Found this last night, just when I needed a shot in the arm:
“Social workers, mechanics, soldiers, authors, artists, aliens and vampires, this wonderful collection of stories represents people from across social strata, not to mention time and space. Fiery passion, tender lovemaking, and characters that will worm their way into your hearts prove once again that Ellora’s Cave has quite a few extremely talented people writing for them. The authors that contributed the stories to SEASONS OF SEDUCTION VOLUME III have outdone themselves. Don’t miss one of the best anthologies of 2007, get your copy today!” – Romance Reviews Today Erotic
Edits are gone. Now to send the proposal after ’em. Unfortunately, when I opened it yesterday it looked like drivel, which meant my brain was tired. So I closed it and read Manhunt by Janet Evanovich and laughed myself silly. Then I read about 20 pages of Shadow Music by Julie Garwood. Oh. My. I’m not very far in, but it’s so good. (The 20 pages I read were towards the end, because I had a sudden fear that it was Not A Romance. This is because of the cover and the tag “a novel” by the title. My fears were relieved. Shadow Music is a romance, and it has the flavor of Garwood’s other Scottish historicals.)
Now that I’ve read, laughed, and had a good night’s sleep, I will tackle the proposal again and if anything really does read like drivel I will edit the crap out of it and fix it.
Lots of changes ahead for 2008. This is my year of better life balance. I have lots of goals to achieve and part of my plan for getting there is taking better care of me. Eating right, getting enough sleep, making changes so that daily exercise can happen. Reading more. Time away from the computer to do things with kids. Refilling the well, so that I can keep on happily writing!
I produced a lot of work in 2007. Good work. I also grew a lot as a writer and learned a lot, very valuable lessons. I’m really looking forward to the coming year and to writing this next book. It has a phoenix in it. How freaking cool is that for starting the new year?
Love that Romance Reviews Today Erotic review for SOS III!
You produced a lot of fabulous work in 2007, and I know that 2008 will be even better. May the new year bring you and your family health, happiness and prosperity!
Hugs!
I know, they called it one of the best of 2007! That’s high praise, there.
I am very excited about the writing ahead in 08, along with positive changes. May 2008 be a wonderful year for both of us!
