For the past couple of months I have been attached to the couch, literally. In February, right in the middle of writing my new book I found out I was pregnant! I dropped everything, stopped writing and reading and started napping instead. I have been so tired that I just couldn't keep my eyes open long enough and my imagination shut down.
Back to the writing desk! I am happy to report that the sleeping spell is beginning to lift and along with my energy I have regained the desire to read and write again! The best part of all is that I am gaining new experiences that I will be able to write about. Being a mom.
Happy Mother's Day!

Reading... A Simple Pleasure
I was doing some household chores yesterday, with the television on as background noise, when something came on that caught my attention. It was a young man talking about the importance of simple pleasures these days.
In difficult economic times, such as the one we are going through now, when most of us can't afford to buy large ticket items, take extravagant vacations, etc... it's the simple pleasures that get us through. For some it's a great meal, or perhaps a haircut or a manicure. Little things that won't break the bank, but will make you feel good.
For me, it's reading. You want to travel back in time and visit a Scottish castle? Do you want to solve a murder mystery or meet a brooding sexy vampire? Or maybe you just want to have a good laugh. Books can do all that and more. They make us sigh, or laugh or cry. They sweep us off our feet and make us forget our troubles for a while. They remind us that there is magic everywhere and that everything is possible.
I look forward to new releases as much as I do going on vacation. Some are a little pricier (though if you've been waiting a year for this one book then it's worth it), but there are also so many inexpensive books out there, especially now with e-readers, that are wonderful, that take you away for hours at a time. There are many books out there as low as .99 cents, or even free. You can even download most e-reader applications for free onto your computer!
So next time you're thinking about those simple pleasures in life, or the next time you need to get away for a while, think about all of the possibilities a great story can offer.

The Terrible Haircut
Dear terrible haircut, how you have distressed me on this day so cold,
With your strange lengths and lines and angles too bold.
I remember the morning, with hair so long and beautiful to behold,
Now it is gone and I think, what the hell happened? Oh, it must be my mind going old,
For how could I have forgotten this has happened once before,
Instead thinking, cut it again? Sure, why not, let's give it a go.
Are you long or are you short? Should I try to repair the insult done to you?
How much worse could I make it, anything would be better than this do.
Perhaps if I pull you will grow to even lengths, maybe at the least past my chin?
It would sure save me the misery of hiding you behind closed doors or caps and pins.
Sigh. Alas, there is nothing that I can do but let you be.
I must wait for you to grow, but please hear my plea...
Grow little-short-long hair. Grow for me and I promise to never do this again,
That is until the next time. What can I say, sometimes I have an addled brain.
Sigh.

Happy New Year to all!
So this is a year I am especially excited about.
First off, for Christmas my husband gave me something I've been wanting for a long time. A trip to Ireland! I am looking so forward to my trip I wish I could start packing now. I can only imagine the stories that will be born from my visits to all those castles!
Secondly, I have many stories in my head that are dying to get on paper this year, one of which I have just started writing. It's funny, every time I sit to start a new book my biggest fear is that the words will not come, that I will draw a blank. Sure, I have the idea of the story in my head when I sit, but it's the details, the dialogue, how a character gets from point A to point B, that only become clear once I start typing. The process never fails to amaze me, and yesterday did not dissapoint.
I can't wait to see what else the year has in store for me!

Now on smashwords!
Now on smashwords.com, check out my new book "Tequila, Wolves, and Stubborn Women!"
Lili hadn’t been to her family’s Mexican hacienda in years, and she’s reminded of why she’d stayed away the moment she sees Sebastian Villalobos once again. It seems that he’s everywhere she goes, glaring at her with those beautiful amber eyes. Two could play at that game! Regardless of her body’s demands, he’d broken her heart and she disliked him as much as he did her. Now if only she could stop kissing him every time she has a little tequila!
Sebastian has just met the woman of his dreams! That luscious body, soft skin and those eyes! Dark eyes that bewitch and enthrall him. But she turns out to be the very person, who as a child, gave him a scar that ran the length of his cheek. Confused by his own emotions, anger, resentment, and lust, he does his best to push her away. Will he be strong enough to resist what his body and soul demand he take? Or will he give in to the temptation his stubborn little witch presents?
