    Busy, busy, busy …

    So, I’m finally getting around to accomplishing some of the stuff on my to-do list. I’m checking over page proofs for the mass market version of Hot Mama, and I’m working on the copy edits for Jinx.

    I’m also starting to (very slowly) update the Web site. I was wondering — what sort of teasers would you guys like to see from Jinx? I’m going to keep the who’s who character encyclopedia and quotes from the book, but I was curious as to what else readers might like to see. Another excerpt? Fun facts? Something else?

    Got an idea or suggestion? Leave it in the comments.

    Happy reading! :ww:

    Not sure if I’ve mentioned this or not, but I’m going to attend the Romantic Times Booklovers Convention on April 16-20 in Pittsburgh, Pa.

    I’m giving a workshop titled How to be a Shameless Hussy — Working the Media Like a Pro from 10:30-11:30 a.m. April 17. The workshop is about how authors can gain media coverage for their books — how to contact and pitch articles to journalists, commonly asked interview questions, etc. I’ll also be sharing tips and ideas for fun features authors can put on their Web sites for readers.

    I’ll also be signing books at the big book fair on April 19 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. And my inner fangirl will be squealing at all the cool authors who are attending this year. 😎

    This will be my first RT convention, and I’m really looking forward to it. My significant other, who’s a Steelers fan, is looking forward to visiting the city that Cowher power built 😉

    Anybody else out there going to RT?

    The end is near …

    So, I’m working on a second draft of the second book in my Spy series — You Only Spy Twice. I’m up to 70,000 words now, and I can see the end (of this draft at least).

    I’ve got to finish the chapter I’m working on. Write my final big action sequence, then tie everything together at the end. Sounds like a lot (and it is), but it’s a lot closer to being done than I was this time last week. I might meet my March 1 deadline after all. :bubbles:

    What about you guys? Anybody do any writing this weekend?
