Back to work!

I know I've been remiss in posting on my blog but I have a very good reason. My parents were here and I was spending as much time as I possibly could with them. They live in Jamaica, and I must confess that flying home has taken a back seat to my writing career for the past two years. I'm definitely going to fix that.

They left this morning and I cried like a baby as I waved goodbye. I'd gotten used having them around.

So...after moping for about two hours, I retreated to my office to work on the edits my CP (lets call her Little Fabulous One) sent me for my latest WIP. After about fifteen minutes the sadness disappeared and three hours later, I've only just come up for air and Thanksgiving leftovers.

I'll miss my Mommy and Daddy terribly...but its back to work in my house. After all, I've got a best seller's list to make. :)

Art of sensuality



I managed to snag an ARC of this amazing book and it is definitely worth the read.
I give you ART OF SENSUALITY by the hugely talented Jax Cassidy.


Title: ART OF SENSUALITY
Author: Jax Cassidy
Publisher: Parker Publishing
ISBN: 978-1-6004-3044-2
Page Count: 250 pgs / print
Release Date: November 17, 2008

Art was not only a passion of Machiko Barrett, but also a destiny…a way of life she has known since her talent was discovered at three years old. Caught in a turbulent storm of celebrity, scandal and corruption, she disappeared from the art world only to re-emerge fifteen years later as an au pair to the two young children of renowned Parisian gallery owners. Her sheltered existence is disrupted when she is lured back to her one true passion: painting.

While Machiko struggles to find her own identity through her art, she encounters Caleb Holden, a sexy, unpredictable and irresistible neighbor with a penchant for collecting art, and women. As he discovers the girl within the woman, the secrets of Machiko's past return to haunt her, revealing scars she never knew existed. She must learn to conquer her fears and allow him into her heart or risk slipping back into a cold, lonely world that once held her spirit captive. Through Caleb's determination to educate Machiko about trusting herself and her abilities, he opens her eyes to the art of sensuality, and awakens the woman buried deep inside the broken girl.

last SNL post before election.....

Senator McCain was amazing last night! He was a good sport and one day could have a lucrative career in comedy should he so desire.

This will be the last SNL post before we all hit the polls on Tuesday.

Please enjoy this last video.....

And you know I'm just Sarah Palin...
