Super Fun Buzz For Readers

I wanted to announce some super fun stuff coming up that I think readers will enjoy. My good friend Rachel has asked me if I'd like to participate in a huge blog promo to celebrate her upcoming book, Geared For Pleasure and of course I said YES! :-) I'll be offering up several chances to win a copy of my latest contemporary ebook, Naughty Little Secrets. Once I get a list of all the links to the blogs where her contest is featured, I'll post again here and let ya'll know. :-)

You'll also be happy to know I am working on a neat little short story that I plan to upload to Smashwords as a freebie for readers. I'll keep ya'll posted on when it'll be released.

Tomorrow is leap day and I'll be over at the Amber Heat blog talking about one of the coolest days around. Just leave a comment on my post there at the Amber Heat blog site and you'll be entered to win a neat set of tiny red dragon lady nail appliques. These are so cute, I know the winner will love them. :-)

Also I've made a few changes to my blog and my website as I continue upgrading both to reflect my growing list of ebooks and to make the blog and the website more reader friendly and fun.
Part of that is the new MixPod widgets I've added to my blog. Now you can play the soundtracks from a couple of my current and upcoming ebooks!

As you can see, Dixie (from Shimmer) loves her Modern Southern Rock. ;-)
I also added a Mixpod for Open Season and that first song, Dirty by Grendel, is one that Cora and I used to request when we'd go virtual clubbing. :p But it does fit the nightclub/dungeon scene in Open Season very well.

Until next time...

Drop Your Pants...It's Laundry Day


I have a distinct aversion to laundry day. Every Sunday I gather up all the clothes in all the hampers and wonder yet again how two people with no pets or kids can create so much laundry?

Our dryer had been making the most gawd awful screeching sounds as it tumbles and we are trying to put off buying a new one until we see if the Lords and Ladies of Tax Time tell us if we are getting a refund this year. So of course, that means the "rain" must fall a little harder now.

As I toss clothes into the washer, and turn it on, the washer starts buzzing and humming, something it's never done before. Either it's trying to communicate with me (hey it could happen! ) or now the washer is joining the dryer in a sing along and I'm singing the laundry day blues.

The last time I had to use the laundromat their change machine ate my $10 bill like a piano falling off the roof of a skyscraper—super fast, and then gave no change. Grrr.

Just for once, I'd love something fun to happen on laundry day...like some seriously hawt guy asks me if I'll help him wash his clothes and he strips nekkid. Sure, I'd be doing more laundry, but at least I'd be getting a show!

Until next time,
Cass
