The winners of this week’s contest are posted at the bottom of this blog! Thanks to everyone who played here, on Access Romance’s blog, and on Facebook!
I couldn’t sleep last night. I got an email yesterday evening that there’s interest in a proposal I submitted a while back. I’m supposed to talk to the editor later today. If all goes well, you’ll hear me squee clear to the Mississippi. Needless to say, after the email, I stayed up late reviewing my plans to see when I could deliver that book. It’s a different sort of endeavor for me, so I’m playing cautious. Since I won’t be able to depend solely on me for the work, I have to add time for the others I’ll have to solicit to do their thing.
Was that a tease or what? 
Yesterday, I was very pleased with my page count, and if you take a look at the word counters to the right of this post, you’ll see a lot of pretty color to prove it. The first chapter of the new Viking book is done. It’s rough, but I think it’s compelling. I added to the short story I need to finish by the 15th. It’s a little mirky still. I’m not sure I like how it’s turned out, but I will hit it again today. I had thought to start a new short novella this week, but the one I worked on last month and set aside called to me again, so I plowed through another chapter of it. Now, I think I have a story there—and it’s full of horny werewolves, so some of you will be pleased.
Today, I need to brainstorm a sexy, winter cowboy story. Any thoughts on what you might like to see?
Wish me luck today. Whatever the verdict from the call, I will probably be twittering about it later. Love you guys! Thanks for being here. Oh, and Access Romance posted the blurbs and cover for Un, Deux, Trois, Menage! on their website today. I’d love it if you stopped by to say hello!

Break a leg with that call D!
As for your cowboys…how about a vet (m/f)-either someone just established or from an established family of the county and has decided to put roots back in this town is called out one night to tend to a foaling mare but during the delivery a snowstorm locks the vet and either the farm hand and owner or just the owner in the barn. Passion ensues, but is it more than one night thing? Also, the question remains how long will they be stuck in the barn! The vet was scheduled to leave town for a family Christmas visit but when this unexpected problem came up he/she told the fill-in he’d take it as she/he wasn’t driving out until the next morning. So no one knows there’s anything amiss!
Hope that vague enough for you to play with lol

Stephanie! I’ll have to see what months are likely to be “foaling” months and see what I can do…

Wow, thanks so much, Delilah! And hmm… winter cowboy story? I have to agree with Stephanie–something about being snowed in unexpectedly 🙂

You guys are terrific! And on the way back from Dallas, I had character names pop into my head. The names told me who the guys were. The heroine will be one I don’t have to think too hard about, because she’s a slightly ditzy writer…
