Thanks for letting me share my hobby! (I love making these.)

Me: Good morning, honey. Please pick a number between 1 and 48.

Husband: Fifteen. Now please make coffee.

He’s so well trained. (‘Course I am, too, since I went off to make coffee.)

Number fifteen in the comments is Greta. Congrats, Greta! Please drop me a note via the contact form on my site and I’ll get it out to you.

Oh, and how much does my husband rock? He sent off a whole bunch of books yesterday so I didn’t have to manage a stack of mailings and an active toddler at the same time. Today he took the last batch, so if you won a book from me you can start expecting it in the mail. I had four international winners. You know who you are. Your books will take a bit longer, of course.

Today is a chili festival in my town. The weather is somewhat taking the fun out of it. It’s supposed to be in the eighties today. Come on, autumn! Stop just making visits and stay awhile.

Once upon a time, long, long ago, a young woman locked herself in her office for about three months to write her first book. She almost failed that particular semester at college, went to sleep with pens and books tangled in the sheets around her, and only ate pre-prepared fatty foods because cooking took too much time.

Instead of the Freshman Fifteen, I gained the First Book Fifteen. I’ve been fighting with that same fifteen pounds ever since. I’ll lose it and keep it off for a while, but eventually it will spring back and stick to my hips and thighs once more.

Luckily I never seem to gain more back than my fifteen wittle friends, but they’re enough in my opinion. Maybe one I’ll stop fighting with them and just say “Okay! This is my body. I accept it.” I respect women who do that more than I can say. I’m weak and I just keep fighting.

So, Weight Watchers here I come. I start today. Again.

The winner of yesterday’s book, Witch Blood, is Natasha A. Congrats! Please drop me a note with your snail mail via the contact form on my web site, Natasha.

*sniffle* That was the last book, but stay tuned! At noon (eastern time) I’ll be announcing the winners of the main contest.

Hey, wait a minute. What’s this? I think I may have found one last book to give away and it’s an ARC…of something….

Witch Blood, by Anya Bast

A water witch, Isabelle Novak has always led a chaotic, nomadic existence. But her life spins out of control when her sister—her only friend and emotional anchor — is killed by a demon. Driven by grief and a desire for revenge, she turns her back on the Coven and the rede they hold sacred: Harm thee none…

When Isabelle first encounters Thomas Monahan, she’s running on pure rage and sorrow, channeling her pain into power — and trying to freeze the life out of a warlock she holds responsible for her sister’s death. Together, they form an uneasy alliance to hunt and destroy a demon of tremendous power. As head of the Coven, earth witch Thomas must thwart Isabelle’s dark impulses, but his very presence stirs deeper desires she never knew she had…

If you were going to write a novel, what would it be about?

My answer: Ha. I’ll skip this one.

Winner of yesterday’s book, Into the Darkness, is catslady. Congrats! Man, everyone is afraid of spiders!
Catslady, please drop me a note via the contact form on my web site with your snail mail. (I’m going to be saying some variation of that phrase in my sleep for the next month since I’ve written it so much. *g*)

Btw, I’m doing a CHAT about The Chosen Sin on Sunday, October 5th (9pm est) at Writerspace. I hope to see you there!

When He was Bad, by Cynthia Eden and Shelly Laurenston

Two of paranormal romance’s bestselling authors combine their extraordinary talents and set the pages on fire with an after-dark anthology featuring Alpha males so hot, so wild, and so bad, they may just be the best you’ve ever had…

I’m too dangerous for her. I know it, but I can’t get my sexy new neighbor out of my head. When I hear her scream one night, the absolute last thing I expect to see is Miranda Shaw-star of my hottest fantasies-being attacked by a vampire. Now the undead jerk is after her, and I’m the only thing standing between the beautiful lady and a killer who just won’t stop. Well, too bad for him, because that vamp has just made the worst mistake of his afterlife-he’s tangled with a shifter. And Miranda, well, she’s so busy watching out for him that she won’t see me closing in on her-not until it’s too late-and I’m about to show her just how wild I can get.

Want a chance to win it? Comment and answer the question below. I’ll draw a winner tomorrow morning. One entry per person, please.

Describe your dream vacation.

My answer: White sand beach, warm blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico, margarita in my hand and my husband at my side. Oh, and I’d be deadline free.

Into the Darkness, by Delilah Devlin

A woman’s hunt for pleasure knows no rules . . . and no boundaries.

With one sharp, sensuous, biting kiss, he will be hers for life . . . and beyond.

Want a chance to win it? Comment and answer the question below. I’ll draw a winner tomorrow morning. One entry per person, please.

Do you have a remarkable phobia? Does your phobia have a large impact on your life?
Or do you have any odd nervous habits?

My answer: I used to have a fear of tornadoes that was so bad a mere watch would make me have panic attacks. Then last January (yes, January), one side-swiped our house and almost took off the roof. Now my fear is gone. Weird, huh?
