The type of panties I am (because you’ve been wondering…come on, admit it!)


You Are Lacy Panties


You’re one seductive chica, but you’ve also got a ton of class.
You are like a pinup girl, with timeless beauty and sexiness.
Men are afraid to talk to you, knowing they’ll be addicted to your charm immediately.
Only a true manly man, confident in himself, is your perfect match.
What Kind of Panties Are You?

Thirteen Reasons I Want to read “Her Last Fling”

1. How can you not be curious about a heroine who writes an ad which reads: “Looking for free milk? Then I’m not the girl for you…” After all, why buy the cow, when you can have the milk for free?

2. It’s about an online dating service - always wondered how those things worked.

HerLastFling3. The setting of the book is Memphis, someplace I’ve never been.

4. Hero is a dentist - how is that for being different than your typical romance novel?

5. The heroine wears pink stilettos…those must look way cool!

6. The hero tries to woo her with pink flowers. How can flowers ever be a bad thing?

7. Hero continues to court her - by sending witty notes such as “Moofully Yours” and “Thinking of Moo.” Is that clever or what?

8. Cows are so cute! My kids have a Webkins cow and it’s one of their favorites!

9. Somewhere in there is a pink diamond ring. OMG! I want one of those!

10. That’s one SEXY man on the cover!

11. I’ve never gone wrong by reading an Ellora’s Cave book!

12. Jana Mercy has been nice enough to respond to some of my posts over at Writers At Play.

13. Jana may just be nice enough to give something away to a commenter on this post! :-)

Happy Happy

HAPPY EASTER to all who celebrate! And….

In my world, everyone is a pony and they eat rainbows and poop butterflies.

That was a quote from the movie “Horton Hears a Who” which I saw last night with my husband and twins. It was their choice as today is their birthday. They are nine. OMG. Was it really nine years ago I was in the hospital being sliced open to removed two FULL TERM babies who were just happy as can be inside of me? It’s a cliche, but time sure does fly by…speaking of which, be sure to check back in another two months when my oldest turns sixteen! Ack!! I’ll really be freaking out then! LOL!

Vote for LORD!

If you’ve been reading the “romance” blogs lately, you’ll have seen the March Madness set up by Smart Bitches, Trashy Books and Dear Author LordoftheFadingLands (plus other sponsors!). It’s like a basketball tournament and Dog Show mixed in one. Books face off against one another to compete for the best of the best. But the match-ups aren’t apples to apples. So we’ve got an Australian Sheepdog (paranormal) against an Irish Wolfhound (historical) today. Both are FABULOUS books! But, Cheryl Wilson is a playpal and Lord of the Fading Lands has hit the NYT Bestseller list, so it’s no doubt that she gets my vote! Head over to Smart Bitches and check out the voting for today. Be sure to scroll down, hers is the second match-up!

I am 2:11 am

You are 2:11 a.m.

Your time of day has a split personality — sometimes it’s sweat-streaked and loud, and you’re on the dance floor, getting your third wind, and shouting lyrics like you’ll never run out of energy. You are the time of night that carves itself into your memory forever, because you’ll never forget how much you love these people and this moment and this song. It’s not always about unforgettable parties, though. Sometimes your late night (err? early morning) burst of energy happens when you’re home alone. Those are the times when you say, “I flat out refuse to go to sleep until I finish reading this book, or typing this page, or reorganizing my entire closet.” In either case, you are the time of night when it feels sort of forbidden to be awake, but you love accomplishing something special long after everyone else went to bed. And hey — you can always catch up on sleep tomorrow, right?
