Back from Plot Group...


As you may remember, I go twice a year. It's moi and four other faboo authors and friends. Want more info? I blogged about it a couple of days ago on Tote Bags 'n' Blogs.
And in case you're wondering why I opened this post with a picture of a cake, it's because Susan Mallery treated us to this amazing cake--no, not exactly like the one above, but similar--in honor of her making the New York Times Bestseller list three weeks in a row! Yay, Susan! And great cake! It was fondant on the outside, guanache (However you spell that. Paz?) beneath the fondant and layers of this amazing fudge cake and this chocolate-chip icing. Indescribable. Yummo.

But now I'm back home and the cake is only a delicious memory.
Today, I've been cleaning up my office and going through my emails--so fun to touch base with everyone. Had a lot of emails on my return, as my brilliant webmistress, Miss Shelley, had sent out an epostcard to my mailing list about Valentine's Secret Child, which is hitting stands as I write this. And that reminds me, if you're not on my list and want to get epostcards when I have a new book out, go to my website, click on the Mailing List link...and sign up!

And tomorrow, it's back to Tanner's book, which I will be finishing by mid-February as my totally wonderful editor gave me a much-needed two-week extension. Yay! Fangirl, at left, is as always, totally thrilled for me.

I do love fangirl. She's never less than utterly enthusiastic. So...back to my emails. Just wanted to let y'all know I'm thinkin' of you.

Two Hunks...

...to amuse you while I'm screaming here in deadline hell. And I know, I know, it's not as if I wasn't perfectly aware that this would happen. See my post of 12/18....

Yes. It's truly sad to be so predictable.

But on to more interesting subjects.

Okay, maybe JOHN TUCKER MUST DIE. But not Jesse Metcalf. Please.

And about Matthew McConnaughey. Edgy, oh yes. But still a total hottie.

Hope you've all recovered from all that holiday fun. We've taken our tree down and de-holidayed the house. It's nice and...spare.

How about you? All the decorations put away yet, or do you prefer to extend the cheer well into the New Year?

And yes. I know. Back to work...
