I'm cheating...

It's the week before NaNo, and I'm, umm, really busy. Who isn't, right? Between the day job, the freelance editing, the 4 WIPs, the Blaze I'm trying to plot for NaNo, my newly arrived galley and edits on a requested full...oh, and life...I'm a wee bit behind. So I'm doing a cross-post here from my own blog of my new cover of Full Disclosure. My first ever cover!

Sexy, huh? I love it! Huge thanks to artist Angela Anderson and my awesome editor, Karen Welwyn at The Wilder Roses.

But so this isn't a complete repeat...I'm toying with contest ideas for Full Disclosure's release week, and I have two questions for our loyal blog readers. Do you like contests where you have to participate beyond posting a comment? What if you had to write a brief (1 paragraph or less) anecdote to win? And what sorts of prizes do you like? Would you rather a gift certificate to an ebook store or do you prefer book PDFs? Maybe another type of prize altogether? I'm eager for anyone's feedback, as I'm a little out of my depth here!

Oh, and before I go...a big shout out to my lovely CP, Tara, who does all the work to keep this blog looking fresh and pretty. Isn't she awesome?

Back to my writing cave...

Why Do You Write?

This is an easy one for me. I write for the joy of slipping into worlds of my own creation where I decide who lives or dies and who gets the guy. My perfectly imperfect heroines still get their Happily Ever After every time...eventually. ;) Half the fun is getting to that HEA, however. Writing romance gives me hope. As my characters work through their problems, sometimes I work through my own, too, even if I don't always realize it.

What about you? What brings you back to the page time after time? The sheer love of creation? Money? (Nothing wrong with that!) The feedback you get from readers?

Inquiring minds want to know. ;)

And to whet...your appetite on a Monday....

Positive thinking is the ticket...
