Happy New Year! (with a sweet review!)

In a couple of weeks I'll be busy pimping 2 books at the same time.

Not sure how that happened, er, yeah I do. I screwed up. lol
I signed on to a week blog tour for Not An Angel, and it so happens to be the same week Diamonds is coming out. Diamonds was scheduled the first week of January, but it was pushed back. Oh boy. I can do it, no problem-oh. lol. I look forward to the challenge. :-)

Anyway, not sure if I shared this very sweet review of Not An Angel I found on Booked Up!

Or you can just read it here.

Reviewer: Dolce Amore

After I read the book summary I was very interested in reading the book. I mean, who can resist when the heroine is a damsel in distress and the hero is a vampire? Not me, I swear.

The book captivated me from the start; the descriptions were so impressive that I felt like I was there, seeing it all thru Kira’s eyes, suffering the pain she was feeling. And when she tried to commit suicide, I was there with her… understanding why she tried to do it. And who won’t understand it after losing her little daughter and her husband?

But Trace Stuart was there too and he saved her. Because of that a bond was created between them and they started to dream of each other, sharing their dreams. It wasn’t supposed to be able to happen with a human, but it did.

Then we find out that the death of Kira’s loved ones wasn’t an accident and a suicide, but murder and that the criminal wants her dead too. Trace discovers things from his past that now threaten his present with Kira. Will they succeed in fighting the evil that wants them dead?

It was a wonderful book, and I enjoyed it very much. I would have liked there to have been more details about the death of Kira’s daughter, this part was a little bit confusing to me, but the rest of the book was great. I will wait impatiently for the next book of Ms. Dawn Chartier, as she has become one of my favorite writers. I give it 4.5 stars.

Thank you so much, Dolce.

New Cover for DIAMONDS ~ Loving it!

I got a present today from my publisher, and I love it...(will be released January 18th, 2012)

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays...

Tonight I'm sitting in bed with a tummy and back ache. Both were self-inflicted. First, I ate too much at our office luncheon party (corn and crab bisque. Yum!), then I came home and wrapped gifts for several hours straight.

As I look around my bedroom, I realize it looks like a tornado hit or like my daughter switched rooms with me. lol

Boxes, bags, wrapping paper, tissue, name tags, and gifts are everywhere. It took me 10 minutes just to clear off the bed so I could get in. Insane I tell ya.

And what is even more insane is getting my 2nd round edits today. It shouldn't be a real problem though because it doesn't appear to be much. However, the holidays are here, and we are having Christmas at our house this year. It will work out - it always does.

Okay, eyes are closing. I hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday!
Hoping you find some really awesome books to read or a sweet contract!
