people eagerly snatch up your book, want your autograph, and promptly purchase it. I mean, it’s your book. The book you wrote, went sleepless over, had dreams over, ‘bled’ over – or almost, at times. And now, it’s here for other’s to read and enjoy. Yay! Right?

But… (doubt demons arriving) What if no one comes? What is no one wants your book? What if someone has read your book and was so frustrated by it that they hunt you down to confront you at your book signing? (Okay, I have an overly developed imagination, but I am a writer after all.) Basically, what if the signing is a bust?

There’s no way of knowing.

What I do know? Tomorrow I’m CELEBRATING the release of my second book (that is so awesome to say!)!!!

And I’m having a book signing! And while I’m grounded enough to know that there will not be a line around Barnes and Noble, I do hope that a few folks (not related to me!!) will show up. :)

If you’re in San Antonio (or the Hill Country), feel free to stop by :) ! The details are HERE!

And don’t forget to drop by the Blog Tour for Josh & Claire’s story … and cool Stuff!

 

Greek Mythology Blog Challenge: E is for…

Wednesday, July 11th, 2012

Moving along in my super abbreviated Greek Mythology 101 :)

Because she is near and dear to my heart, I’m going to mention Euryale for E. One of Medusa’s Gorgon sisters, Euryale was everything dreadful that Medusa eventually became. The Gorgons, Euryale and Stheno, were rumored to be almost gargoyle like: tusks, bronze claws, snake hair, and having foul tempers.

 

I have to say, I’d be rather foul tempered if I was saddled with such looks.

But part of one myth reveals that these sisters were fiercely devoted to one another. When Medusa was killed, the sisters began to moan and cry so loudly that all could hear their grief and even the Gods were struck by their suffering.

 

**I have news… :) Hollywood Ever After is almost here! I KNOW! My spicy contemporary romance releases THIS Saturday: July 14th. And to help kick things off in style I’ll be talking all things Hollywood Ever After: Josh, Claire, Hollywood, Red Carpets, Older lady/younger fellow romances, and movies. I hope you’ll drop by once or twice:

 

Happy Birthday to ME – Giveaway!!!

Saturday, June 9th, 2012

This year I’m celebrating big time. YAY!!!

I had a fantastic book signing at a Real Bookstore in Fairview with a wonderful group of fellow North Texas writers AND hugged some friends I’ve dearly missed since relocating.

This afternoon I’m attending Fresh Fiction’s Boas and Tiaras tea party! Talk about a fun weekend.

I will post pics next week – maybe… We’ll see how they turn out – LOL!

And it made me realize how much has changed since my last birthday. Now town, new house… new profession. This is my first birthday as an author. And I want to share the party vibe with you. So - it’s Giveaway time!

Find all the answers can pick between my releases – Hollywood Ever After (releasing on the 14th) or Medusa, A Love Story - digital or paperback AND book goodies as well. Okay, maybe more than 2 – we’ll have to see how this goes. :) Put your answers in the comments and I will draw, post, and email the winners on Monday!

Yes, the quiz is a little ‘self-promoting’ but you should be able to track down the answers online (Goodreads, Facebook, Amazon, my BLOG, etc). Ready? Go:

1. What two books do I have coming out in December?

2. Who sings the song in the Hollywood Ever After Book Trailer?

3. How did I get the idea for Medusa, A Love Story?

4. Which author am I fan-girl crazy over? (hint… Medusa’s cover…)

5. What are the hero and heroine’s names in Hollywood Ever After?  Medusa, A Love Story?

Bonus Question: Why do you want to win one of my books?

If you’ve read and reviewed either book please let me know! You deserve some book pretties in a big way. And hey, it’s my bday, right? Thank YOU for reading my stuff and writing such GREAT REVIEWS! Reviews are like the BEST birthday present or Christmas present all jumbled together. Yes, reviews are that COOL to me – all authors! So if you write reviews then you’re like… uber-Santa? ;)

Starting next week: Medusa, A Love Story starts her Blog Tour. Show her some love, please. We, she and I, are a little nervous about our first tour!
