I’m off to Orlando until Sunday for the RWA Conference. If you’re going, I hope to see you there. If you’re not, I hope you have a fabulous week with many good things happening to you.

I’ll try to post during the conference, but in case I don’t, forgive me ahead of time! LOL. It will be a busy five days and I expect I’ll be just trying not to get lost in the giant hotel.

See you online soon!

Today I’m blogging with Fatin over at her blog, talking about switching gears and writing a contemporary erotic romance, UNBRIDLED.

I’m also giving away an Amazon GC – so swing on by and hang out too!

If you pop by the Smutketeers blog today, I also have a bit post there about obsession… Swing on by there to hang out with those awesome babes and celebrate RG’s first NY release.

P.S. I got to meet Fatin this past weekend at my book signing. She is as sweet and lovely in person as she is online.

Today’s eye candy for your viewing pleasure.

I’ll be at the Barnes & Noble at Streets of Southpoint Mall in Durham, NC today. Hope y’all can make it!

I’ll be signing both RUTHLESS HEART and UNBRIDLED.

It’s Friday, and it’s also July 23. That means I have four days to get ready for my first 5-day trip to Orlando. Then after that trip, I have 2 days to get ready for a 6-day trip to Vegas for a work conference.

I feel like the calm before the storm, as if there’s just a slight breeze ruffling my hair, but just over the horizon is a 100 mph monster waiting to bear down on me. *eep*

I’ve got a million things to do and four days to get it done. I also have a book signing tomorrow. Ack!

Okay, calm, calm, calm, right?

I hope to see some of you tomorrow at my book signing tomorrow at 2 pm at Barnes & Noble at Streets of Southpoint mall in Durham, NC.

Yay! I like hump day, and not just because it’s “hump” day ;), but because it means it’s only two days until Friday. Woot, woot!!

Life is rumbling along at normal warp speed. I’m working my “real job”, squeaking in time on my WIP, trying to get ready for the RWA conference in Orlando next week, and attempting to spend time with my family. The days go by fast though, don’t they? *sigh*

My 14 YO starts high school in a month. *sniff, sniff* I am getting e-mails about stuff for him and I want to weep at the heavens. It’s my baby, y’all. I don’t care that he wears an 11 1/2 size shoe or that he’s taller than me. He’s still my baby.

Speaking of babies, we’re adding another teenage boy to our house tomorrow. My son’s friend is in a bad situation (short end of the stick as far as parents go) and he has four months until he enters the Air Force. So we’re taking him in and giving him a home for as long as he needs it. My grocery bill may never forgive me. LOL. Seriously though, he’s a good kid and I’m glad to give him a family when he needs one.

So, life is, as always, insane!

Have a great “hump” day y’all!!

My cable modem died and I was offline. It was very traumatizing and I felt paralyzed without it.

Pitiful, isn’t it? Seriously y’all, I missed posting my blog yesterday and being online all weekend. I feel like I’ve been away forever. LOL. Now I’m back online (yay baby!) and raring to go. I think. Coffee is required though.

I got my hair cut yesterday by my fabulous hairdresser Lacie. She gave me a nice bob, haven’t had one in a loooong time. I like it! For those of you who will see me this Saturday at my book signing or in Orlando at RWA – you get to see the lovely new ‘do.

I’m so glad to be back amongst the land of the connected.

Have a fabulous Tuesday!

Okay it’s been a rough week at work. I feel like I’ve been in a blender. Ugh. The good news is I’m catching up! I’ve mailed out swag, sent GCs, and even managed to mail a graduation card to my nephew (5 days after his party).

It’s progress people – so work with me and give me a wahoo!

Today UNBRIDLED is featured over at the lovely Elisabeth Naughton’s blog. She’s giving away prizes, y’all, so I’d head over there and check it out! Oh, and definitely order her new release ENTWINED – Elisabeth rocks the house, seriously.

Anyhoo, I have a very old friend coming in tomorrow. We’ve been friends for about 27 years and she is the reason I married my DH – the catalyst behind the coming together of two people. *awww* So we’re going to catch up on the last 10 years and eat and drink – it will be a fabulous time.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

If I owe you a book, a gift certificate, an e-mail, or even a hello, I’m behind. Sorry y’all, but I am behind on everything. Ugh.

I’ve been working on editing and what I call “spackling” Gideon’s story and I’ve fallen behind on everything else. I feel like a heel for not doing what I need to, but I promise by the end of the week, I hope to be done and can take my head out of my ass.

Anyhoo, I hope y’all have a great Tuesday. I was disappointed and elated to hear it was not Wednesday, because I have an extra day to finish but it’s an extra day until the week is over. LOL.

I know it’s been a while since Monday Eye Candy – I had weeks of new releases to pimp. :) Today’s eye candy for your viewing pleasure.
