My jeans shrunk in the wash...

Okay, maybe I grew or spread a bit over the year. Every National RWA conference its time to take stock of the professional clothing attire and ready myself to meet with my agent and editor, who will be attending the fete in ATLANTA. Yes, in July. 'nuff said.

So I realize all my pants (aka even the fat ones) are tight. Some very uncomfortably so. Ugh. When did this happen? Could it be sitting in front of a computer all day with deadline stress and being within an arm's length of various chocolate yummies contributed to my 'spread'? Nah, that's just crazy talk. But just in case, no more Dew and chocolate. More leafy green vegetables and walking around the neighborhood.

sniff, sniff.

Damn pants.

Book 'Em Dano

Head on over to Seventeen Magazine's online site and play Book It! Take the quiz and find Braced2Bite under the Comedy and the Fantasy section for Hot Summer Reads. Yeah baby!

Also, Fendi, Ferragamo and Fangs is in the can, as they say. Or, sitting on my editor's desk ready to be read and then revised before coming out in July 07. Just finishing up with Dating4Demons and then I am, gasp, done. Wow. I might even take a month off to finish up on the house stuff and then jump back into the fray in August. Depends on how my new book proposals go over.

Just picked up MJ Davidson's Undead and Unpopular and thoroughly enjoyed it. Totally recommend it. Also picked up California Demon by Julie Kenner but haven't been able to sink my teeth into that one yet. It will have to wait until after D4D is 'in the can'. I have a huge list of To Be Read books sitting on my desk for after D4D is complete.

Ally Carter's I'd tell you I love you but then I'd have to kill you is taunting me with its coolness. As well as the new Jennifer Scales: Messenger of Light by MJ and hubby Anthony Alongi. The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown (I know, I must be the only one who hasn't read this one yet). The Milano Matrix by Julie Kenner, Bite Me Baby, One More Time by Stephanie Rowe, Vamp in the City and the list goes on. sniff, sniff. I deserve a month off just to read all those delicious titles that came out while I was on deadline.
