What's Your Biker Witch Name?

So I met this super sweet lady at my booksigning last weekend. Her name is Angie Fox and sometime while I've been shuttling my 8 yr old to horseback riding lessons on Saturdays, I missed her joining MORWA. Anyway, she has her first book coming out soon called, The Accidental Demon Slayer. It sounds like a hoot, and she's running a contest. Maybe YOU can win! All you have to do is follow the link, discover your inner Biker Witch name (mine is Hogwild Harriet Wheelie Gig), then post it to her blog. The winner gets her name in Angie's next book, The Dangerous Book for Demon Slayers. Have fun!

Per Angie:

Hi,I'm launching a fun quiz to go with the almost-release of The AccidentalDemon Slayer.

It's inspired by the geriatric biker witches that populate thebook and it's called: What's Your Biker Witch Name? http://quiz.angiefox.com

I'm also doing a blog contest to go with the quiz. Post your biker name on my blog and enter to have your real name appear as a bikerwitch character in the next book, *The Dangerous Book for Demon Slayers*,coming in August 2009.

The contest is at:http://angiefox.wordpress.com/2008/07/15/whats-your-biker-witch-name/

Thanks!Angie

This is for Rachel

I have been bitch slapped for not blogging. Sheesh. I'm writing! Do you KNOW how long it's been since I've been able to sit and get out more than 200 hundred words that didn't suck? It's my birthday. Leave me alone. Hmph.

For anyone who isn't Rachel [:)], I am getting close to finishing Ultimatum. It has finally come to me. Derek and Paige were not cooperating in the least! Now they've decided to place nice and things are coming together.

Today is my birthday. It's also my son's. He's 4. Yesterday was my daughter's. She's 8. Ack. My kids are now 9,8,6, and 4. And I want another one. Stupid, stupid me. We painted pottery with the kid's friends for their party and my hubby and I did some...um, experimenting, if you know what I mean, last night while we were all alone in the house. Thank you grandma and grandpa!

Thanks for being patient with me everyone. It's been a rough last several months on the writing front, with too many other things happening. I think I'm finally back in the groove. Now, if I can just get Rachel off my back about this blogging thing...

New cover goodness :)




My new short story due out June 3rd :) You like?
Here's a peek:

Between a Ridge and a Hard Place

Blurb:

Is it love? Or sabotage?

After a year of being ignored as a woman by her boss, Morgan steps up her game—and strips down. What better way than a miniskirt to capture her hardheaded boss’s attention? The butt floss she can do without, but hey, if the ploy works…and it does, with spectacular results. Now if only she can keep him interested permanently.

Ridge can’t believe it when the woman he’s quietly lusted after for a year shows up dressed…or rather, undressed…to drop any man to his knees. Instead of worrying about winning a bid after losing the last two under strange circumstances, he whisks her to his place to demolish any notion she might have of changing her mind.

Then it becomes clear why his company is losing bids—there’s a mole planted in their midst. Ridge suddenly has to question Morgan’s sudden transformation from faithful P.A. to office vixen.

Is she the woman he’s been waiting for? Or a corporate saboteur sent to take him down?

Warning: Contains several graphic love scenes. You know, on the bed, on the couch…whichever is closest at the time.

Spring Break Cruise

So we just got back from our Spring Break cruise and let me tell ya, my kids hate each other and their parents, LOL. Yikes. They have this sort of Love/Hate relationship if you know what I mean. And living in a room the size of a walk in closet on a boat--not so good. We spent more time telling our kids to behave than we did seeing the sights! But anyway, we did have a great time. Royal Caribbean's got a great kids program and I'm surprised it wasn't utilized as much as I thought. There were a ton of kids on our ship yet I only saw maybe ten or so from each age group at any time our kids were there. Hey, the hubby and I used the night time to wind down from a day of pulling our hair out. Guess everyone else's kids are just perfect? Here's a few pics from the trip...

The girls at CocoCay, Bahamas.

Time to TRI again

Yes, that's right, I'm going to TRI again :) Yeah, yeah, I know last time wasn't so successful but surely that kind of thing can't happen twice, right? Right? Gulp. So this was me last time...

...and FYI, this was the least scary picture. You should have seen the day of. Yikes. It's hard to revisit these, LOL. Anyway, in four weeks I'm going to try again. This time with my sister. This happened on the bike portion and no, I didn't hit by a car and yes, I was wearing a helmet. There wasn't a scratch on it! The scariest portion this time around for me is the swim. It's in open water in a bay with God only knows what swimming around me or trying to eat me. I asked about sharks and my sister's friend laughed and said, "There aren't any sharks! The alligators eat them all." He so did not help my confidence. So, here I am, 4 weeks out from a .6 mile swim, 28 mile bike, and a 6.5 mile run. Not to mention the 13 hour drive with 9 yr old in tow, just to get to the race. Wish me luck :)
