Look what I have!
Carina Press sent me a lovely Valentine’s present yesterday – the cover for Ruby. That’s book 3 in Facets of Passion, so very fun timing with book 2, Platinum coming out in ten days. Isn’t it gorgeous? I think I might need to find gloves like that. Maybe to wear to the RT Convention, since Ruby releases a few days after that (May 13, I’m pretty sure).
I may have to also distribute Good Sex magic wands, given some of the feedback from Friday’s post.
In fact, I’m adding that to my To Do list right now.
So, this is a long weekend for me, made longer because I took a vacation day today. Of course, that all pertains to the day job. I’m taking the time to crunch on this story I want to submit to an anthology. The due date is 3/1. Once I got my Phantom serial past the midway point (yay!), I sent it to the CPs for crazy check and am seeing if I can get this story done.
Phantom is due 3/31 and that’s a contractual deadline, doncha know. Thus, I can’t really screw with it. But I really want to write Oro. (See if you can guess what series that falls in line with.) So, I made a deal with myself. I have to switch back to Phantom by 2/19. That gives me four days to finish this story. I can do it if I make 4,550 words each day.
Can I do this?
I think so.
I shall certainly find out!
So, if you will, light your candles for me, say your prayers, think good thoughts.
Or just send chocolate.
@jeffekennedy That’s stunning!
Very nice! Congrats.
Thanks, Monique – blessed by the cover gods!
@jeffekennedy That is gorgeous!
@jeffekennedy It’s beautiful! Very exciting!!
Woo…. pretty!
thankee!
Chocolate coming your way one of these days. Not sure if that will be before your deadline though :-p
Ooh – I love that Dutch chocolate. Best milk chocolate I’ve tasted!
Well, I am not going to RT but want a wand! 🙂
That might be arranged, Amy…
Gorgeous cover! I can’t wait to meet you in person at RT. Those wands sound like a great idea!
We’ll have great fun, Linda – and you can have a wand, too.
Oh, wow! That’s my favorite so far. (Of the “facets” series)
Me too! I’m considering skins of it.
just the right mix of reveal and conceal – beautiful!
I think so, too, Laurie!
