Temptation

First off for any fans of House, in case you didn’t know there is a new episode on tonight! There was one actually after the Superbowl which was fantastic. It’s sad in a way, I haven’t been this excited about TV in a long time. LOL :D

Today I have my weight watcher meeting and I’m dreading going. I know I’m up, I just know it. I had a bad weekend eating just about anything I wanted, and now I’m going to have to pay for it. *sigh* But it was interesting how the whole temptation thing works. Most of the time I’m good and can resist. But if I’m tired or have had a down week…look out fridge! I really need to get that worked out.

It also got me thinking about the different types of temptations we put in front of our characters and their different reactions to them. Right now I’m writing about two people who are obviously attracted to each other, but after they had sex, one of them had a powerful and violent vision that scared the crap out of her. She really wants to be with that man again, but her fear is keeping her from him.

But the temptation is going to win her over soon…

At the same time I’m writing, my husband and I are re-watching season one of Torchwood. We’re getting ready to sit down and have a marathon to get us caught up for season two (Amy I’m avoiding your blog until that post is gone or else I’ve watched it LOL!). The characters of Torchwood have a lot of temptations they are dealing with on a daily basis. One of the things I love about this show is that these characters usually give in to their feelings. The end result is normally different than what they anticipate too. That’s really fun to watch. :D

New Sales And A Cover

First off, I have to say I’m very sad that the Patriots lost last night. They just didn’t play a good game, Tom was rushed with almost every pass, and Randy Moss wasn’t really in the game. *sigh*

On to better news, I sold two more books to Ellora’s Cave!! Book three of my Eternal Bonds series, The Bond That Consumes Us will be coming soon. This is Taber’s story for those of you who have been waiting for it. I’m super excited that it got picked up, and it’s by far my favourite of the books. There will be at least one more book coming from that series, but Sean’s story will have to wait for a bit.

The second book is tentitively titled Primal Elements. It’s a futuristic romance that takes place on Mars colony. Jenna and Ben are past lovers who are brought together through an online dating service, but are kept together due to a crisis. I’ll post an official blurb and excerpt later this week.

And finally, I received the cover for The Bond That Heals Us. Sara and Davin’s story will be here May 7th, 2008. This cover is PERFECT!! And yes, Davin has tattoos…

Sunday Check In!

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you all had a productive week. I seemed to hit my stride with my story and am super excited with how everything is turning out. I’m starting chapter 8 today and am really getting a feel for my characters. I also had some fantastic news on the writing front that I’ll share with everyone tomorrow. :D

My goal for this week was to write 5000 words. I actually reached that goal on Tuesday, so I challenged myself to write another 5000. I didn’t quite make it, but ended up with a total of 7,465 words!

How are you all making out??

Friday February First!

I’m feeling silly this morning! I’m very excited because this month sees the release of my next EC book – Wizard’s Thief! This is a hot little number about a thief who tries to steal something from a group of wizards and gets more than she barganed for.

Wizard’s Thief is part of the February Jewel series release from EC and to celebrate a few of us are running one mega contest!!

So watch out for those jewels over the next few weeks! And now this begs the question, what books are you looking forward to this month?
