Big News! 2007-10-02 13:00:00 And no, I'm not talking about the dildo...Loose Id have offered on Red Skirt, Cool Fountain, my latest ménage story! Hopefully the release date will be somewhere toward the end of January, beginning of February 2008.
It's as big as macbook 2007-10-02 10:17:00 Or bigger, depending how you look at it:(And yes, I have two computers side by side (you can't see the dslr, the pda, the mobile phone, the scanner, 3 printers...) I'm a techno ho, what can I say)
I bought a 12" dildo the other day... 2007-09-29 20:50:00 Did I get your attention?Well, it's the truth... sort of :)I was abstractedly surfing the internet a while ago, and happened across a testimonial for a particular dildo. Being that I was putting off doing all sort of other *ahem* interesting things like house work, custom sewing jobs... edits, I scrolled down to take a look.Holy Fuck! That mother is HUGE! Seriously, lady? You stick that where?Which got me to thinking about all the various erotica and erotic romance I've read where the guy flops and anaconda sized dick out of his pants. Now the proud moment where the guy expounds on the veracity of his said monster snake-like appendage has always struck me as, hrmm, kinda odd, really. I can't say I've slept my way through half of Auckland, hell even half a rugby team (15 on the field), but I've yet to come across anything that would come close to resembling a foot long - standard hot dog sized maybe, but with a super-sized side of fries on the side? Nope.So, because I'm strange

A little something from a wip ... 2007-09-27 09:07:00 I decided I liked Robbie, who's a side character in Accidentally Were. I also got a giggle out of Shaun, Pearl's younger, goth princess friend. Then, of course, I had this very mean thought that Shaun would bug the shit out of Robbie ... and a new story was born.So a little bit from the first chapter ... Robbie Diedrickson cursed the day his friend and Beta had found his mate. Not because he was unhappy that Rex had found love and had a cub on the way, but because much-to-curious-for-her-gothic-shitkickers Shaun Engelstead was now his problem. Little gothic riding hood, sitting on a gravestone absently knocking the heels of her red Doc Martins together like she was Dorothy wishing to go home, was giving him grey hairs -- and being just this side of forty, he didn’t need her assistance in that department. Robbie snuck a look around the other side of the tree he was hidden behind, and looked to see if Jak was in position. Jakov Pieter was a vampire; a real one, not one of the playing
Where oh where 2007-09-25 17:35:00 Has that Anne gone?Man was it Friday when I last blogged? And I missed the Poetry train, too! Bad, bad blogger.I've been a little snowed under with my 'other' day job, so I've been busy hunched over my sewing machines. Then this morning, when I sat down to actually blog, wtf? no internet - comcastic ... I don't think so more like craptastic! But it did mean that the homecoming dance dress I was asked to make got finished :) and surprise surprise I actually did two loads of washing done and ran the dishwasher. Boring huh? But seriously, it was a major feat *snort*.My lovely editor sent me the first round of edits for Accidentally Were? last night, so now the prom dress is out of the way, tomorrows job is to sit down and work my way through the red - one day I'll work out where to stick those damn commas and to stop those big run on sentences ... this one being a case in point :)Okay, 20 hours without internet access has strained my addiction levels, so I'm off to read a big bunch
Mortality 2007-09-21 09:07:00 I've reached a point in my life where my own mortality occasionally throws out a punch and scores me a direct hit to the jaw.At 34 it's not as if I've even lived half of my theoretical life span (car accidents and heart attacks willing), but now and then the fact that certain things in my life are over slam home that indeed we only live to die. That one day, all of this will go on, but I wont be here.What brings on this spate of melancholia? A particularly heart-wrenching sermon? Unlikely considering I'm not a church goer. A hard hitting, unexpected death? No, though that my Aunt has recently been through surgery for cancer and is facing Radiation/Chemo was a pretty damn visceral kick to the gut - and no, no out of the ordinary health worries for me.So what was it that had me near enough to... okay, balling my eyes out in my driveway last night? A song.A damn song, of all things. Five for Fighting's 100 years to be exact. Now if I could figure out how to put in a hinkey little son
I forgot the planners!!! 2007-09-18 10:30:00 Silly me! I swear, it was lack of sleep - I spent Sunday and Monday catching up on stuff I let slip last week.Okay, for those pink inclined - there were four of you - Rhonda (blessed heart), Rowan (rowan west), Caffey, and Julia. I'll try get to all of your blogs today to ask you for a mailing address, but if you happen to see this in the meantime feel free to use the email addie in my profile to drop me a line with the details.

Be my wingman ... 2007-09-13 10:44:00 Is this the male equivalent of the female phenomenon of always going to the loo in pairs? Cause you men do know we talk about you in there, right?Fresh from CNNDoes your love life need a wingman?(LifeWire) -- Many men are not natural-born charmers when it comes to talking to women they find attractive. It's hard work sounding witty and engaging when you're fighting back nerves. Some men need a bit of help in finding dates. One thing that can assist a socially shaky bachelor is a wingman -- another man who provides support and cover the way Navy fighter pilots protected each other in the 1986 film "Top Gun," which is credited with popularizing the term. As Mystery, the self-styl
I hate that ... 2007-09-13 09:54:00 Nothing like toodling along on your WIP only to realise that you just wrote the last line. WTF?Yup, you read it again, read the whole chapter again even and realize, yes, you did just write the last line.Well damn! (that was a happy damn)Now I have to edit.Well damn! (that's the unhappy one, lol!)
OOOH! 2007-09-10 12:43:00 I was just surfing the Coming Soon page at Loose Id and realized that Accidentally Were has a link up. I've not seen any artwork yet (and there is none up) but I had a little Squeeeee! moment when I saw the artist is down as Anne Cain. I'd had fingers and toes crossed that she might get the job.Damn, now I have to WAIT! grrrr!

