Happily. Ever. After.

Jiminy Christmas!

by

I’m running out of stupid exclamations.  But really, I couldn’t be more shocked.  I was getting my daughter’s friend a book on Amazon and decided to check out… well… MOI, and there I was… # 10 on the gay and lesbian bestseller list for Kindles.  Here

This changes hourly, and then, when I showed my husband I was #2.  Okay.  I’ve been sick for a few days, and now I dunno.  I’m just so amazed to see myself there at all!  *gasps*  

Okay, I’m seriously working on that Ethan and Barry story to have it all wrapped up and under the tree for you by tomorrow night, when even silly google-wanking writers (oh, you knew that’s what I was doing, didn’t you?) will be tracking Santa’s progress with the offspring and searching the sky for a little red-nose-reindeer.  

I couldn’t have a better year without accidentally losing four sizes and finding the money for a new wardrobe in the attic.  Everyone of the people at my publishing houses and on my flist and in my yahoo group and with whom I’ve had reason to correspond has become very dear to me.  Thanks everyone, I’ll post again tomorrow, but right now, I just wanted to say wow.  And Happy Holidays.

I just discovered The Long Way Home is a Kindle Edition at Amazon!  I have a Sony eReader which I only purchased a week before the Kindle came out, what rotten timing!  It’s not that I don’t like my reader, it’s just that the Kindle sounds so much sexier.  I’m a Kindle Edition, Rawr.  Kiiiiiiinnnndle, like ‘light something on fire’.  Hmm…

Don’t forget you can still be one of the first folks join my Yahoo Group, here, so you can tell everyone you knew me when (I wasn’t a homeless old woman living in her car and talking to statues. 😉 ) I might have mentioned that I’m having a drawing on January first and everyone will have the chance to win a signed print copy of Crossing Borders, and eBook copies of The Long Way Home and St. Nacho’s.

The Long Way Home

by

Thanks to Marame and the wonderful people at Rainbow Reviews, who gave The Long Way Home four stars and wrote what I thought was a very good, thoughtful, and thorough review of the book that you can read right here.

Reviews are scary but they’re also cool.  I actually asked for this one, and it’s the first time I’ve ever sent a reviewer a copy of a book to read.  I’m not really certain how all this works yet, but Rainbow Reviews makes it very easy by giving you a form to fill out.  Somehow that seems less personal and pushy.

The Long Way Home, as everyone probably knows by now, can be found here, at the Aspen Moutain Press site.  In case you missed it, like, maybe you were on the MOON or something and haven’t heard me gushing about this yet. 😉 The Long Way Home is still at number two at All Romance Ebooks!

My day in the sun!

by

I woke this morning to discover, alas, that my day in the sun is over.  Still, considering I never imagined in a million years I’d ever make the top ten of ANYTHING, at all, getting to number one at All Romance Ebooks for twenty-four hours was more than fun.  

Did you ever have one of those days when every news headline from “Jellyfish Gone Wild” to “California Plans to Control Emissions” just cracks you the hell up?  Or a simple misreading of something or being interrupted makes them seem funny?  Like “Protect Your Most Valuable Asset“.  

My family is putting up Christmas lights, and naturally, all four of my men are screaming at each other.  It’s kind of that time of year.  “Shut up, don’t know you know this is a dang joyous family event?!!”  During the annual lighting of the house, my daughter and I hide in my bedroom like the family Frank.  I’m sorry, now, that I didn’t write a Christmas-themed story.  I am sure to rectify that for the coming year, because I like Christmas and have always made an effort to make it as special as possible.  Now that the children aren’t little anymore that has become harder, what with everyone wanting to go everywhere with their friends and liking their music better than carols.  It’s becoming more difficult to involve them in family activities that don’t have to do with them getting cash.  

It’s fun to remember though, back to my own childhood, that when my parents were saying the same things about me I wasn’t gone, I was just different.   

So, tomorrow, the TREE.  Yep.  This will mean housecleaning and possibly cookie baking.  In the mean time I have finished the rough draft, (actually this time I think I really did) of the sequel to St. Nacho’s, and next week I will be working on my one other WIP, ePistols at Dawn and then, perhaps, I can submit them and spend Christmas doing something else besides worrying about work. 

And for Aidara because Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas without Korean boy bands or colorful scooters…

# 2!

by

The Long Way Home has hit #2 on the All Romance Ebooks top ten, right under fellow AMP author Maura Anderson’s Giving Thanks, which has been there at #1 for over two weeks!  I’m currently completely content to sit there with Maura occupying the top two spots.  The air is very fine near the top, and I’m going to enjoy it as long as I can!  (read: until everyone realizes it has all been some awkward mistake!)  

This SERIOUSLY calls for Hrithik Roshan.
