STILL SPENDING MY NIGHTS WITH LUCAS …

Tough job, huh? Spending my nights with a gorgeous vamp? Black hair, golden eyes … unfortunately, he’s just been seduced by an FBI agent. Or maybe she was the one seduced, hard to tell for sure. 😉
.
Some good stuff going on this week. For one thing, SOPHIA was nominated by The Romance Reviews as Best Book of 2011 in their Paranormal Romance Category. It’s a crowded field, and it’s difficult to compete with wonderful writers like Lara Adrian, Nalini Singh and J. R. Ward. But I’m delighted to be nominated in such illustrious company, and if you’d like to vote, you can go HERE and page down (way down) to the Paranormal Romance category.
.
And speaking of nominations, Paranormal Bites is hosting their first ever Best Of list which they’re calling the Bites Fights. They have a Vamps category, too, but they’ve somehow left SOPHIA and DUNCAN both off their list! Weird. 🙂 Anyway, you can write in a nomination, and the top eight vote getters will be nominated. If you go HERE, you can write in either SOPHIA or DUNCAN, or hell, both! Only if you want to, of course. 🙂

On more practical matters, I received several emails at my gmail address from readers who said the live.com address wasn’t working. Hotmail (which is the mothership of live.com) is a very quirky program. You would think after all of this time that Microsoft could figure out something as simple as email. After all, AOL does it, so how difficult can it be? 😀 Anyway, if you can’t reach me at the live.com addy, my gmail address is dbreynoldswriter@gmail.com and I love my gmail wallpaper!

Update on the i-Pad … it arrived right on schedule and it’s so pretty! I’ve been practicing my Kindlegraph sig (when I’m not looking for cool new apps) and expect to be caught up by the end of the week.
.
I posted a couple of new books on my What I’m Reading page, including Patricia Briggs’ new Alpha/Omega book, Fair Game. I’m a big fan of the Mercy Thompson series, but I have to say I like the Alpha/Omega spin-off even better. Right now, I’m reading another book in Karen Marie Moning’s Highlander series, and after that it’s Doubletake, which is the latest in Rob Thurman’s wonderful Cal Leandros series. Love those books!
.
Rest assured, however, that I’m spending way more time writing these days than I am reading! Things are heating up in more ways than one on the written page.
.
One final note, I hit 600 friends on Facebook today. That’s not a lot for some writers, but it’s terrific for me, so I feel like a contest! Those of you who have been with me from the beginning will remember the Great Muffin Contest, and last year it was Duncan’s Last Name. What will it be this year? Don’t know yet, but it will be in the form of a question, and only my readers will know the answer!

Okay, it’s back to South Dakota and places east for me. I’ll be back next week with the question, the prize, and all the other details!
