News and the Requisite “I’m a Bad Blogger” Apology

Hi everyone, I’m a bad blogger. I know. I’m sorry. I used to do so much better. But that was before. Before Twitter and Facebook…and writing All The Books.

Even so, I like to try and do a little better than I have been. So I will try.

Okay, now onto the news.

I was just at RWA in Atlanta and I had a fabulous time! I roomed with my critique partner and good friend Jackie Ashenden (who writes for Entangled, Samhain and now St. Martin’s Press) and we had SO MUCH fun, and very little sleep.

The Harlequin Party was fabulous, as always, and we got this wonderful bright pink socks in honor of the new line that Harlequin and Cosmo magazine are partnering for, Cosmo Red Hot Reads!!

Why yes, there I am wearing the socks. As a reminder to get a move on and finish my own Cosmo Red Hot Read…Crazy Stupid Sex, which comes out early 2014!

Yep, that’s right! I’ve sold two books to the Red Hot Reads imprint and I’m absolutely thrilled! These are fun, sexy books with lots of banter and humor. I think they’re a nice bridge between my Presents and my Single Title Contemporaries. More urban set, like my Presents, but with a heavy dose of funny, like my STs. 😉

Combined with an extra short story I’m writing for Harlequin (more info on that as I can share…that’s tied to some VERY EXCITING NEWS!) and my upcoming trip to Australia, where I will be speaking at RWAus, I am a busy little bee.

But as I was telling my editor over dinner in Atlanta (oh, she so wonderful!), it’s like getting paid to go to Disneyland every day. Or, as she put in, being married to Henry Cavill.

Those are both very good things. 😉

So even though I’m busy, I certainly can’t complain!

Also, thank you all who bought Unbuttoned, the reception to it has really been wonderful and I’m looking forward to the release of Unexpected in August.

Hopefully I’ll be a better blogger between now and then. If not, you know where to find me! Facebook or Twitter. 😉
