The old look was good, but I needed something fresh and sassy to prepare for the new world in 2010. I have no idea what the new world is, but it sounded good, right?

Along with a new look, I also posted a new free read, something that will hopefully take your mind off the cold weather. It’s hot and saucy, and most definitely rated M or R. It’s called Leather is Why (R). I’ve left comments open so feel free to let me know what you think. :) Feedback is always welcome!

Hugs!

November and December were rather like a cyclone for me–the days spinning in and out of control–but I’m hoping with the coming of the new year my schedule will settle down a little bit! Highly unlikely, but a girl can hope! ^_^

For all my fellow romance addicts… be sure to check out the 12th Night Anthology — a new FREE romance read for 12 days! Featured authors include members of my Toronto Romance Writers group, so be sure to check them out! The wonderful Christine D’Abo will be linking the list as each day goes, so be sure to check it out, and don’t miss her featured story on the 30th!

Here’s a link to the first story, Christmas Spice, by Anna Leigh Keaton.

Have a great holiday, and see you in the new year!

HUGS!

This weekend was spent out and about, having fun with friends, drinking, bbq’s, and watching fireworks. At one point, while swimming in the pool, I was slapped with a plot idea. A scene. A series of images that planted themselves in full colour into my brain and refused to leave. A woman floating face down in the water of a swimming pool, hair floating out around her head like a seaweed halo. And like that, a story idea was born.

I have about 30 of these story ideas bouncing about in a giant mosh pit in my head. The problem lies in trying to get them to settle down long enough for me to sort them out and start writing. ^_^ Now since some of them seem to be shorter rather than longer, I’ve decided to take a few of them and start putting together some free reads here on the site. Hopefully I’ll pick up a few more converts to my writing, and maybe a fan or two in there as well.

Either way, at least I’ll be able to get the ideas out of my head and onto the screen!

Hugs!
