I have not left the house in 3 days…

Monday, December 28th, 2009

And it feels so good. I’m shocked that I’ve showered and put on real clothes.  I’ve logged several hours on Beatles Rockband.  Several more have been devoted to the viewing of British television.  And there has been the Operation interludes (remember Operation?  My niece and nephew got the game for Christmas and they got rid of the charley horse and the wishbone!  The wishbone was the easiest one!  With whom do I lodge a complaint?)  This is what Christmas should be: one day of gifts followed by several of doing nothing but playing with your new toys or new games, reading your new books (my sis got a couple PC Cast books I intend to steal), or just enjoying nothing.  I return to the regularly scheduled programming of work and more work soon enough, but until then, I plan on playing “A Day in the Life” on Hard until I get at least a 95%.

Happy holidays, Happy nothing, and Happy reading, everyone!

Smugglering!

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Hi Everyone!  Quick Blog today, because I am over at the Book Smugglers being initiated into that fabulous rite of passage, Smugglivius, their year-in-review.  I compiled a list of all my favorite things from the year 2009, and there’s a new Summer of You excerpt, AND a giveaway!  It is my Smugglivius gift to you all, so head over and check it out!

In other non-denominational holiday stuff I am pleased to announce… I AM DONE.  Done with cards, done with shopping, wrapping, shipping, decorating, cookie making.  I have completed Christmas and still have ten days to go!  For once in my life, I came in on a deadline early.  I’m so proud of me.

I hope everyone is having a merry go of it… and if you need any last minute gift suggestions… I’ve always found a good romance novel to fit easily into a stocking.  :)

Happy Reading everyone!

The Russian News

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

I have been holding on to this tidbit of information for a while, I didn’t want to say anything until the contracts were signed and filed, but now that they have been, I am pleased to tell you… drumroll please…

I’ve had my first foreign rights sale!  Revealed will be published (sometime in the next 18 months) in Russian!  I am incredibly excited, not only to have Revealed cross the pond, but because it’s a whole new alphabet.  I can’t wait to see what the titles look like in Cyrillic.  :)

In other news, next Monday, Dec. 14th, I will be guest blogging at the Book Smugglers, as part of their annual wrap up holiday, Smugglivus (for the smuggler in all of us).   They have gone all out this year, including having awesome posters:

Remember, Dec. 14th.  Make sure you stop by, I’ll be having a give away, and maybe, if you’ve been good this year, a special sneak peak.

That’s all for now!  Happy Reading, everyone!
