So you remember when I was kvetching about Cross-blogination? Here’s another one. Gemma’s blog is on Blogger mine is of course on WordPress, so I am sharing the link to her review of my book manually.

If you have a Google+ account give her some sugars!

My favorite part of the review is this: “The book doesn’t quite follow the rules of any specific genre – while the main theme is organised crime intertwined is a story of hatred, love and regret, which pleased me greatly. Some may say that you cannot have a story about warring Mafia families, crime and murder with stories of love thrown in, but I think in this instance it really worked.”

Aw, Hell, who am I kidding? I loved the whole thing! I’m so happy right now I could kiss the next seven people who walked up to me!

Liebster mien cupcake

I was nominated for this Liebster blog award thingy by Penelope Jones, aka Bad Penny, aka Sweet P, aka Maude (what I am now calling her in my mind now that I know her name isn’t actually Penelope but have no real name to call her. I will also picture her vacuuming her carpets wearing pearls, high heels, and a martini in her free hand. *shrug* It’s a free country.)

Anyhoo, I answer eleven questions, tell eleven random facts about myself then nominate eleven blogs to do the same. Trouble is, I am not sure I know eleven bloggers who would like to participate.

BEHOLD, a post in which I warn you, I may nominate unwilling people unless some of you bravely throw yourself under the bus and take one for the team. You can do it! It only hurts the first time…..running out of aphorisms here……

Let me know if you want to be nominated and I will direct traffic to your blog. 🙂

Q&A at #Goodreads?

Been thinking about doing an author Q&A at Goodreads along with the giveaway next month. Would any of you be willing to show up and ask questions so I don’t talk to myself? LOL

And thank you again and again for all the support! Keep getting the word out about The Bird Day Battalion! Thanksgiving is only a week away!

And by the way? Jay Ryan? Besides being mega HAWT, he’s almost exactly how I pictured Tommy Gates writing him in First, I Love You only with green eyes. So the next time you read Tommy looking at someone through the fringes of his hair…say in Second of All…hint hint…here ya go:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not watching Beauty and the Beast? You really should. And not just because Jay Ryan periodically takes his shirt off and is super buff and broody and dark and dangerous…mmnnnnn… but because it’s also a good police procedural.

LOL

Did you know?

So I just checked on iTunes and it shows Bird Day Battalion at #2, right next to Gemma Halliday!

This prompted an entirely new post because I am a HUUUUGE Gemma Halliday fan. I absolutely adore her High Heels mysteries. So just having my name next to hers temporarily is such an incredible honor, I don’t even know where to start! 🙂 And last night (true it was probably just an autofollow bot, but still) Bella Andre followed me on Twitter. Total fangirl squee moment. I swear, who knew following your pipe dreams could lead to such happiness?

And I want to say AGAIN because it can’t be said ENOUGH:

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to everyone that has read The Bird Day Battalion and First, I Love You, and especially those of you who have taken time to spread the word and leave reviews.

*smooches*

I’m sitting under our favorite tree

I wondering if you’re thinking of me

 

I’ve thought about nothing else since you went away

You plague my life day after, day after day.

 

I think about how you used to hold my hand

And how you always thought my jokes were so grand

 

I think about the time we went to Paris

We had a great trip, despite your brother Harris

 

I remember the way you looked after a long, hard day

You knew I’d always be there to assure you, it’s okay

 

I thought you’d always be here too

Your being gone leaves me without a clue

 

I sometimes smell a faint memory of your scent

I know it’s not possible, but I hope it’s you leaving me a hint

 

I thought it would get easier as time passed by

I miss coming home…

Gratitude seems not strong enough

So I posted a picture (taken from my phone in excitement before I realized I could have just done another screencapture–did I mention excitement? LOL) on Facebook and Twitter: [UPDATE: Did a screencapture!]

I CANNOT THANK YOU ALL ENOUGH for helping put The Bird Day Battalion in the Top Five free downloads at Apple!!!! I know that free tends to sell itself, but there are a lot of free stories out there so to me it speaks more of you guys helping spread the word, and for that I am so deeply humbled and thankful. Even if it just lasts today it’ll stay in my heart and mind on those days when I’m having trouble expressing myself writing for The Downey Trilogy or anything else. And I do have lots of anything elses stuck in my head waiting to be told.

Special shout out to my friend Sweet P (known to some of you as Bad Penny) for rallying the #Naughtyville troops. If you are an adult, go follow her blog (if you’re not already) for sexy & sweet poetry, BDSM Erotica, and some seriously salacious photos:

And last, but CERTAINLY not least, if you are a US citizen:

VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!!!!!!!

Penny and I just love this blog, it really is amazing. 18+

If you are not following this blog, you so should be. The stories inside these pages are heart-wrenching, deeply romantic, and tear worthy all the same time.  My thanks to him for sharing his stories, and his world with me, with us.  Unworthy.
