     I got my Black Dagger Brotherhood compendium in the mail today ~ Whoo Hoo!....
   Alas, I can't start reading it yet 'cause I'm a little more than half-way through Jayne Castle's Dark Light ~ and I LOVE her Harmony stories ~ and her stories as Jayne Ann Krentz and as Amanda Quick.  Probably the only book around that could make me delay reading the new J.R. Ward.
  Ah, but I'm not babysitting today ~ or tomorrow... I expect that by the end of Wednesday, October 7 I'll be finished both books. 

Soooo looking forward to it, that's for sure!

This is not a facetious question!

I'm deadly serious - because if I can get fed up of blogging and trying to find recommendations in the thousands of Challenge book recommendations, how much more do I understand those of you who read less in quantity but who'd like every book to count

He:  Honey, let’s invite all the neighbors over for a wine tasting party.  I’ll do everything.  All you have to do is play hostess.

In a romance, the Hero is often more than six feet tall. (And, it is not just in romance stories were this happens.) In the movies, the Hero is often average height; say about 5’9”. Occasionally the movie Heroine is taller than the Hero.
I admit I am looking at this from a male perspective, but does this dichotomy cause anyone else consternation?

Roni asks: How do you juggle several (radically) different projects at the same time? Like, your new book, plus a proposal, plus revisions--3 different projects!

I did it. I jumped off the cliff and let the pen hit the paper for the first time in years.

Because art is such an easy distraction for me, I packed and zipped up everything. It has left me no excuse but to write, to do what I have been wanting to do for so long.

Just a heads up to those in Calgary planning on coming to the super-signing next Friday the 17th:

The signing is now taking place at the Dalhousie Station Chapters/Indigo store.  Same time - 4-6 p.m.

In my earlier blogs about crabbing on the Oregon coast I mentioned that I’m finding myself in a more adventurist time of life. So, when some of my coworkers invited me to a show at one of the casinos at Lake Tahoe, I said, Yeah, I’ll go. It’s female impersonators, they said. Sounds adventuresome, I thought. 

This is a male crab large enough to keep. Our guide showed us how to grab and hold on in a way that the crab can't reach with his claws. 

 Ok, now I need to catch up with my reviews.
