Huzzah! A Release!

Today I'm celebrating my first time in an anthology! VACATION WITH A VAMPIRE, featuring stories by me, Michele Hauf, and Lisa Childs, is now available!  My story, Vivi and the Vampire, is set in the world of my book RENEGADE ANGEL, and tells the tale of how Justin, the overworked vampire king of Terra Noctem, finally (reluctantly) goes on vacation and meets his match in an off-duty vampire slayer.  It was a LOT of fun to return to that world, and I hope you'll enjoy it too!  Just click HERE or the picture in the sidebar to head to Amazon:)  RT praised my story for its "well-developed characters and sparkly dialogue."  Yes!  I am SPARKLY! 

Mantastic Monday!

Happy Monday! Sort of!  I've been absent thanks to whatever new and horrible biological weapon the kindergarden at my youngest kid's school brewed up and sent home, but all is well now.  Well enough, at least, for a day of one of my favorite romantic muses, the delicious RICHARD ARMITAGE (seriously, if anyone deserves all caps, it's him).  Let us bask in the hawtness of this week's Mr. Mantastic:

*sigh*  So pretty!  Love the effect with his eyes.  Let's have another!

A little Sir Guy?  Um, yes.  He looks like the quintessential Bad Knight.  Yum.  More!

The man has perfected the "come hither" look.  Oh, and have I mentioned his voice?  Because it's delicious.  Here he is just talking about being Thorin Oakenshield in the upcoming movie The Hobbit (which I, a certified Tolkien junkie, am DYING to see).  He's also rocking facial hair.  I don't even like facial hair and he's rocking it.



And finally, to end this festival of Richard's mantastic-ness, I give you a picture of the look that melts me every. damn. time.

 
Yep.

Enjoy the rest of your Monday, everybody:)
