This Day Sucks...

Seriously, I have had to spend the majority of my damn day with one freakin contact lens. One! Do you know how annoying it is to only be able to see out of one eye? No? Well, let me tell you. I’d rather walk on hot coals (as long as I could skip really fast) then be missing a contact. I think fate is punishing me for something I did in a past life three thousand years ago. I’m sure I haven’t recently done anything bad enough to deserve this type of punishment.

That is all...

Everything You Ever Needed to Know About Epublishing (and some things you didn't know you should know)

Why doesn't epublishing offer advances? What are some of the pros and cons of publishing my manuscript via epublishing? How do I research publishers? Can I really make money in epublishing? What exactly is POD? Can you give me a snappy comeback for people who say that epublishing isn't real publishing?

Epublishing has evolved and grown, especially in the last 5 years, but with growth comes pitfalls and problems, and trusting an epublisher with your baby might seem like a risky proposition. We'll cover the basics of epublishing, from choosing an epublisher and contract details to methods of ebook and print distribution to reasons why you might not want to epublish your manuscript.

So Little Time

I really think the amount of hours in the day has diminished from 24 to... 4. I wake up, go about the day and as soon as I blink it's over. Seriously, something's got to give!

Anyway at least I got a new car. It's been a long time coming and it drives like a dream. Yay for new car. Now if we could just close on this house the sky would open and angles would sing.

Thanks for stopping by.

Harley Taizer wasn't used to dealing with her greedy parents. They'd never wanted her and made it perfectly clear by giving her to her grandfather. It's funny how things change when money is involved. Discovering the trust fund her grandfather set up for her, her parents show up demanding the money be given to them. Afraid of just how far his son and daughter in-law will go to get it, her grandfather brings in a security specialist to help protect her.

Kasper Drake hasn't met a trust fund baby he liked, though he is one himself. Upon meeting his uncle's newest client he's willing to throw out all his preconceived notions out the window. He's trying to get Harley to admit to their fierce attraction when her father shows up demanding to know who Kasper is. She tells him that he's her fiancée. Kasper latches onto her lie hoping to make her see how good it could be.

*GASP* No Way!

I was surfing the web today and discovered a sight that stated there are at least 101 sex positions. 101! Seriously, I'm tired just thinking about. Who the hell has the energy for all of that? I think it would take me a life time just to try half of those… but that doesn't mean I won't try. Would you?
