Kids Say the Darndest Things…July 28, 2009 at 5:00 am | Category: blog I called hubby on the way home from work last night, to see if he knew of a great “Eco Friendly” vehicle my Alpha werewolf hero can drive without being emasculated. (Hey, it’s a DARK paranormal, not a RomCom. Can’t have him driving a mini. Hahaha!) So, hubby says (as though he’s been just DYING for me to ask this particular question. Really, he didn’t even have to think about it.) “He drives a Tesla,” he says. “It’s a super hot sports car. And it’s electric. David Letterman has one.” (Me thinks the hubby wants one too So, I’m excited to have this awesome “Eco Friendly” hot ride for my hot Alpha. And I proceed to share my excitement by telling the kidlets about it. “But, Mama,” my 8 year-old tells me. “That’s not really environmentally friendly. Electric cars still use fuel because it takes fuel to make the electricity. He needs to drive a solar powered car if you want him to be really “eco friendly”.” Yeah….after I pick my jaw up from the ground. I always knew she was articulate. But, sheesh! I tell her, “I understand that, honey, but there really isn’t a cool solar powered car for my very cool hero to drive–” “Mama! You’re an author. Of fiction. (yes she said it just this way.) You can make up whatever car you need for your story.” Ummmm… Can’t argue with an 8 year-old. Still, I like the Tesla and so does Matthias. So that’s what he drives. The Model S Signature in dark metallic grey, to be precise. Sandy

Amazing Disappearing Penny TrickJuly 24, 2009 at 9:05 pm | Category: blog My boy is going to be a great magician one day. Or maybe a really good public speaker. Hard to believe he’s only 6. Here he is, showing us the amazing disappearing penny trick. I think he does a pretty nifty job of it too. Enjoy! And, feel free to tell him what you think of his performance.
Crystal Jordan ~ Crazy Little Thing Called Love ~ New Release!July 21, 2009 at 5:00 am | Category: blog
Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Crystal Jordan Love can drive you over the edge. It can also let you fly. An In The Heat of the Night story. Pixie Parthon worked hard to make her music production company a success. Anyone who gets in her way gets the business end of her Fae magic. Her savvy business sense kept her family afloat for years, but now that her musician brother is mated and off on a world tour she’s feeling left in the dust. Maybe it was a faint wish for a little love magic for herself, but she didn’t expect one night of cutting loose to leave her marked for life. A little love bite is one thing. Give up her hard-won independence to a pushy alpha werewolf? She’ll pass. Malcon is just as shocked as Pixie, but for a different reason. From the moment he saw her, his desire went far beyond getting into her pants. When she agreed—begged—to be bitten, he believed she also sensed their destiny to be mates. Now it’s too late. Nothing will convince Pixie that he has no intention of clipping her wings—not even a month’s worth of orgasms on call. Crazy as it sounds, love is all he wants from her. Even if it means letting her go… Buy it here!
RWA 2009 National Conference ~ aka: New Beginnings & Fresh StartsJuly 19, 2009 at 4:11 pm | Category: blog Well, it’s that time once again. I sit here at the airport waiting for my flight back home from the 2009 Romance Writers of America National Conference. This time between conference and getting home holds both excitement and a bit of melancholy for me. I seriously can’t wait to be with my family and sleep in my own bed. But, I am truly going to miss my other family, my Writerly Family. This past week has been a tremendous experience for me. As it always is. So much love and excitement in one place does a lot for the psyche. It recharges you. Makes you feel like you can accomplish anything. ANYTHING! I am going to miss being in the same place as my writerly family and I’ll be counting the days until I can give them hugs and laugh in the same room with them once more. My conference this year has been inspirational and eventful and I hope it was the same for all 2000+ talented authors who attended. I plan to channel the massive quantities of creative vibes garnered from this year’s conference into one hell of a manuscript! How about you? If you went to conference, do you also feel recharged where writing is concerned? Or are you too drained from an excess of fun and knowledge being thrown at you? Sandra
