Updates, Relocation, and Tight White Pants

Fortune Hunter is still coming along nicely. I have about 2 chapters left on the book. The end is in sight. But it's currently on hold for a few days. Got edits for Thief today. So I'm bouncing back to Benjamin and Cavin for a few days to do their edits, then I'll bounce back to Julian and Oscar to finish Fortune Hunter by the end of the month.

I put an except from My True Love Gave to Me on my website. If you want to check it out, it's HERE. It's from chapter 4, but no worries, there aren't any spoilers in it. Well, if you've read the blurb then there aren't any spoilers in it.

In other news, I have officially moved my office to the basement. I'm no longer the author under the cupboards in the garage. I had a couple incidents with little furry things while I was writing. I'd be sitting there, typing away, and hear a *rustle-rustle* then a flash of a little furry thing darting between the cars. Hubby had to be enlisted each time to 'clear' the garage. Usually involved me frantically calling the house from my cell phone while perched on my chair, and yelling at hubby that he needed to come out to the garage now!! For a while, I'd keep the garage door closed and bring Kitteh out with me while writing, but she was no use. Just meowed at the house door to go back inside. Then the other day, hubby went out to the garage and saw a little furry thing. And the garage door was closed at the time. Hubby said it was a chipmunk. They're kinda cute, still... I relocated. So now I'm just a boring author in the basement.

I was at Target the other day and they had a new boy barbie. I got all excited, for about 10 seconds. Then I realized he looked an awfully lot like Ken, and I left 'Nicholas' (aka Ken with combed back hair) on the shelf.

Today's man-candy came courtesy of Janna over at Rarely Dusty Books. I borrowed Mr. Tight White Pants a few months ago. All right. I snagged him. But really, can you blame me?

Cover Lovin' - My True Love Gave to Me

It's cover lovin' time. *g* I'm popping out of the cave to share the cover for My True Love Gave to Me. The book is part of the Men Under the Mistletoe holiday anthology (available 12/5/2011 from Carina Press), which also includes stories by Josh Lanyon, Harper Fox and K.A. Mitchell.

Here's the blurb for the book:

Alexander Norton loathes the festive season. The revelry of the ton is a reminder of Christmas four years ago, when his first love, Thomas Bennett, broke his heart and fled to New York without a word. So when he encounters Thomas at a holiday ball, Alexander is determined not to let on how much he still hurts.

Thomas has returned for one reason only: Alexander. Having finally come to terms with his forbidden desires, he will do whatever he must to convince Alexander to give their love another chance. But instead of the happy, carefree man Thomas once knew, Alexander is now hard and cynical. Saddened to know he's to blame for the man's bitterness, Thomas resolves to reignite the passion he knows lies hidden behind the wall of disdain...

Since I love covers so much, of course I must share the cover for the anthology.

And now I'm ducking back into the writing cave. Fortune Hunter's coming along nicely, but the deadline is starting to loom so I need to keep focused on the book. If you don't see me around the interwebz, it's because I'm busily typing away.
