The same old story...

After a reasonably productive day yesterday, I'm back to my old bad, purposeless habits... sigh...

EYES RIGHT FOR TWITTER UPDATES!

Now why does this not surprise me?

Your Sensitivity Score: 82%

You are an extremely sensitive person. You notice everything. You've probably been called overly sensitive before, and it's partially true. Highly sensitive people tend to be highly intelligent. And you just can't turn off that part of you.

Are You Extremely Sensitive?

A solution to my blog uselessness... sort of.

I've been a useless blogger lately, haven't I?

It's not as if nothing whatsoever is happening in my life. Stuff is going on, but I'm in a sort of blogging lull somehow, and not finding it easy to find even my sort of anti intellectual content. My mind seems to be taken up with trying to corral my book and story ideas, attempting to bring order to the disorder of my 'to do' lists, my business accounts, my massive amounts of paperwork and my TBR piles, and generally plan for and anticipate RWA. So there's a disappointing amount of brain capacity left over for interesting blogging and musing... at the moment.

However, I've found a little bit of a solution. Sort of...

On the right hand side of the page, beneath my little clock, you'll see a widget called Twitter updates. This is a kind of micro blogging thingoid, that's just a snapshot of what I might be doing at any given moment... so if there's no new post in the main blog, you might see a little mini entry there instead. It'll probably be something daft, or pretty meaningless, like 'am staring into space, doing nothing'... but at least it proves there's a living person here on this blog... sometimes! LOL

It's that day again.... again!

It's publication day again!

And this time it's the US publication day of my two 'heat' babies... GEMINI HEAT and GOTHIC HEAT!

To celebrate, I'm posting over at LUST BITES today, on the topic of Lust at First Sight, with a small clip of each book, featuring the first time the heroine sets eyes on the hero. I reckon this is a pretty risky thing to do, juxtaposing my prose of 14 years ago with my prose of now... Which will show up the best? The old me, writing when it was all fresh and new and adventurous... or the new me, writing with the benefit of years of honing and polishing of my craft, and a wealth of new life experience to inform the emotional truth of my stories?

You be the judge... nip over there, leave a comment, and you'll go into a draw to win a signed book from my backlist.

Good luck and enjoy!

I am such a sad act!

My first very silly attempt at making a video with my mobile phone. Mulder is so sweet, but I'm just a dork... LOL

Back to vamps!

I've had another vampire story accepted, and I'm going to be in Lust at First Bite: Sexy Vampire Short Stories!

It's called SOMETIMES THEY COME BACK, and it's rather dark and wry, a sexy little tale of retribution and what goes around, comes around. Quite fun to write...

My new toy!

It's my new mobile phone. Chosen, after exhaustive research, for these key reasons:

1. It's on the O2 network and that's advertised on the telly by the delicious Sean Bean
2. Apparently this special edition stainless steel handset is used for several seconds in the Casino Royale movie by James Bond himself!

How's that for logical and rational technology shopping! LOL

I made a thing again...

Which of these mofus is the culprit?

It's summer hayfever allergy time again and I've got a runny nose, a wheezy chest and bunged up sinuses. It seems a bit early for grass pollen, although the weather is so weird nowadays that who can tell? So maybe it's oil seed rape? There's tons of the stuff in the fields around here... oh joy!
