Yes, I'm on vacation...but...

I'm taking a summer hiatus from blogging since I became one of those annoying -- come see my blog post here -- bloggers. I'll be back in the fall when 2/3 of my brood is having their horizons expanded.

BUT

I got a fab review today for Pride & Passion and wanted to share a snippet.

The writing is fantastic, the character development is brilliantly done, and the pace of the story is excellent...don’t miss your chance to read Pride and Passion. - Long & Short Reviews

Mr. Fix It

I have the coveted Male on Monday post on The Pink Heart Society!

New Review

I love Google Alerts :) I found a new review for Pride & Passion today - The Romance Studio says..."Lily and Jake's rocky romance is a pleasure to read."

Reading = Happiness

It's beena busy year for me, and not on the writing front! So much has been going on, and time has passed quickly. Lucky for me, I am blessed with two friends to managed to get me to focus on myself just a little bit.

One bought me a Nook. Huge gift, right? I know, she's amazing. But the gift has been more than the e-reader. I realized the other day that I had only read 10 books this year. Ten. I hover around a hundred every year. For me, 5 months and 10 books is a serious reading drought! The Nook has really helped remind me of my love of reading and how a great stpry can fill up my soul.

Another friend and I went to Las Vegas. No husbands, no kids. It was so much fun, and I had all that time on the airplane to read!!

The first 4 months of the year, 10 books. The last two weeks of May, 4 books! No wonder I feels so much better!!

Today at The Pink Heart Society...

I'm using my Slushing Through column to talk about writing...when I should actually be writing.
