Let’s start this week with two fantastic events from LAST week. First up was my Q & A at the fan board dedicated to J.R.Ward’s wonderful Black Dagger Brotherhood series. I stopped in at THE CELL for a few days last week. You can still read the posts by following the link. I’m sure you find it just as interesting as I did. Great questions! And I want to thank Stehph and Cinda for inviting me!

And more great questions (I really had to THINK this week!) during my two hour live chat on GoodReads sponsored by the Gotta Have Paranormal Romance with a Kick Group. It was a VERY lively two hours and I loved every minute of it. I want to thank everyone who took time to come by, but especially t’irla aka Barbara who set the whole thing up! You can find the thread HERE.

If you weren’t at either of these chats, you don’t know what you’re missing … including giveaways! Ha!

I’ve got a few more promo events lined up for BETRAYED in a couple of weeks, and I’ll post the details when they come closer. I’m also actively booking promos for LUCAS! Oooh, I can hardly wait for October! I’m in lo-o-ove!

Hmm, okay, back on earth, I saw some movies this week!! Cool! Three movies!! First up was BOURNE LEGACY. I’m a big fan of the Matt Damon Bourne movies, and also a fan of Jeremy Renner, so I was excited to see this movie, and it didn’t disappoint. I loved it! One thing I will say is that unless you saw the Matt Damon movies, you might have trouble figuring out what was going on. They did VERY little back story, and even knowing those movies inside and out, I was wishing for the rewind button on my remote control a few times. But excellent movie, lots of action, great chemistry between Renner and Rachel Weisz, and Jeremy Renner has a very sweet smile. 🙂 The next movie I saw was THE EXPENDABLES 2. Talk about from the sublime to the ridiculous. I guess the movie was fun. There were some truly awful lines, delivered in truly awful ways, but the actors seemed to be aware it was awful and were sharing the joke with us. So … okay. Liam Hemsworth is cute as a button, and Jason Statham was terrific as always. 🙂 And then movie #3, which I watched on my satellite PPV, so I DID have my remote rewind button, and that was BATTLESHIP which was far better than I expected! Plus, I got some extra Alexander Skarsgard viewing out of it. Always a good thing.

And when I wasn’t watching movies, I was reading a truly excellent manuscript by my writing partner, STEVE McHUGH. It’s the second book of his Hellequin Chronicles series, and it’s even better than that first book,CRIMES AGAINST MAGIC, which is selling like crazy over on Amazon.
.
And when I finish that, I’ll be back to writing my new story, and thinking up ways to entertain you all with the next Cyn & Raphael e-novella, and then … ADEN. 🙂

I want to leave you all this week with proof positive that apparently I’m a philistine with absolutely no understanding of the greater arts. Now, I’m a writer and a reader, and a huge consumer of all types of music. And I absolutely believe that art and music serve the public good. But … this is an electric cord, people! LOL Follow the link to the painting in THIS STORY and judge for yourself.

See you all next week! And Happy Labor Day Weekend to all of my U.S. readers!
