Caturday!

If someone could just turn on the TV, Scooter's caturday would be complete.

"You look stunning, babe."

I'm over at Fictionistas today with a few comments on today's Royal Wedding!

Look what's out today!

Roxanne St. Claire's FACE OF DANGER releases today!

*Amazon buy link*

Blurb:

Private investigator Vivi Angelino loves living life on the edge, but stepping into the shoes of a movie starlet to bait a serial killer isn't just a thrill . . . it's a ticket to the big time for her fledgling security firm. That is, as long as a certain risk-averse FBI agent stays out of her way-and out of her fantasies.

Assistant Special Agent in Charge Colton Lang isn't above using his well-worn rulebook to stop Vivi's latest walk on the wild side. But when they learn her client is involved in something far more insidious than bad acting, Vivi and Colt must work together despite the electrifying attraction arcing between them. For each new clue is bringing them closer to a high-profile crime with a dark and deadly truth at its core . . . and a cold, calculating murderer with nothing left to lose.

Have you read the rest of the Guardian Angelinos series?

Engage your brain and answer this

Here's a little something to get your brain working:

Let's say you have something of great value you need to hide in your house. And let's say that the valuable thing is something small - a few rare gold coins, a small bag of diamonds, a flash drive with secret documents, a clutch of forged papers - you get the idea. Where do you put it? What's the least liking place for someone to look for it? Can you come up with a place that's also easily accessible, should you need to grab your treasure and run?

Go!

What's new with you?

And just like that, it's Monday again. I don't hate Monday like a lot of people - I actually see it as a clean slate. A fresh start to a new week filled with potential. (That feeling usually disappears long before Wednesday, but hey, at least my week starts out well.)

Not much new to report except my Facebook fan page has a brand new look! If you haven't seen it yet, you can check it out here. (Feel free to hit the "like" button while you're there.) What do you think? There's an exclusive excerpt available on that page as well.

Now, what's new with you?

Caturday!

Lounging. Yer doin it right.

Big News!

I'm announcing some big news over at the Fictionistas today! You don't want to miss it!

Are you feeling cold?

Or was that a Shiver Of Fear? (See what I did there?) Roxanne St. Claire's latest romantic suspense hits the shelves today!

Blurb:

The legacy that haunts her . . .

The mystery she must solve . . .

A man who threatens to reveal her secrets . . .

and break her heart.

Burned by a failed marriage, former FBI agent Marc Rossi wants back in the investigation game with no emotional strings attached. Taking an assignment for his enterprising Angelino cousins, he heads to Northern Ireland to pry a key piece of evidence from a missing socialite-any way he can. But when the ice queen turns out to be warm, beautiful, and on a secret mission of her own, the job becomes a passionate reminder of what happens when duty and desire mix. The daughter of an infamous fugitive, Devyn Sterling has survived betrayal only to find that her mother has mysteriously disappeared. When her search uncovers secrets, lies, and threats, Devyn and Marc must trust each other when every instinct says they can't . . . and a terrorist wants to make sure they won't live to try.

WANT!

I know Petite Lap Giraffes are not real. That does not stop me from wanting one. Or watching their live cam.

Addiction, I has it. Seriously, what's the legal limit for cuteness? Because I think the PLG's have crossed it.

I really need one of these. Really. I'm sure it would not only entertain me, but somehow make me a better writer.

Caturday!

If my editor is reading this, my book is going to be a little late...

I'm rooting for you!

For all those of you sitting by your phone today, waiting on the edge of your seat for the call that will tell you you've finaled in either the Golden Heart or the RITA, I'm rooting for you.

I've been there (2 x GH finalist) and I know how you feel! Now, good luck and let the games begin!

You can keep track of the finalists as the notifications come in here.

Dark Kiss Of The Reaper

I have a new book out today! Dark Kiss of the Reaper is a dark paranormal romance. Here's the 411:

Blurb:

The Angel of Death has a name: Azrael. He also has a purpose - to soothe the souls of the suffering into the peaceful passage of the afterlife. But in his twilight existence, Azrael himself has never known peace or pleasure...

Until he meets Sara, the first mortal who can somehow see him in his Reaper form. Charming and spirited despite bearing her own burdens, she intoxicates him with the pleasures of life, even taming his brutal dark side with her fearlessness. But Azrael’s new happiness is short-lived when he realizes Sara’s health is fading. The bright flame of her life is about to be blown out.

And he’s to blame.

I hope y'all like it! Isn't the cover gorgeous? (Mad thanks to Kim Killion for that!) If you check it out, let me know what you think!

Looking for a fun read?

I just finished Kristan Higgins latest, My One and Only. I've been a fan of her work since I started reading her a few years ago - the quirky characters, the ever-present pet, the bumbling ex, the family members in need, the small town that becomes a character itself - I know what I'm getting when I pick up one of her books, but she always manages to reinvent her standards in a new and interesting way.

My One and Only is no exception and probably the freshest of her books that I've read (and I've read them all.) Without fail, she writes a book that will entertain. I could see where this one might even make you cry. (It didn't me, but then I have a heart made of titanium.)

If I were the ratings type, I'd give this a five out of five. If you're looking for a fun contemporary read or have a thing for reunion stories, give this one a try.

Next up: Maria Geraci's The Boyfriend of the Month Club - already started it and loving it!

The Coolness!

Some days in your life are just officially cooler than others. Today is one of those days. Why, you ask? (And I'm so glad you did.) Because I discovered something over the weekend.

My gothic urban fantasy series? The one that's coming out from Orbit this fall? It's now officially available for pre-order on Amazon and Barnes&Noble. B&N only has the first book listed, but I'm sure the others will be along shortly.

Here they are, if you want to, you know, pre-order them. *winkwink*

Flesh And Blood
Bad Blood

No, the covers aren't available yet. I really, really wish I could share the first cover with you, but I can't yet. I promise, it's like nothing you've seen before. As soon as I can, I'll show it to you. Until then, trust me when I say it's worth the wait.
