She interrupts me. I interrupt her. Elle A. Muse is unfortunately not amused…
I'm irritated because my posts won't publish.
It’s Cyber Monday at Kobo, and I’ve just been informed that HEAD OVER HEELS, Deceiving Derek, and Catching Claire are all being featured in the 50% off promotion. That’s right, 50 percent off!! If you have a Kobo, now’s the perfect chance to take a chance on my romantic comdies.
You must use the promo code to get the discount: 50Cyber
Happy Cyber Monday!
Lo and behold, I have successfully updated my blog sidebar, including adding the new sign-up form for my fancy new newsletter, which is shinier and prettier and all-around way more amazing than it was before (hard to imagine, I know).
See it, see it? It’s in the upper right hand corner of my blog. (Hint, if you’re not reading this post on my blog, you can’t see the newsletter sign-up form, so maybe you should visit my blog right now and have a look).
See how you can choose whether you want the newsletter targeted to your regular ol’ email inbox or, yes, OR, optimized for your smartphone? Please, no applause. I don’t have a smartphone so I have no idea how my newsletter looks on one, although I did choose a simple layout to make it look better on a phone than it otherwise might. Plus, a couple of test bunnies have assured me the newsletter looks FANTABULOUS on their phones.
Go ahead and test out the form by inserting your email address, clicking the format of your choice, and clicking Subscribe. If you already belong to my newsletter, you’ll get a message telling you so. If you don’t already belong to my newsletter, you’ll probably get a chance to opt out via one of those newsletter sign-up confirmation emails. If that doesn’t happen, then you’ll have to suffer until the next edition of the newsletter appears, at which point you can click the unsub link at the bottom of said newsletter.
But why would you want to unsub? :::blinking innocently:::
In the Brilliance is Moi department, I have finally uploaded the audiobook demo for WHERE SHE BELONGS to my webiste. Click the link to visit the page. Once you’re there, click Listen to Demo (to right of book cover or also below book cover) and the demo will pop up in a new window (if you have a media player installed, that is).
The narrator is R.E. Chambliss, who also narrated BORROWING ALEX. She is, like, all sorts of awesome. Like.
Now to move onto actually updating this blog. My blogroll is out of date, and I need to pop in the new covers for Deceiving Derek and Catching Claire. I also need to update the Newsletter signup box. If you use the old box (upper right) before I’ve updated, never fear, I shall be informed and will update my new newsletter program accordingly. An edition just went out the other day.
That says it all! Catching Claire, Story 2 in LOVE & OTHER CALAMITIES, is now on NOOK.
Yippee-yoopie-yahoo!
In other news, I am using MailChimp to design my new newsletter. It’s been a bit of an, um, challenge. I HOPE to send out the first edition this week. The newsletter sign-up form on this blog will still take you to the old Yahoogroups newsletter, which I have not yet disabled. Just in case my MC experiment doesn’t work out. The MC sign-up form, however, is on both my Contact page and the Home page (it’s a graphic on the Home page. Just click the graphic, and magic will happen). FYI.
The trade paperback of the third edition of HEAD OVER HEELS (revised and updated, new and improved!) is finally available on Canadian Amazon. At eight bucks, it makes a great stocking stuffer or holiday gift for anyone who loves to laugh. Especially if you buy a few copies and take advantage of free shipping (hint, hint).
The paperback edition is also on American Amazon and Barnes and Noble–same great opportunity for inexpensive stocking stuffers. However, if you’re Canadian you would not get free shipping, I don’t think.
The problem, shall we say, with ordering from Canadian Amazon, is that the book just went up as available and so currently shows as “temporarily out of stock.” Once someone orders from the site and books are shipped from the American fulfillment center, that “temporarily out of stock” blip will change to something like “2 in stock–more on the way!”
I’d love to tell my Canadian readers how long it will take for Amazon Canada to deliver an order, but I honestly don’t know. I would say order now if you want to receive the books before the holidays and…stuff some laughter in your stocking!

Book Cover and Blurb:
One tiny lie can cause a whole lot of trouble….
Magee Sinclair has had it up to her sassy short hairdo with the recent blunders pushing her family’s advertising agency to the brink. How can she accept the promotion her father plans when she keeps making costly mistakes? She needs to bring in more business however she can. So when new client Justin Kane asks her to role-play as his girlfriend for a weekend in exchange for a lucrative campaign, she jumps at the chance.
Justin’s goal to expand his chain of bike stores hinges on a distribution deal with a manufacturer. First, he needs to impress the man at a mountain resort while they bike trails with their significant others. But Justin’s girlfriend dumps him, forcing him to find a quick replacement. Magee—pretty, clever, and a skilled cyclist—is the perfect choice to masquerade as his “lover.”
Or so Justin thinks.
Because Magee is in major trouble. She knows no more about mountain biking than Justin does about demi-bras. Before long, an irate ex pops up, fake identities abound, and a whole lot of doors slam in the middle of the night. Yet, through the chaos, Magee and Justin discover what it really means to fall head over heels….
I’m spending the next couple of days updating my website and moving my newsletter from Yahoogroups to Mail Chimp. Everyone who was on my Yahoogroups newsletter list has been migrated to Mail Chimp, however, my website newsletter links and the subscribe box on this blog (upper right corner) still point to Yahoogroups.
That’s okay. If you use the newsletter sign-up box to sign up to my old Yahoogroups newsletter before I get a chance to update the blog style sheet, then Yahoo will send me notification that a new member has signed up and I’ll manually input the information on my new Mail Chimp newsletter.
In other words, feel free to continue using my current newsletter sign-up links, because I am cleverly not disbanding the Yahoogroups newsletter group until the Mail Chimp migration and first newsletter prove successful (well, I think it’s clever, at any rate).