Apple, you've let me down. 2007-09-07 15:09:00 You won't catch me with anything but an iPod, I changed from pc to Mac when I updated my laptop, and I eyed the iPhone with lust, though my bank account firmly said NO! (plus we're not with AT&T). So when I saw that Apple was releasing the iTouch - just like an iPhone with no phone - I thought to myself "A HA! That's why they didn't put an eBook app in the Phone, they're going to cover the PDA market and make a run at the Iliad and the Panasonic".Eagerly I hit Apple.com, scanning the features and requirements only to exclaim aloud "What the Fuck? No eBook App?". Music, check; Video, check; browser, check; eBook reader, big fat cross.Steve Jobs, you and Apple are beginning to shake my faith in your ability to see into the future.Had an eBook app, with all the lovely pinch screen technology, been on the iTouch, I would have given kiddo the nano, and been at the store, card in hand, slavering with the masses on release day. But now? No so much. It does look pretty though.
It's Wednesday? 2007-09-05 10:47:00 Well, Crap! Where'd the week go?We had an intl visitor over the long weekend so I know where some of the time went. Other wise I hate to say I've had my nose in a book, or have been diligently plugging along at my WIP. It's winding up now so there is an end in sight for it. Yay!I think I've burned myself out for a while on books - I caught myself skipping from 1/2 way through to the end for the last two historicals which usually means I've taken way to many books out from the library in the last month and it's time to switch off from reading for a while.Well, it's nearly midday and I've procrastinated enough this morning, so it's time to get to this last scene/sex scene. Then I have to attend to some custom sewing work I've got to do, then on to the editing later this week.To tell you the truth, I might hold out on the editing till next week, or at least the weekend. Just looking at words has been giving me a headache lately, so it might be time to get away from the computer
Interested in what sort of volumes eBooks make? 2007-09-02 14:10:00 Head on over to AOER. Inspired by Emily Veinglory's graphs, I plotted out (okay, hit the graph button in google spreadsheets) a nice little graph that showed a group of sales data from a number of AOER authors.I made some quasi-uneducated hypotheses from the data. I'm no statistician so take it all with a grain of salt.
It's been one of those weeks. 2007-09-02 08:05:00 I've been bad and not updated, but fact is, I was feeling pretty crappy about a number of things and would only have brought y'all down. But today is the start of a new week, so here's wishing for it to be a bit more upbeat.I've been plugging along on RSCF's expansion. I think I've come up with a workable solution to my do they/don't they dilemma. Shock and awe is great, and I was thinking the 'OMG what did we do' morning after might be the thing, but somehow that's not what I wrote, lol! I think for these guys they need to work themselves towards the final act, so to speak :D. Hubby is off to see Cape Canaveral with his friend from England today, so who knows, with the house to myself I might just get to that last scene today.Would be nice to see it completed, as I've not quite felt like I've got much done lately. Which is odd - I finished FWB (which finally got through to EC with a little help, yay!), and I finished Accidentally Were? before that (tentatively a Early Nov

Have a laugh 2007-08-29 08:33:00 Courtesy of Headless over on Borsboards: A chicken and an egg are lying in bed. The chicken is leaning against the headboard smoking a cigarette, with a satisfied smile on its face.The egg, looking a bit pissed off, grabs the sheet, rolls over, and says, "Well, I guess we finally answered THAT question!"Three women who were friends in high school have returned to their hometown to attend their 25th reunion and have lunch together. Their talk turns to their position in life, and it's clear that they are trying to one-up each other.The first woman says, 'My husband is taking me to the French Riviera for two Weeks,' and then looks at the others with a superior demeanor.The second woman says, 'Well, my husband just bought me a new Mercedes,' and looks about with considerable pride.The third woman says, 'Well, to be perfectly honest with you, we don't have much money and we don't have many material possessions, but 13 canaries can stand shoulder to shoulder on my husband's erect pe
Red sky in morning Shepherds warning .. 2007-08-28 06:53:00 Yes, I have my first ever, red headed stepchild, no body loves it manuscript to file in the figurative box under my bed.Why not work on it, you say? Well, I've rewritten this story three times for resub requests that didn't work out - of course all those additions were what a second publisher disliked about it. It's been a year and a half of working on it in some form, it's time for me to lay it to rest.Maybe I'll post it as a free read? Errr ... then you can really see how bad my grammar abilities really are :)Then I got the phone call that a close family member was diagnosed with cancer that will be operated on next week ... I don't think I like red moon nights. I'm going to go with the wailing peasants and harbingers of doom that it's the devils work.So, as you can see life in the world of an author isn't all red roses and contracts. Sometimes, no matter how hard you work at it, things don't go your way.
Sweatin' away... 2007-08-26 12:03:00 And it's not just the heat outside.I slacked off horribly the week before, but this week I piled on nearly 7k on RSCF. I'm hoping that by the end of today I'll have 8, but we shall see. Kiddo has some homework that needs to be done yet.Now, I've just got to figure out if one of my leads is going to have a crisis after his first kiss with a man, or if they're going to go all the way then he's going to to get all conflicted. Decisions, decisions!
Ack! 2007-08-25 23:11:00 23 hrs of no Internet or phone! Damn you Comcast!!!I kinda felt a bit woozy when I could finally log back in again.
Some days I just love my job ... 2007-08-24 11:13:00 This was part of todays research.Mens underwear -- only the classy stuff, of course.Yes, men can wear pink undies -- It looks a bit naff here, but check out the shockwave version Read more:Love
