Well, long time no talk! Sorry about that. I had company fly into town. Namely, Emma Petersen. And, Lordy, did we have a good time. I think I took her to every darn tourist attraction in the state of Washington, until her feet were about to fall off *Grin*. I took my toddler daughter with us half the time too, and I was surprised she kept up as long as she did! But the amount of gas we used, and at the current prices. *Groan* Not pretty. We did Pike Place Market, the Seattle waterfront, Snoqualmie Falls, Whidbey Island, The SEATTLE PREMIUM OUTLETS!

I’m screaming because what fabulous shopping. I bought some cheap stuff for the kid at The Children’s Place. Gotta love the $4.99 rack. And then there was a makeup store that had all this great makeup and products by all the Estee Lauder companies (MAC, Clinique, and more). Anyway, we had a fabulous time. I’ll post pictures later, but right now Emma has them and she’s probably still on the plane home.

Great news, I got an email notifying me of my PAN approval status the other day. *Woo whoo!* PAN, in case you don’t know, is the Published Authors Network. You get in by selling a book that’s 40k+ to a RWA recognized publisher.

On another note, Fallen Angel Review gave me a nice review for Dating Season. Here’s a snippet…

“I loved this story. The characters were so yummy delicious! …I like this author though, very much. She has rich, flavorful writing and sucked me in instantly. Very sexy! “

Also, I wanted to say that I have decided to leave The Novelty Girls, but do still plan to visit the fabulous ladies over there. In the next couple months you can look for the launch of Naughty and Spice, a group blog where the rules are…there are no rules. We’re just there to have a good time. Look for posts from Amie Stuart, Lillian Feisty, Karen Erickson and then me. We’re so excited for the launch!
Anyway, off to be productive. I’m into this little futuristic/shifter I’m writing for Cobblestone Press. I’ll be hopping the blogs shortly to catch up!
