Welcome to my Blog

I'm an Author. I love to write, I love to read and I just love books in general.

Gave my blog a make-over


I realized that I have to change my website. SIGH. It worked great but now that I have more books coming out... have more than two series... that book page on my website just isn't going to work for me anymore. I've been playing with different templates and man is it hard to figure out what I want to do with that page. I even considered opening up different pages on my website for each series ( I'll do that in the near future ). Anyway... that got me to thinking about the BLOG. I've wanted to do something with it for a while. Black was boring and then blogspot did that new design feature... and I've been playing with it... so yeah. Blog Make-Over! What do you think? I love the blue and my blog needed a little color. LOL.

In other news... I'm still sick. I have the flu. It upgraded from mild cold to down right nasty. I'm taking cold medicines to tackle the cough, the congestion, and the stuffy nose. My fever is gone though so that's good. My kids are gone for a few days ( they went to their grandma's house, plural, since NO ONE would take all 3 at once ) so that leaves Mr. Laurann and I alone! Normally I'd be grinning and wiggling my eyebrows. Plus...I wouldn't be on here at nearly one in the morning. I'd be in bed doing...um...research... yeah! Research - for my books! ( I'm sticking with that story... ha ha). But... since I'm sick... here I am updating my blog instead. Our adult plans got postponed by me being sick. I'm really hoping that I feel better tomorrow because we have a romantic dinner together planned. I even bought wine coolers ( I rarely drink ). Crossing my fingers I feel better tomorrow. It has to end at some point and I have to get better. LOL.

Writing news - I'm way behind on my WIP's. I was hoping to submit one by the end of this month but with me being sick...I'd be surprised if I actually finish one of the books this week. I don't like to write on cold medicine. I could put it this way. I had a dream that I had to make 1,500 cupcakes. ( I love them ) and then I ended up somehow standing on this four stories high cupcake with no way down and a party to get to. I realized I was going to have to eat my way down and then I turned into a cupcake. Yeah. People were licking me and not in a fun, sexy way. I was using a wooden spoon and whacking them to keep them away from my frosting. LOL. Yeah... me on cold meds. I woke up from that one thinking... WTH??? Imagine that only me awake on meds so I'm probably not going to finish a WIP in the next week since it probably wouldn't be a good idea to attempt writing when I'm drugged up but definitely NEXT month... I should finish 2 of them and get them submitted!

Melting Iron is coming out on June 30th!!!! Less than a week away! I'm really excited about this one. I am excited about them all, seriously, but this one...kind of special. I know on the cover his hair is dark but this is a red head vs. red head story. I always wanted to write a story like that - two feisty people facing off.
Click on the cover to go there if you want to read the excerpt and blurb!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!
