Just when you thought another Friday would never get here...here it is!

(I know I was thinking it would never get here...)

It's bitterly cold today - I went outside this morning and it was 16 degrees. With the wind chill, it felt like 6 degrees. Horrible. I'm going to stay in and drink hot cocoa all weekend, because that's what a shut-in would do, right?

Still trucking along on Book 3. I'm up to 56.5k! Still hoping to have the first draft done by the end of the month. We shall see if that comes to fruition.

Speaking of things that are trucking along! My blog tour! Today's stop is over at Writing the Renaissance. Today's topic? Procrastination and self-discipline.

One last quick note -- I never heard back from my two winners, so I'll do another flash giveaway this weekend. You'll win your choice of book 1 (woo!) or book 2 (woo woo!).

The blog tour continues with Sarah Eve Kelly -- we discuss historical research and how those can possibly fit into a romance (they do!). Remember to leave a comment to be entered in to the Holly Root query critique contest!

It's also my day over at Odd Shots. I go totally juvenile and talk about farts and elevators. High brow, I know! But that's just how I roll.

I'm behind on a few things, but am going to try and catch up over the weekend. Scouts' honor!

Blog tour continues over at Stina's blog. Today we're talking succubus mythology and vampires.

Here's the next stop on the blog tour: Kerri O'Connell. Today's topic is mythology and world-building.

BTW - if you've left me a question on one of the other blogs, I haven't had a chance to answer yet! But I will! Just be patient with me. It's a little hectic right now. :) Be sure and comment to enter the Holly Root contest, though!

Over at Jen Hayley's site.

(And I wrote 1500 words last night! Woot! Go me!)

(Just a reminder, the rules of the contest are here on Gretchen McNeil's blog)

Today's stop is over at Dorothy Winsor's journal, where we discuss the long wait between offer and the book landing on the shelf. :)

Hi all,

Sorry I'm late to posting! Yesterday was, in short, not fun. Thank you, Day Job!

Here are the winners of the signed copies. I did not count anyone that commented after 12 noon yesterday (luckily everyone commented before!). Everyone that commented on my Jill Myles journal was assigned 1-69, and the LJ comments were 70-87.

Fantastic cover! I’d love to read it. Please enter me.

So! Rebecca and Calila, please send me an email with your address information, and I'll send out the books this weekend. Email me at jillmyles AT gmail dot com.

Also, check out the Blog Tour as it continues here at Shelli's blog. She's got a great overview of what's scheduled.

Hi Everyone! It's here! It's finally here! The book AND the blog tour!

What is the blog tour all about, you ask? Well, hop on over to Gretchen McNeil's blog and hear all about it. Twenty brief interviews! Twenty days of madness! Twenty chances to enter!

What you need to know: It's all about me. And my books! And writing in general. Actually, mostly about writing.
What you want to know: You can win a query letter critique from my agent, Holly Root.

Check Gretchen's post for all the details first!

Then, the Official Blog Tour starts over here at Amy Bai's journal...

Is the big day (at least, it's exciting for me).

I'm...so tired I could fall over. ;) Seriously. Next time I have a book release, remind me not to have it in December or January. Or BOTH.

Just a quick reminder that you have a few hours left to enter both my Goodreads contest and my blog contest to win a free copy!

I was also over at Dear Author today for the First Sale letter, and Mandi at Smexy Books reviewed Gentlemen Prefer Succubi.

There's a little something cool launching tomorrow, brought to you by a group of the most supportive people ever...so stay tuned. :)

ETA - AAAAH! My counter says 2 hours until my book releases.

No writing tonight. My eyes are crossing. Hopefully tomorrow.

Just to update, the Goodreads giveaway is here: http://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/show/2280-gentlemen-prefer-succubi

If you signed up for my giveaway, you can sign up for the Goodreads one as well (I'm not cross referencing!) so you have two chances, more or less, to win one of four copies. :)
