Little Things
So I finished STOLEN SEDUCTION over the weekend. I have to say, for wanting to kill my hero several times in the process, I'm very happy with the way it turned out. Sure, he has his moments, but I think that's part of the reason I love him. Hopefully readers (and my editor!) will love him, too. Right now I'm going back through, cleaning up a few things before sending the book to my CPs. Then next week it's off to my editor.
In case you haven't seen it yet, STOLEN FURY is available for pre-order at the following places:
Amazon.com
Barnesandnoble.com
Borders.com
Ann Aguirre and I had a discussion today, though, about the whole pre-order thing online. As most of you know, the first two weeks of a book's release are important number-wise for lists like USA Today and the New York Times Bestseller. Technically, pre-orders are supposed to count in those first two week number calculations, but if a distributor happens to ship a book a few days early (which does happen), then those numbers don't always end up counting. I've had a few people asking me when to get the book...so I'm hoping if you're planning on buying the book anyway, that you wait until the release and buy during those first two weeks. (Though it is so totally cool to see the cover up on Amazon.com!!!)
In other news, I got an email from the art department that they're working on the cover for STOLEN HEAT. I can't wait to see it. When I can, I'll be sharing it here with you.
And finally, I just found out I'm going to be a featured speaker the month of June for the AskAnAuthorPro loop through RWA. I'm really looking forward to that. So mark your calendar.
Okay, back to clean up. What's new with you?

Hooray for getting it done! And your deadline's days away. ;) I'm glad you didn't kill your hero. That wouldn't have gone over well with Leah.
How'd you get the AAAP thing?
I will definitely be in the store on the release date. (Well, maybe a day or two later.) Great news for finishing Seduction. Congrats. And I can't wait to see what the art dept does with Heat.
Me? Can't find time from my day job to work on the manuscripts, although I'm thinking of taking a couple days off to work on my revisions. Over my writing retreat weekend I plotted the next book, though, and I can't wait to get to that one too. Too many manuscripts...not enough time!
LOL, Kendra. Yes, days away. I skated in under the wire. And yeah, I'm glad my hero didn't end up dying a painful death either. Because I really do love him.
As for AAAP thing....they were looking for speakers, I volunteered, they jumped on it. (Okay, I'm *saying* they jumped on it, no idea if that was the case or not...though it does makes me feel all warm and squishy.)
Thanks, Lexi. :) I hope you love the first book. It's special to me.
I don't know how you work full time at a day job and write. I'm in awe of those who can. Way to go on plotting the next book!! What's this one about?
Well, right now I'm NOT working a day job and writing. Hopefully that'll change soon.
This next one is about a woman who's too late to save her sister from a killer, but now must find the courage to protect her 5-year-old niece. Oh yeah, and she has to convince the private investigator hero to toss his demand for cash long enough to help her.
