Romantic Times eBook expo/fair 2009-04-20 15:54:00 (My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/43wqn)As it turned out despite proximity, this year was not to be my year to get to the Romantic Times convention. I think there's more than a few authors and readers finding cons not quite so easy to get to this year...but that's how the cookie crumbles at times.But, I have convinced hubster to work from home for Wednesday afternoon so I can skip down to Orlando (okay, really it's a 2.5 hr drive each way...yes, I live to torture my currently crotchety hip) so I can go to Wednesday afternoon's eBook expo/suthor signing event... as a reader :)So I'll be there - momentarily - autograph book in hand with my name splashed on my back. So if you see me, please feel free to say hi!Anne
The White Room 2009-04-18 14:34:00 (My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/EWgbY)There's a blog I watch via Google reader that serves up some deliciousness when it comes to decorating/crafting and things possibly a little kitschy. I've been exposed to all sorts of little off beat items through Holly Becker's Decor8blog and watching the process of decorating her teensy little German flat on the Haus Maus to fun. Her Etsy, Take 5 Tuesdays are definitely to watch!If you want a gift that just a little bit different than anything else, Etsy is the place to go shopping! Ohhh the goodies to explore.And I'm not just saying that because that's where you'll find Anne's Addictions :)But, I have a problem. All these lovely designer rooms and accessories, all this neat furniture and floorings...they are in the majority white, white on white, white on white with a splash of colour, or beige (ish) at most.Seriously, who can live like that? Well, besides the single, or partnered with OCD that is. Do any of these designers have ki
Ack! 2009-04-17 18:44:00 So I've just realised that pingfm is not updating to this blog any longer! ACK!I will endeavour to find out why and get things posting again.

Do you have an iPhone or iPod Touch? 2009-01-28 11:56:00 If you do, you have in your hot little hands a perfectly good eBook reader.Head to the AppStore and download this nifty - and FREE - app called Stanza. Once it's installed here's what you do with it... Yes, this is the 'something in the works with ARe' I mentioned in the last post.Lori of ARe let me know a week or so ago that they'd chosen Accidentally Were? to use in their how to video for Stanza and the ARe bookshelf. I was totally floored! ARe offer some great opportunities to authors for free promo (along with some paid options, too), and are amazing in their continual support of the romance industry via eBooks. If your an author you should look them up, and if your a reader you couldn't ask for a better site to find many, many romance titles!So when you're out and about (or sitting in the car rider lane like I always seem to be) you now know just where you should go to download a book...or two or three :) (continue reading &aquo;)
Tidbits 2009-01-23 15:10:00 My interview with Joyfully Reviewed is up HERE I'm Twittering HERE Witch Vamp Were? has been listed up at All Romance eBooks (I also got some interesting news from ARe, but that will have to wait :) ) I've been contemplating RT for this year. Being that I'm a 2 hr drive away it seems silly that I shouldn't go. But the grand or so I'd still need is earmarked for something kind of important. So I think the conference will have to wait until next year or the year after. Who knows, maybe I'll just drive down for the eBook signing night and meet all the people I've gotten to know online over the last couple of years. I've contemplated, too, that it would be a perfect venue to have a table for Anne's Addictions... but I think that might just be way more hassle than what it's worth. I've been futzing with a fantasy story concept - a twist on the dragon/damsel in distress idea set in a type of medievil setting. I'm not sure why, but I've just developed this craving to write about
Where in the world... 2009-01-12 10:49:00 It seems there are a large amount of people in Canada who have latched on to the Sony eReader experience - at least half my sales of Anne's Addictions PRS505 covers have been sent internationally so far, and the majority of them to Canada (but also England, Spain, Australia, and enquiries from as far as the Netherlands).And here was me thinking it would be the other way around. Just a few internationally, and the majority within the USA since I believed that to be the main sale venue for the device. So, am I just not hitting the right fabric choices for the Americans, or is it just that the Canadians like to dress up their devices more?Feel free to leave comments, or suggestions for fabric.

Organization 2009-01-05 12:28:00 I swear, the hardest part about organisation is not the organising itself, but figuring out just exactly how you are going to organise.

