Summer heat, frizzy hair....

We got it! The summer heat,I mean. Seriously.

Yeah, it's only in the nineties. But the heat and UV index is high. Translation: feels hotter than it is. And it's sticky. I go outside and my hair is instantly a mass of fuzzy bedheadedness. The DH loves my hair this way. Cracks me up. I think he likes it when I look like I spend so much time in bed, I don't have the energy to comb my hair when I get up.

I so wish! My life is just too busy to spend it all in bed. And with all the products and devices I use on my hair, well, it so shouldn't frizz like this.

But I remember the up side. The loving smile on the DH's face because I just look so sexy with my hair in a frizzy mass around my face.

And speaking of bedhead, Zac Ephron has a tip for totally sex bedhead hair:
"I’ve never told anyone this before. This is a hair scoop. Shower before you go to bed, and then sleep on your wet hair. Towel-dry it. In the morning, it’s all messed up naturally. If you have that messed-up thing going when you wake up, it’s more willing to stay that way."

Here's Zac fixing his hair:


WTG, Zac!

So how's the weather where you are?

Starting Over. Again.

Yep. That time again. Starting a new book. This is Elena's story. Elena Cabrera, who is the illegitimate daughter of my current Bravo patriarch, Davis Bravo. Elena's story is second-to-last in this ten-book cycle about the San Antonio branch of the family.

After Elena, I'll write Travis's story--he's seventh-born of the seven sons in this group. And then I'm going back to give a past Bravo--Bowie--his Happily Ever After, at last.

And then I'll start exploring a whole new branch of the family.

But more on that later. Now, it's Elena's turn. Elena's and Rogan Murdoch's. Elena just happens to look like a really good actress named Sarah Shahi and Rogan strongly resembles an actor named Channing Tatum.

Great Time at Summer Heat!

The Summer Heat Mini Conference, I mean. Put on by my Romance Writers of America Chapter, the OKRWA Outlaws. We welcomed Charles Griemsman, editor at Silhouette Desire and agent Lucienne Diver with the Knight Agency. A party at the glorious Merline Lovelace's Friday night. And the conference Saturday at the OKC Marriott. Always so good to get with my writer friends. And I have a special fondness for Charles, with whom I used to work when he was starting out as an assistant editor. He is the best! And Lucienne was so gracious and knowledgeable. Just a fine conference, all the way around.

In the picture, Charles with the Harlequin and Silhouette authors in attendance. That would be Merline, moi, Julia Mozingo, Margaret Daley and Laura Marie Altom.
