A few months ago, someone invited me to join Facebook. I didn't. Soon after came an invitation to join Shefari. I'm embarrassed to say (because, hey now, that scene is ALL about books!) I didn't sign on there either. I already manage my own website, an official blog at blogspot, and 'my place' at MySpace. I'd need a clone to join one more cyber socal hang out.
Yet, here I am.
I couldn't help myself. I write for HQN. I love visiting eharlequin and catching up on the latest news and books. I adore the warm, fuzzy feeling I get from this community based site. I didn't realize I could be a part of it via this blog... until tonight.
Yesterday was the official release day of my second book in the Chameleon Chronicle series" EVERYBODY LOVES EVIE. I signed on just so I could admire the cover under the February releases. How geeky is THAT? At any rate, that's when I discovered this feature. I admit, I've had my nose to the grindstone with writing deadlines and promtions, so I'm a bit out of step. Behind the times. Late to the party, and all that. But I'm here! Now I just have to figure out how to make 'friends'. Oh. And find a clone.
Hey, now. a smiley face function! 
I think I'm going to like it here. 
Cheers,
Beth

Hi FF,
Thank you for the welcome! I've been hearing/reading some nice things about my books, too. Obviously, I'm thrilled. Aside from the actual creating process, knowing you've brought joy to someone for a few hours or so is the ultimate thrill.
Thanks for commenting. Now I don't feel so isolated!

Welcome Beth. I've read
Welcome Beth. I've read both of Evie's books and loved them and I'm hoping you've got more stories of hers to follow. I'll have to check out your website and find more of your books.
More To Come
Thanks for the welcome, Sharon, and thank you for being 'my friend'. Don't feel as lonely now.
Thrilled to know you enjoyed both of Eve's adventures and, yes, a third is in the works. EVIE EVER AFTER hits shelves spring of 2009. In the meantime I do hope you enjoy some of my other tales.
Cheers,
Beth

Love Evie!!
I read All About Evie last year and was immediately taken with her and her story. I'm so glad to know that the next book is out and it's on my "gotta get really soon" list.
And it's very nice to have you here... I spend way too much time visiting, but it's a fantastic place.

Hi kaylyko!
Thank you for stopping by with a warm welcome. I'm so glad you were 'taken with' Evie. My background is in entertainment so many of her trials and tribulations are mine or similar to.
When you root for Evie it feels like you're rooting for me. With so many nice people saying nice things about the books, how can I not feel great?
Cheers!
