Happy New Year!

May your work week begin on Wednesday...

May your weekend begin on Thursday...

May your next book sell ten million...

May your last book sell even more...

May there always be a tiger in your tank...

May he be as sexy as the hero in your last book...

May your car last into the next century...

May your house miraculously pay itself off...

May your friendships all be long-lasting...

May your bills be mysteriously paid by John Beresford Tipton...

May the Publisher's Clearing House van find you in your lacy skivvies...

May your mailbox be full of chain letters containing $100 bills...

And may your 2011 be happy and bright!

Once Upon a Time...

All of us love books...

At one time or another in our lives, we all find enjoyment in books, whether they be books of poetry, fiction, or non-fiction.  I love to read, as well as write, and my favorite books are romance novels.  When I was young, I loved to read books about horses.  I was a total horse freakazoid.  When I grew older, I loved books about people and feelings.  I read Tolstoy's works in the 6th grade.  I read T E Lawrence's Seven Pillars of Wisdom.  I read Lew Wallace's Ben Hur.  I read everything I could get my hands on.  I devoured the OZ books by L Frank Baum.  I spent hours in my tiny local library (upstairs above the Fire Dept) and in my school library.

As I matured, and raised a family, I found that Romance books gave me enjoyment.  I was able to believe that men and women found special loves, and lived special lives.  It was a revelation of sorts, and I was hooked.

 Now I write books, and that gives me great pleasure.  It is marvelous to know that other women read my books and perhaps find enjoyment in the scenarios and plots I write.  That other women get the shivers when they read a sexy passage in one of my books, and go back to read it again and again.  

So my Christmas gift to the world is my body of works as a romance author.  It is a part of me that I share daily with thousands of other women around the world.  And I hope they enjoy my books as much as I enjoyed writing them.

Hugs!

The year-end holidays are upon us again...

The Year Has Come Full Circle...

And changes not only in the seasons, but also in our lives will force us to make changes in our activities and our pursuits...

I have made some decisions that will give me back more time to pursue my writing, but making those decisions will leave others that I have been helping in a bit of a bind.  It was not easy to make those decisions, because I loved volunteering my time and efforts to make things better for others.

Perhaps after the holidays my life will return to normal, I will be in control of my writing career once more, and I will be able to get back to doing more again.

So I am kissing some of my good pals goodbye, and am striking out on my own to better manage my resources.  Perhaps we will manage to get back in sync once the stresses of the holidays are behind us.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving...and I will post again soon with some contests to lighten the mood.

Hugs, and all my love.
