Vampire Diaries

I've been watching the previews for the new show...what do you all think? Are you going to give it a try? I've also heard they're making a tv movie out of LKH's books? Does anyone have any info??

Just wasting time :)

New Week!

Oy, I'm still running behind :) I need to ask my mother if I was born late! Still working on Salvatore's story and trying to keep up with all the usual summer events as well as getting my oldest son ready to go off to graduate school. I was also checking on my list of books to buy for the upcoming fall...how fun, although I was surprised by the number of books coming out in hardback. How do you feel about that? Do you go ahead and buy them or do you wait for the paperback release?? I'm torn. There are authors I know I'm going to read over and over so I prefer a hardback, but then again, it does limit the number of books I can buy...sigh.

Happy Friday

Hello to all. Where the heck is summer going ?? We're supposed to have a few beautiful days here so I intend to get out and enjoy them! Oh, I went to see the new Harry Potter! I LOVED it, but my sons thought there was too much romance :) What do boys know? I'm also happy to say that I recieved a few ARCs for Darkness Unleashed so I hope you'll stay tuned. I intend to run a contest before the summer is over! What else....hmmm I've been pretty boring. I have a ton of writing to get done over the next few months, and what seems to be an endless list of baby showers, weddings, anniversary parties, birthday parties....sigh. They're always fun, but I never remember to pick up the presents so I have to make a mad dash to town and then I never have anything decent to wear. I need a wife to keep me together!

Hey, what's on tap for August? Any great books I just can't miss?

RWA

Hi all, just returned from taking my mom on a short trip. We did all the fun girly things that mom and daughters do, shopping and eating and playing putt putt golf :) We had a great time. I'm back to writing, but I have to admit I'm beginning to regret not going to the RWA convention...sigh. I've always promised myself I'd go, but with two boys in college and my husband thinking about going back to college for his PhD, I think conventions are going to have to be put on the back burner for awhile.

Still I'd love to get any info if any of you are attending! Let me know what I'm missing :)

Fun Stuff

I've discovered over the past few days that I possess a wonderful talent for procrastination! Who knew how much time could be wasted staring out the window, curled on my bed with my Kindle, and of course...surfing the net :) In an effort not to feel like a complete slug and to hopefully spark me back into work mode, I've decided to pass along a few contests that I've run across. If you have any to add, please feel free!

http://www.kimberlykillion.com/contests.asp a ton of Zebra debut books and gift card
http://genashowalter.blogspot.com/ an arc of Darkest Whisper...yum!
http://www.scifiguy.ca/ I love, love, love this site. Always a ton of great interviews and giveaways!

I know there are hundreds more, so if you know any be sure and post them!

Enjoy,
Alex

Fourth

Where's the summer going? Jeez, I can't believe it's already the first of July. I'm still working away, hoping to get Salvatore's story done by the end of the month...that's a little ambitious, but we'll see. I don't have any big plans for the fourth, what about you all? Picnic? Traveling? Hotdogs and fireworks?

Whatever you do, be sure and stay safe :)
