• Email Inbox Surprise

    January 6, 2012 /


    Thursday morning started out pretty normal. Up at the crack of dawn, quick get ready to go work-out. I was spending quality time with the elliptical at my local LA Fitness when my iPhone rang out–ooooops, forgot to silence it.

    Well, since it dinged…..I clicked open my email.

    Subject line read: YOUR BOOK HAS BEEN CHOSEN BEST READ OF 2011

    Yes. I totally almost fell off my elliptical.

    Thankfully I didn’t because I would have broken something. Probably my hand, and that would mean no more typing for a while. **worst nightmare EVER**

    Okay, so, with shaking fingers, me trying NOT to fall, and resisting the urge to start hyperventilating I open the message.

    Turns out theParanormal Romance Guild’sreviewers get together and pick their favorite reads over the past year. Then they put them out there for the READERS to vote on.

    Now, I know it sounds corny, but I truly am honored just to be nominated. I mean, look at the other nominees? HOLY COW.

    Your task, should you choose to accept is:

  • Throwback Thursday…book style

    December 15, 2011 /


    So, I was thinking–I know that’s a bit scary for you all, but hang with me.

    Now, I get asked ALL the time if I’ve wanted to be a writer all my life. Or if I grew up reading and writing all the time….

    Actually. Nope. I mean, I read some, but there’s one book I DO remember reading.

    Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, by Judy Blume.

    When I read it, I was like WHOA…can they write about that stuff?

    But it was cute, intriguing, and funny.

    So for our Throwback Thursday, I’d love to hear about a book that influenced you while growing up Smile
