Win A Copy of Secrets 26!

exes_and_ahhs_lgMy buddy, my friend, my life-long pal, erotic romance author Kate St. James, is the Godiva of the week ALL WEEK at Candy Ready’s blog. That’s from now until Friday, folks. Visit today and tomorrow to read Candy’s two-part interview with Kate, and drop by again Wednesday and Thursday to read excerpts from Exes & Ahhs, Kate’s latest novella featured in Secrets 26: BOUND BY PASSION.

Every time you leave a comment, you’ll enter to win a free autographed copy of Secrets 26. And, what’s even more wonderful, you can enter up to 5 times. That’s five—count ’em—five, chances to win Secrets 26!

The winner will be announced Friday—not here, but on Candy Ready’s blog. So don’t leave a comment here to win Secrets 26—you have to leave the comments there. Well, you can leave a comment here if you want, telling Kate how wonderful she is, and I will make sure to pass it on to her (not difficult, sometimes I swear she’s living in my head). But comments posted here will not enter you in the contest for the free copy of Secrets 26. Only the comments entered at Candy’s Ready’s blog from Monday to Thursday, January 12th-15th will. Winner chosen Friday, January 16th.

Phew.

Sorry to clarify to the extreme, but after receiving several pitches in the comments section of my recent post about the BookEnds pitch critiques, I figured I’d better.

Facebook Thoughts

Facebook is driving me nuts lately. Too many Applications!

Don’t laugh, Natalie D.

I shall persevere, however, because I primarily connect with a few true friends through Facebook, plus I’ve gotten in touch with several old friends through Facebook, too. However, overall, this video hits the Facebook experience on the nose for me.

Apologizes for words like puke and p*ss (that is, if they offend you. If they don’t offend you, the apologies are hereby retracted).

Jan & Feb Guest Bloggers

I still haven’t quite gotten back into the swing of things, so I thought I’d make this short and sweet and mention my upcoming guest bloggers.

Next Wednesday, January 14th, young adult author Tina Ferraro is blogging and giving away a copy of her about-to-be-released ABCs OF KISSING BOYS. In fact, she’s blogging the day after the official release, January 13th. We were going to have her come by on the actual release date, but that’s my birthday and I’ll be slacking off, LOL. So if you’re interested in writing YA or you have a young teenage friend who wouldn’t mind winning a free book, make sure to drop by.

February 9th brings Superromance author, Susan Gable, who will give away a copy of her latest Super, A KID TO THE RESCUE. Susan’s first book, THE BABY PLAN, earned her a RITA nomination for Best First Book in 2003, so this is another author you don’t want to miss.

March is pretty much Guest Blogging Month! When I sent out the call for guest bloggers, I received a ton of requests for March. Every week will feature another guest author. You can check out the Guest Blogger listing beneath my blog roll to see who’s coming when.

After March, my next guest isn’t scheduled until May, so if you are an author, or know of an author, who would like to blog at Muse Interrupted in April, drop me a note/send them my way. My email address is on my Contact page.

I also wouldn’t be adverse to hosting another author each for January and February. Dates from mid-month on are available for both months.

Okay, that didn’t turn out short, but winning free books is awfully sweet. 😉

Snow Days

I had to cancel all my appointments today, and I had a few, including very much needed chiropractor and massage therapy appointments. Luckily, other locals are as snowed in as I am, so I grabbed a couple of cancellations for tomorrow. There goes my first whole day of writing since Eldest Son came home for Christmas.

He made it back to university last night. Had some waits, but at least his flight wasn’t cancelled. If he’d traveled Sunday or today, I’m certain the flights would have gone down the drain.

I can’t remember this much snow in my life. I know we had very snowy winters in the early Seventies, but I was talking to a fellow dog-walker the other day who’s lived in my neighborhood for fifty years, and he says this is the snowiest winter he can recall.

How about you? Is the weather still going crazy in your part of the world? Don’t get me wrong, the snow up here is GORGEOUS, but I have books to mail and I haven’t been to the post office since before Christmas. I haven’t done ANY unnecessary driving. However, walking in deep snow in Sorels is great exercise, and my dog does love to walk, no matter the weather. At least I’m getting my exercise!

I’m (Nearly) Back

Eldest Son flies back to university tonight—unless he gets snowed in again, heh, heh. Then he’ll have to stay another day.

At any rate, I’m nearly ready to return to the world of blogging. Keep checking back. While you’re at it, let me know how your holiday went. Did you have a good time?
