Drumroll….

I’m taking a break from copy edits, agent revisions and my longer-than-hell-and-back to-do list — which all has to be finished before I leave for San Francisco on Tuesday (How the heck does everything manage to come at once?!) — to pop in and say hello. I know I’ve been scarce. See above list and you’ll know why.

But without further adieu, I thought I’d share my official author photo for my books:

What do you think? Personally, I love it. The photographer did a fabulous job. He took a bunch of shots, but this one just screamed I’m it! I just got it today and already zipped it off to my editor. One more thing crossed off that list!

My copy edits for STOLEN FURY are also done – thank goodness! And now STOLEN HEAT gets one more quick read-through before being sent to my editor. Then it’s party time in San Francisco. I had a whole blog planned about shopping for conference clothes (and my DH saying, “Why the heck do you need new clothes again?!) but I don’t have time to write it. Maybe if I get some down time in SF…of course then I’ll have all this fun dirt to share with you!

If you’re going to be in San Fran for the RWA conference, stop me and say hi. If not, I’m taking my camera, so don’t fear, I’ll have lots of juicy tidbits to share when I get back.

Busy Day

First item of importance – my cover flats for STOLEN FURY arrived yesterday from my publisher. And, um, can I just say…I’m in TOTAL FRICKIN‘ LOVE with this cover!!!!! I know I saw it in .jpg form already, but the real deal is sweet! The title’s embossed, my name is embossed (and looks huge!) and the back and spine are just gorgeous. (I don’t know why the spine excites me so much…maybe because it just looks so…real!!!) I’ve already gushed to my agent, my editor and my CPs. I know they’re probably sick of hearing about this already but…oh well! I’m giddy all over again! Now I can’t wait to see the book with pages inside.

So…busy day here today…I’m having my author photos taken this afternoon. I hope we get at least one good – usable – shot. We’re also doing family pics afterwards with the same photographer (he’s awesome), so I’m busily doing laundry, making sure everyone has something clean that matches. Last night I was up until one AM doing research on poisoning deaths for the wip. I ordered a bunch of books from amazon on poisonings, which I hope arrive ASAP. I’m at a point in the wip where I need this info like, now. I’ve contacted several people with my research questions about how to make a poisoning death look natural, and the best response I got came from my beta reader’s brother (who is a PA in the local area). He said, “Um…does your husband know you’re looking for this information?” I did have to laugh. I suppose if you didn’t know I was a writer, it could raise all kinds of red flags.

Okay, off to heard gremlins. Will report back on the photo shoot later. And hopefully soon I’ll have author pics to share – I’ll probably need opinions on which one to go with.
