Thanks for Buying Doug. I'd do the contest but I'm on a self imposed deadline which I'm not close to making. I hate my boss. Maybe I'll play hooky and do your contest instead.
Yea! Esri Rose wins! And in fact, maybe you should actually win something. Want a Summer Devon ebook? Email me.
Of course I have no idea WHY there's a butterfly on her, but I still like the cover.
A two star Amazon review on His American Detective: "Bodice ripper about gay men by a woman." and I'm longing to comment "don't you mean a waistcoat ripper?" God, no. Stop me. The reviews rarely rattle me any longer -- except when I spot a truth in a bad one. When that happens, I actually lose sleep. This means I still care about writing.

These words are chopped. Two hundred gone. And let's see, the confrontation is coming up soon. Any suggestions? also me: Oh. My. God. Why bother? No one reads your books. No one thinks they're anything more than adequate. You can't seem to change your style to fit what people want. You're old news. OLD. NEWS. Stale old voice. There's no point in writing yet another book that no one will wants-- me: How about if they finally talk instead of just hinting around? Yeah, and maybe that guy will say what's been on his mind since chapter two. also me: Jesus. So boring. Talk, talk, talk. You know that your-- me: How about if they-- also me: --you know your books are worthless because people want conflict and angst. They don't want to read another book wit...
I bought one. How could I not, with three of my pals as authors?
ReplyDeleteBTW, this is the last call for contest entries over at my place.
Oooheee! That's is really gorgeous!

I think it's extremely sexy. I love the cover even though it's a headless torso which I usually complain about.
ReplyDeleteThe cover is fantastic. I love it. Gorgeous. Very sensual.
