Hi Everyone!

How are you? Sorry there haven?t been any updates. I?ve been very lax on the updates and blogging. I hope you did enjoy the weeks of guest blogging. I plan on doing more. I?m trying to decide what to do for September. I?m not sure whether to go with sci-fi or shifter as a theme. I know I October I?ll be doing an Urban Fantasy theme. . I already have a few people lined up for that week. Just have to find a few more. .? I hope to be blogging more, just have to figure out what to say. Lol

Right now I?m doing edits for my contribution to the Last Call Europe series. . I also just turned in a story for a series I did with Celia Kyle and Michelle Hasker, hopefully I?ll have more news about that soon. I?m working on the next Tartan book, Tartan Seduction. I?m not sure if I?ll be keeping that title as the story has evolved from the first time I thought of it. After that I plan on doing my contribution to the Sex and Chocolate series and Hades Helmet: Deception, the second part to Carnevale.

Then I have a few more stories on my plate that are percolating in my mind. *Grin* A sci-fi one to be particular. I?m really feeling the sci-fi genre at the moment which is really exciting to me. I can?t wait to write more stories in that genre. I?m also looking into cyberpunk and a bit more fantasy.

That?s pretty much about it on the writing front. On a personal front, I?ve been sick since Saturday so I?ve been slowed down on the writing front which is really frustration. Although I do need to get rest. Which in a way is a plus. I finally managed to see The Watchmen which I loved. The changes that were made didn?t jar me which was good. I also finished watching the Escaflowne anime series which was good, now if only I could get the chant out of my head. LOL

I plan on watching Taken and starting the Battlestar Galatica series. I didn?t really watch it when it was on, so now I have time to see it. I can?t wait to get my hands on Season 4 of Supernatural and watch all the episodes I missed.

On the reading front I got to read The Path of Razors which is a brilliant edition to the Vampire Babylon series. I highly recommend it. It makes me want to go explore the London that is painted in the books. (P.S. Check out Chris/Crystal?s newly designed site. Gorgeous!)

I also read Dreamfever by Karen Marie Moning and it was brilliant. I?m on pins and needles for the final installment to the series. I have so many ideas rolling around in my head. I just want to read the series again.

Has anyone seen District 9? I haven?t seen it. I?m one of those people, that although the quality is better in the theater, likes to wait until DVD gives me a chance to pause when I want and I don?t have to deal with people texting, possible cell phone interruptions, etc… That and I?m lazy. LOL. I?m sooo looking forward to this on DVD. I?ve heard mixed reviews but I trust the people who tell me it?s a great movie.

Speaking of DVDs. I?m thinking that this year?s Christmas giveaway should be a few of my DVD series. I gave away the first season of Chuck for my Birthday Bash. Sooo, how about the first year of Eureka (if you?re not watching, I have to ask whhhhhyyy? Lol), Leverage, The Closer, Supernatural and maybe something else. Not sure, maybe Being Human?

Has anyone seen Leverage? I highly recommend this show, brilliant cast.

Moving on. Here are few Se recommends since I?m running out of steam here. I hate being sick. When I want sleep I can?t get it and when I don?t want to sleep because I want? to write I have to. Blech. Okay, here we go:

I?m thinking of another redesign for my website. I know, I know, another one? Not that I don?t adore the current one. For some reason I just want? a different look. The girl in the mask stays but the colors may change. That will be it. I?m thinking Burgundy or maybe blue. Not sure. Also, do you guys think if I start groveling now, my editors will buy my World Cup Fever excuse for not being able to write or edit for two months? I know it?s in June of 2010 but come on, how can a girl concentrate when all that hotness is there? Have you seen Fabio Canevarro? Just look at him and tell me you won?t get distracted.

‘Scuse me I have to go find ice.

P.S. Changeling just contracted another book. More on that in a bit.
