It's tough to be cool when...

There has been some beautiful weather lately in Houston. So I was driving along with my convertible top down, listening to music a tad too loudly, and feeling great. Then I stopped at a light and felt sprinkles. I looked up at the clear sky, confused, then got blasted with a bit of cold water. A d#$! corporate sprinkler caught me unawares. It was watering the flowers that were planted on the divider. Now I'm all for flowers and plants, but I don't think the citizens should have to get watered with them! I am not a tulip and I have a shower that works, thanks. ;)

How was your Easter/Passover/weekend?

Hugs,
Kimber

I work in a tax office. Today is April 15th. I woke up thinking it was IMPOSSIBLE for today to be a good day. I spent the day busier than a one-legged man at a butt kicking contest.

Exhausted, tired, (hungry as a hostage) caffeine deprived, I got off work and went to the post office.

OMGawd!!!!!!!!

I looked at the box and wondered who I knew in Texas. Then I opened it. I literally had tears welling up in my eyes. Thank you sooooo much. I had thought I would get an awesome book plate to put in my book and brag to everyone that "hey look what I can do" (sorry I meant look what I got but I spent the week browsing Stewie on Madtv and love those skits)....

yet I digress. Thank you so much Kimberly for the book, the flyers, the bookmarks...

and Love At Stake book 1. Not only had I not read it I had not heard of the series. So after a long tax season I am looking forward in immersing myself in this new (to me) series.

Besides it will give me something to read until *sigh* September.

Thank you again. I belong to Paperback Swap book club and have "met" a lot of paranormal genre friends that I trade books with. When I send off books for the next month I will be able to bless other friends/members with one of the flyers or bookmarks. Words fail me trying to express gratitude for signing the flyers.

Your book is in hot demand on that site and I know of a good home for my first copy of Tammy's story.

Thank you for brightening what I had expected to be a long and drawn out day!


(PS I know I posted this on your myspace comments but I wanted to make sure you read it and add this amendment:

Regarding weather it SNOWED today here in Utah on tax day if that tells you even more how awesome that box was to get today!)

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I hoped it would fit in your box. :)

Kerrelyn lives here in the Houston area and I think she's wonderfully talented. She's hit the New York Times list with her past couple of books, so I'm sure that you'll enjoy her!

Curious- I hate it when it snows in April, too! That's crazy.

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...
