Monday Moans

Wendi was part of a halloween hunt, and a guest blog, and pimped Megan and Kealie's stuff, as well as pimping Menagerie stuff (did you read that story...whew!) Then there's the excitement of halloween, cuz yanno, halloween is a lot of work and play.

So she's letting me talk...well, write. Anywho...the name's Rhett. Rhett Ione. I'm in the Air Force and my blood runs red, white, and blue. Or jet fuel. Either works. Give me a curvy woman--blondes are my poison--or a gun metal grey beaut, yanno, the kind that have props, jet engines, and mega fire power.

Want to know more about me? I love tats, but know when to keep them contained. Hey, I won't lie, I like women. Tall, short, curvy, blonde, brunette...ok, blondes are my poison, like I said, but guys can look.

Why am I here? Wendi invited me. Her book, You'll Think of Me comes out on November 22 and, you guessed it, I'm in the book. I love both Cade and Mel (not in that way, he'd kick my ass--for seeing him in that way and because if Cade thought I wanted to be with Mel in that way, I'd lose my nads. Hey, Cade's my boy, but his last deployment to Iraq was anything but fun. Yeah, I worry about him. But I know Mel is the one woman who is strong enough to deal with him and love him the way he needs.

Man...I hate when I get deep. Makes me all depressed. Damn.

Ok, I'm going back to doing something involving juggies and beer.

Monday Moans and a Release

I'd say get your head out of the gutter, but why? It's fun to be dirty. Now normally, this would be my Monday Moan day. I'd let characters come, play, and meet you all. Storm and Stevie, from My Immortal. I blacked out the windows and kept the room cool for Storm, since he's not used to being up right now.

Today is the realease of my first paranormal novel, you guessed it, My Immortal. Click on the cover or title to purchase.



But that's not all. I'm also taking the book out on a tour. Goddess Fish created a blog tour for me and the book. Want to follow? Click here or on the cover badge.



Follow me and comment and you can win a copy of My Immortal. In fact, I'd love it if you came along for the ride. The first stop, the TODAY stop is to You Gotta Read. I can't wait and hope to see you there.

But wait! There's even more! Goddess Fish rocks and they are throwing a Release/Tour Party TODAY!!! Click here or the banner to check it out!



Whew... that's a lot of fun time. Join us so we aren't partying/blogging/buying alone! Just don't forget to comment!

Neglected

Yes, my poor blog has been neglected. My pal Megan keeps reminding me that she needs to post too, but like me, she hasn't.

Why?

Oh, too many irons in the fire. The recent rejection kicked my butt, but I keep working on my stories. I have at least one character who shouts in my head because he wants to get out. Then there was that little family incident. It's just been more than a tad frustrating.

So what am I doing right now, besides blogging? Goddess Fish Promotions set up a cool blog tour for both my books. I can't wait. But then it also entails answer questions and writing blog posts. So, while I'm writing them for other places, my blog gets... well, you get the idea.

I"m twiddling with a WIP that was my NaNo story. Maybe, just maybe I'll get it in shape. I'd love to if for no other reason than the characters want their say. I only hope it's as punchy and fun as Right, since it's the follow-up.

I have a story that I'm not even sure my CP's will help with because it's a taboo... a M/M story. Well, really, the character wants to be with his wife and his boyfriend in a committed threesome. We'll see.

I'll try to post the days and locations of my tour tomorrow.

Oh and Monday, besides visiting Helen's Heroes with Logan, and hanging out with Kealie at the Menagerie... It's the OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE FOR MY FIRST EVER RELEASE: LEARNING HOW TO BEND! For that, I truly am stoked. Great day and I get to spend it with some of my very favorite-est people.

HAPPY EASTER!

Happy Easter!

Thinking about what Easter symbolizes and realizing that people have better things to do on a holiday rather than read a blog, I thought I'd babble for a bit.

Shouldn't surprise you much, me babbling.

But the idea of renewal, rebirth, and second life had me thinking.

If you'd asked me ten years ago what I'd be up to, I'd have told you I'd be a teacher, I'd be making art, and probably single again. That didn't quite happen. Well, I did become a teacher, I did create art for a living, and I am happily a married mom of one. But I guarantee, I'd never thought back then that I'd be a writer. Do I consider myself a professional? I'd like to, but I can't quit my day job. Still, writing has opened up totally new worlds to me and given me a day job I actually love (besides writing and playing mommy). I met some great friends who are my closest friends. I've learned that happiness comes in the form of an email. And an email can be the worst thing in the world. I've found that people only think you are a writer if they can hold your book in their hands. An ebook to most people I know, is just a thingy on a screen. I found that waiting for contracts, edits, cover art, and release dates is just about as infuriating as nine months of pregnancy. Sheesh. I love my Ds, but I thought he'd never arrive. Same thing for my novel. Kinda like him, when I hold it in my hands, I'll know it's real.

But enough babbling for now. You've got things to do and people to see. So do I.

Toodles.

New Contract for Must Be Doing Something Right!

Just wanted to tell you all since I finally got said contract in my hot little hands, Total-E-Bound contracted the follow-up to Learning How to Bend, entitled, Must Be Doing Something Right. This is the story of Courteney and Nate (who shows up in LHTB). I got a tentative release date of late June.

I'm psyched.

I also sent in my farmer (now 40k) for resubmission and vampire (42k) is currently with and editor under first consideration.

Wish me luck.

Toodles.
