Okay, so I am a reader just like you all. As many of you know if you read the Samhain blog, I had to deal with some serious bouts of depression this year because of everything that went on in my life. It is my one thing I can escape with. And, it helps me in my writing. Again, many of you probably know about The Clan. If not, you need to check out TheCursedClan.com for info. Anyway, I am going to finally tackle the first book. If I don’t Shelley Bradley might beat me. She looks all sweet, but she can be mean, I promise, lol.
So, I am trying to get into writing about some sexy Scots, and I need some help. Do you have any favorite book, any genre, that has some sexy Scots? Or, better yet, can you offer up your favorite paranormal series to help me get in the mood?
here’s my purty trailer
This goes until tomorrow morning at 10 am central. I will be drawing three winners, all for Grace Under Pressure:)

You’re having a bad day. The boss has told you that you are working this weekend, you backed into a cop car, and the cat has been arrested for indecent exposure. So, what do you do to escape? Do you like to go to Bennigan’s have have Death by Chocolate? Do you schedule a pedicure? Do you watch your favorite violent movie to live through the character without killing all your acquaintances?
Let me know by 5 pm today and you can have your choice of print books signed by me:)

I love music, and it really inspires a lot of my writing. Raining on Sunday helped me with A Little Harmless Pleasure and You Know MY Name, inspired the idea behing Purgatory. I played the flute in HS, and can’t be in the car without some kind of nonchild noise. I grew up in the 70s, was part of the Madonna bad clothing choices of the 80’s, and now freak my kids out when I put on Donna Summer and sing. Well, mainly the 13 yr old and when I am picking her up in front of her friends.
So, what I want to know is if there is a song that brings back a memory for you? Is there something from your memory that is triggered by a song?
I have several. One is any Frankie Valley and the Four Seasons song. My dad used to crank the music on Saturday mornings and sing to it, and I remember listening to him. Then, there is Paul McCartney’s Silly Love Songs reminds me of one of the last trips we made when we lived in Germany. We went to Austria and the Black Forest and that was one of the most popular songs on Armed Forces Network. Now, more recently, You Are My Sunshine reminds me of being in the hospital right after having both kids, because it is one of the first songs I sang to each of them. Push by Sarah Mclachlan reminds me of my husband every time I hear it.
Don’t have to name it exactly right, but give me a song and the memory it inspires in the comments. More print books signed by me up for grabs.
