I got tagged by Michele ! Target of Perfect Partner: The perfect man for me... 1. He would be taller than me, or at least as tall. I’ve not an Amazon, but I am taller than most people. 2. Be sober. The last man who hit on me was drunker than a skunk. Not sure these tags are always meant to be practical, but can't help but recall the moment. He was cute though. 3. Speak my language enough to converse. The second to the last man that hit on me couldn’t speak any English. He wanted my phone number. If we couldn’t talk in person, how would we talk on the phone? Come to think of it, he wasn’t a shining example of sobriety either. He was cute though. 4. Have a job and/or recent Lottery win so I can keep writing. Or at least support the idea of writing! Not everyone does. 5. He would be willing to help inspire a writer of erotic romance. 6. I’m pretty independent and can be a pain in the butt at times, so he’d have to be willing to put up with my little quirks like... leaving the clothes

AKA A Chance To Read For Other People This weekend I'm participting at the Raven Bash March 06 over at The Raven Vampire Nightclub . The list is up to over 25 authors. So, stop in because that'll mean a lot of prizes and excerpts and fun.

Months ago my truck's speed control mechanism was recalled and disconneced. I kept getting letters the parts would take a little longer than expected. They had millions to replace nationwide. Then I forgot about it. I finally was thinking about the speed control while I was standing near the phone -- goodness knows why -- and I called so now I have an appointment tomorrow early. The entire family is still in Vegas! Yet considering the line at the place each morning, I figure it's a fluke they can get me in tomorrow. Trucks doctors are like dentists, when they've got an opening, better jump on it or it could be another month. I guess I'll bring a book to read while I wait. I'm under the impression it'll take 2 minutes to pop the part in, but never know how long it will take them to get to my truck. It would be a $40 cab ride all the way out here, and I'm much to cheap for that! Anyway, so reading it'll be. If I had an eReader, I could bring my whole libra

I’m pretty new to eBooks. I knew about them early on, but I admit I used to be afraid to buy online. I was afraid of the “Internet”. But then I bought my first new vehicle and watched them process a monstrous loan on-line. I was thinking that loan represents the bulk of my bills for the coming years and it’s all online, so why am I worry about shopping online? That’s how I got over the fear of shopping online. I started with airlines tickets though. Then shopped at Wal-Mart.com. But I still didn’t buy a book for a few years. I found my first NCP book in print to be honest! I read it, enjoyed it and started thinking about eBooks. About the same time I joined a small critique group. Chaste Foxxe's Jack and Jill on Fantasy Hill had recently been released, and so I started there to support a writing friend. This story is a fairy tale revisited, and was the first eBook I purchased from NCP. It's been a little over a year and a half. Not much though.
