Whew. It's been a hectic week. And what I'd like to know is: if it's the weekend, then how come I'm so busy today? No time to post now, but I'll be back to post in the comments later.
Weekend is so much full of win. I am all over the hectic week thing and am so glad there's a bit of a respite. :)
In case you all hadn't heard, our own Nancy P was selected as Guest of Honor for next year's Malice Domestic convention. So yay, Nancy!
Hope everyone is doing well and has a fabulous weekend!

One day followed another through the work week. Boring, droning, monotonous work-a-day week. But here is the weekend! Lotsa obligations (including a certain celebration on Sunday), but somehow it seems freer.
Perception is everything. So if it seems freer, then it is! Sorry the work week was boring, but the great news is that when you write, you can have any non-boring thing you want happen. So get to that keyboard and escape. ;)
Jeez, I wish Nancy would have posted to tell us about it herself!
Kimber, I saw you'd posted this morning, but this is the first chance I've gotten to pop in. That should give you an idea how busy my day has been. At this point, I'm not sure if we'll have an M-day celebration or not… Mrs. Fetched took her mom to the hospital this afternoon.
Work was the usual. Some fun, some monotony, much just not being where I wanted to be. I did take a side trip on the way home from work yesterday, though.
Southern Witch series - Quote of the Day: "I'd never kill anyone with hair that fabulous." ~ Rollie the vampire * * * Gerry Bartlett writes a terrific humorous paranormal series featuring a beautiful full-figured vampire. Here's what Gerry has to say about becoming one of the undead herself... Since you write about vampires, if you had the choice, would you want to be one? "Lots to consider here. First, my heroine, Glory St. Clair, was turned when she had a few extra pounds to lose and then she was stuck like that. So first, I’d have to diet down to a perfect weight. And that’s obviously not going to happen. I have the self-control of a mosquito in a nudist colony. Then there’s the whole liquid diet thing. Sorry, but I love my food too much to give it up. What fun is it to live forever without steak and a baked potato? Not to mention chocolate truffles. I have to have crunch in my diet too, just like my heroine. She suffers just to taste the occasional Cheeto. O...
Southern Witch series - Quote of the Day: "I don't know why people pay for rental cars when so many friends and family members just leave their keys lying around unattended." ~ Tammy Jo Trask, whose car is often misplaced. * * * NYT bestselling author Nina Bangs writes awesome sexy, funny paranormal romances, but she didn't always know that she would become a writer. When asked in an interview what she wanted to be when she grew up, she said: "I wasn't so practical when I was young. I wanted to ride horses. I wasn't too clear on the concept of how I'd manage that, but I was open to suggestions." Don't you just love that? Amazingly, she went on to raise and show Arabians for a few years. So apparently Nina's good at turning all kinds of dreams into reality. I'm taking notes!

Southern Witch series - Quote of the Day "And how come the Glenfiddle workers remembered me splashing them with the passionflower potion? Weren't these potions supposed to cause at least a little bit of amnesia? I mean how was a witch supposed to spell-cast without getting caught?" ~ Tammy Jo, realizing that when she rescues people from monsters, she needs to be sneaky about it. Life as a witch is so complicated! * * * Maria Lima is a terrific cyber-friend that I met at my friend Nancy Pickard's blog awhile ago. Maria writes a wonderful series of paranormal books (the Blood Lines series) that are set in Texas and are packed with mystery. How could I not love them? Here's the first line from Matters of the Blood : "I know the dead, and the dead know me. Not a personal choice, mind you, just the result of being born into a family of necromancers." Maria hooked me with that opening and pulled me through the rest of her story, which is just as great. Recent...

That is awesome news about Nancy and Malice. So exciting. I hope you're writing's going well and that you're getting a little rest this weekend.

I hope your mom-in-law is okay!
