First Set of Raffle Pizes for Their Border Lands Freedm

This is one of the poor silly stuffed animals I won while in Gatlinburg a few weeks back. I have several who have been huddled together in my office waiting for their new home. Help them out by naming them either here or on my event page on Facebook http://on.fb.me/1k8Q5UX and you could win one of them along with a Marla Swag Bag full of goofy but fun junk.

Here is the second poor pitiful stuffie.  Doesn't he look sad and

seem to be dreaming of a forever home? All of the other stuffies laugh at his pink hair. Help him out and give him a name and a home.

Don't forget to keep a close eye on my blog here and on the event page above for more chances to win. I will be digging through entries for one of these on Sunday and the other on Monday night. In the meantime, I'm thinking about another possible prize that might have the ability to carry something in it!

Gatlinburg For Writing

I'm in Gatlinburg, TN this week writing. I came with some friends who are out tearing up the town and generally causing havoc everywhere. I'm here writing, available to post bail if they need it.

It's been a wonderful few days and I still have two more left to go. The quiet time really helps get the words on paper, or in my case, the computer. No distracting TV's blaring or phones ringing and I don't feel guilty about not washing clothes or anything. I need one of these a week. :-)

Funny thing here though. It was 74 degrees yesterday and today it's chilling out at a cold 42 and going all the way down to 27 tonight with the chance of up to 3 inches of snow in the morning. No wonder half of us are sick all the time.

Working on book 12 of the Men of the Border Lands series. Wade is an ex-cowboy who used to work ranches but is just drifting around now. Stanton was a stock broker in Manhattan before the year of catastrophes. The fact that he's managed to survive in the world for the last ten years is amazing even to him. Wade thinks he's damn lucky but admits he has to have more skills than crunching numbers and sitting behind a desk.

Lyssa was a nurse practitioner in a charity hospital before it all ended. Now she's with two men after spending the last seven years in a prison cell in Border Town. The world is a scary place for her.

Where are they going to end up and will they come to care about each other along the journey? What do you think?

Here are a few pictures of my trip so far. Some are of men in a swat team that were running around a building across the street. I wished I'd had my good camera with me, so I could have gotten much better pictures.

Then there is the parrot guy! LOL  What do you think of this one?

I'll post more pics later. If we get that snow, I'll for sure have some for you. I'll be playing in it!

A Taste of Cyn Is on Pre-order!

Can't help but be excited about this book! I started while I was in Gatlinburg, TN, and the book is written around the town. I had so much fun researching and walking around the area to get ideas that I'm going to write another one.

Be sure and pre-order the book. I would love to hear what you think about it! AVAILABLE: Friday, December 6th But you can pre-order it now here  http://www.bookstrand.com/node/865897

 

Best friends, Roy Simpson and Aden Dempsy, agree to share in order to have the chance to be with Cynthia Hawthorn, but will she be able to accept both men in her life? Gatlinburg is a small town. How will loving two men affect her business and her friendships?

 

With a stalker in the mix, Cynthia places her trust in the two men despite her fear of becoming too close to them. If she lets her guard down, she knows that she won’t be able to say no to them. Despite her resolve not to become involved, Cynthia loses her heart to the two men, but after the stalker is caught, she wonders if Aden and Roy are no longer as interested in her.

Roy and Aden want nothing more than to shower their sweet Cyn with love and affection. When a misunderstanding has her running away, they struggle to win their sweet Cyn back.


Remember that I will be having a give away on December 6th to celebrate the release of the book. All you have to do is comment on my blog or on my Facebook page when I announce it and you could win a Marla Mug and other fun stuff!

Pigeon Forge, TN I Love it Here!

I'm still in Pigeon Forge and having so much fun. I've been over to Gatlinburg as well and have had so much fun. There is so much to do here! I can't wait to come back.

I'm already outlining a series to be set here in the area. The Smokey Mountains are gorgeous and offer so much to do. I can just see my characters living here. What do you all think about that?

I'm also getting plenty of writing in while I'm here. The second book in They Knights in Black Leather series is just about finished. The heroine, Stacey Addison and her men, Steve and Ben Tyler are fighting their love and need for each other. I'm on pins and needles to see them finally admit they are meant to be together.

I wanted to give my friends a heads up as well as to where I'm going this coming year.

I'll be at Romantic Times Book Lovers Convention (RT) in Kansas City, MO  May 1st through the 5th 2013  Here is the link http://www.rtconvention.com/

I'll be at RomCon June 20 - 23rd in Colorado Springs, CO outside of Denver. Here is the link http://www.romcon.com/index_copy.htm
