I think I'd like to be bored...

"The penalty for success is to be bored by the people who used to snub you." -- Nancy Astor

I'm brainstorming new story ideas, so please be on the lookout for my muse. She's about 5'6 and was last seen wearing gold bangle bracelets and cornflower blue slingbacks while in the stands at a relay medley swim meet in Bejing. Please don't mention my plan to chain her to a chair for a few days. Just tell her that there's a house party in Houston with raspberry margaritas. If she's reluctant to leave China, add that it's being held in her honor. Gets her every time. ;)

You're lucky… I've told you about my muse, right? Olga?

LOL, beautiful, Kimber. My muse is trapped inside my skull and keeps sending incoherent messages to the outside world via my unfiltered morning conversation.

Far,

No, you have not told me about Olga. Please do! Is she a gymnast?

Kelly -

Ah, morning conversation. These days I am mostly speechless for the first hour of the day because 4 a.m. is such a ridiculous time to be conscious (unless one has not yet been to bed.)

Still, I like getting the workout done before I'm awake enough to resent it.

Hey Kimber,

Ditto on the pre-brain workout, though for me it comes a few hours later. In case you missed it over at Wyrdsmiths, thanks again for putting out the cards for me. Let me know if you want me to return the favor some time--like next spring's con season which start pretty close to your book launch.

I actually saw your muse running around in my flowers this morning. I yelled out my door and told her to get the hell off my lawn, but she just laughed and ran away. Sorry I didn't catch her for you, but I lost my head. Not a great excuse, but if I see her again I snatch her up, bag her and mail her to Texas!!!! PROMISE!

Kelly: Thanks to Kimberly's cards, I have "WebMage" coming in a box from Amazon tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it.

Yes, please catch her! I'll use it as an excuse to come pick her up in Nashville.

Miss you!

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! (To learn more about Nina's terrific books, visit her site - www.NinaBangs.com ) * * * Another author whose work I love is Alyssa Day. She writes about the l...

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...