Sweet Review 2009-01-04 16:34:00 Just a snippit from the Literary Nymphs Review of Witch Vamp Were?Witch Vamp Were? is the second release in the Huntingdawn Pack series by talented author Anne Douglas, and like the first book, this one is a hoot that takes the reader on a fast-paced rollercoaster ride from beginning to end. It’s filled with great characters, snappy dialogue, a nosy ghost, a confusing prophecy, and enough hot sex between Shaun, Rob and Jak that you’ll need a fan.Read the whole thing here (continue reading &aquo;)
Review for All Boxed Up 2009-01-03 21:33:00 And a nice one it is at that!Romance JunkiesBlue Ribbon Rating: 4.5 blue ribbonsFormat: EBOOKAimee Small is the proud owner of a year round Christmas shop aptly named The Jolly Santa. She’s a lovely shy young woman whose romantic life could use a little pick me up. Her wild cousins have taken matters into their own hands and done their part in making sure Aimee’s Christmas wish comes true – only their convoluted attempts at matchmaking leave much to be desired.Joseph Christopher has had the hots for Aimee since he first met her. In fact he has more Christmas decorations and supplies than any straight single man should possess simply because he wanted to be near her and that requires spending a lot of time in her Christmas shop. His fondest wish is to have Aimee notice him as a desirable male but so far she hasn’t shown much interest in him.Aimee’s shocked when she wakes up nearly naked in a box – from her own shop, no less – and trussed up in bows after a pleasa

All Boxed Up, available now! 2008-12-19 15:12:00 All Boxed UpGenre: Full-figured Heroine Erotic Contemporary Length: Holiday Kisses Christmas Eve is not supposed to be celebrated naked, tied up, and locked in a dark cardboard box. But that's exactly where Aimee Small finds herself. Has she been kidnapped by some strange Christmas themed psycho-killer, fascinated with the owner of the local Christmas shop? Or is it something else entirely?Joseph Christopher was not expecting to come home and find a huge-ass box in his foyer -- especially one that makes noises. When he lifts up the lid, he finds that Santa's come early this year and left him a tasty gift indeed: Aimee, the girl he's been crushing on all year. She's naked, bar some red satin ribbon wrapped, candy cane-style, around her luscious body.Oh, yeah! Some years it pays to end up on Santa's naughty list...Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable.When Loose Id put out a call to th

Witch Vamp Were? - the first review 2008-12-11 15:52:00 This little link popped up in my Google Alerts (love Google alerts!)http://ping.fm/qVgjW"Anne Douglas has done it again. Her story is super hot and spicy with the perfect blend of mystery and humor to keep the reader entertained and reading until the very last page. The eroticism is beautifully captured and the relationship between the three main characters is not only immensely funny but also emotionally charged. The characters are enchanting and the story a must read, five star treat.""Witch Vamp Were? is an absolutely magical read. It was super funny with equally hot sex and friction. This is the kind of book where you need a cold glass of water and a towel because while the sex will make you hot, the humor will have you spitting that water all over the place. This is definitely a must read novel by an extremely accomplished author. I can not wait for more of these fabulous shifter/vampire stories. This book is definitely a present any time of the year."5 Stars!Reviewer: Kimberly Sp

Available today - Witch Vamp Were? 2008-11-25 15:47:00 I'm usually more on the ball when it comes to release days but the last few days have been a bit of a killer. Kids and their viruses -- you can keep 'em!Despite all that today is the day that Witch Vamp Were? the continuation of the story started in Accidentally Were? is released!The copy from Loose-Id.com:Shaun's best friend had proven Weres existed, so why not Vampires? That's Shaun's reason for wandering a cemetery in the middle of the night, and she's sticking to it -- no matter how many things go bump in the night. A girl has to do what a girl has to do to prove she's right.As for Rob, he's the big bad wolf...err, cat...here to scare Little Gothic Riding Hood right out of her cherry-red shit-kickers and teach her a lesson about being a sticky beak. Oh the things a Pack Alpha has to do to keep pretty, pert little noses out of his business.Jakov Pieter's just the token Vamp that Rob dragged along for atmosphere. After all, what's not fun about hanging upside down from a tr

An 86 from Mrs Giggles... 2008-10-28 17:05:00 I can't say I'm complaining on an 86 and a hilarious review for Curious Intimacies from Mrs G."If a guy likes taking it up his behind, with "it" being his girlfriend's strap-on, does this mean that he will like taking the real thing? Curious about this question after reading Anne Douglas' Curious Intimacies, I picked up the phone and asked a friend of mine. He's a certified doctor specializing in this kind of thing, so I'd like to believe that he knows what he is saying. He said that some men like it when their lovers play with their rear ends, from using one's tongue to stimulate the tissue around their... you know... to even the act of penetration using fingers or a strap-on device. However, this does not necessarily translate to the man being gay.He then asked me why I want to know about this and, what do you know, all of a sudden the kettle is boiling and I needed to hang up on him. I have better warn my husband the next time we visit this friend of mine and he starts gettin
