Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I’m back online and very happy about it. Our cable modem died yesterday, so I wasn’t off-line for long, but it was still an annoyance. It’s amazing to me how much I use the damn internet in one day. From the dictionary to email to random questions where I want an immediate answer. I think maybe I’ll take a week off-line someday and see how long I can actually make it.

In more interesting news, I’ve got a few links to share.

Breathe is now available at…
All Romance eBooks
Amazon (US)
Amazon (UK)
Fictionwise

In related news…
Book Lovers Inc is celebrating its Blogoversary and they are having a giveaway, including a free copy of BREATHE. Happy Blogoversary, Book Lovers Inc!

And in other news…

Thank you all for your continued interest and support. Have a fab weekend!

In celebration of my second release, I have two links to share:

1. Today Reviews by Jessewave is hosting a giveaway. One commenter will win a free ebook of BREATHE.  Stop by for a chance to win and be sure to check out the site’s awesome new look.
2. Also, I’m honored to be the first author interview at writer Deanna Wadsworth’s blog. She’s starting a new series titled “Cocktails and Cock Tales.” Isn’t that a great title? She’s looking for more authors to feature for any of you writers out there who are interested. Deanna recently had her first m/m release, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Congrats, Deanna!! Stop by if you can. I’m talking about my inspiration for Breathe, the easiest part to write, and the hardest, as well as what I’m working on now. Feel free to ask me any questions in the comments section at Deanna’s blog. I’d love to hear from you!

Good luck to all who enter Jessewave’s contest!

Hello. Hope everyone is doing well and is as happy as I am today. Tuesday (March 23) is release day for More at Loose Id! I couldn’t be more excited to see my first book available for others to read.

To help celebrate I’m joining with other authors at Kayelle Allen’s two-day party (March 23 and 24) on her yahoo group, Romance Lives Forever. You’re all invited to come join the fun. I’ll be posting an excerpt and giving away a free copy of More.

Kayelle writes both m/m and m/f romances. She has two releases next week: At the Mercy of Her Pleasure on 3/23 and The Last Vhalgenn in audiobook from AudioLark on 3/24. She’s also a 2010 EPIC Award Winner in Erotic SciFi Romance. Congrats, Kayelle! And thank you for the invite to your party.

Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend.
