Ah, yes. It’s that time of year again when Mistress Heidi & I get out the catalogs & start surfing the web for all the goodies we want to see under the tree (or the rack, as the case may be) on Christmas morning.

Heidi’s Christmas Wish List

All four seasons of My Name is Earl on DVD

Any or all of these adorable Partylite black cat items. (They had awesome spider stuff, too, but I can’t find any pictures of those. :sadheart )

A million dollar book contract.

For fewer than a million books.  :crazy   (Hey, a girl can dream, can’t she?)

(If you’re going to dream, might as well dream big. :Pretty )

Mistress Heidi’s Christmas Wish List

I believe this nightshirt is self-explanatory.

Ditto the boots.

And the naughty boy underwear.

I mean, really.  This is Mistress Heidi we’re talking about. What were you expecting?

(In the voice of a Capital One viking…) So what’s on your Christmas list? :xmastree

Author Island is holding a Cyber Launch Party for me today to celebrate the release of INHERITING HIS SECRET CHRISTMAS BABY. Hope you’ll drop by to show me (as well as Trevor & Haylie) some love! :blowkiss

I see London.  I see France.  I see Trevor Jarrod’s underpants. (And so much more. *hubba-hubba*)

HAPPY RELEASE DAY!!!

Do you hear that?  It’s disco music, provided by The Dungeon‘s very own DJ Jazzy Mistress Heidi in celebration of INHERITING HIS SECRET CHRISTMAS BABY‘s official release!

That’s right…  Today is the day!  If you haven’t bought your copy of my brand new Silhouette Desire yet, get thee to a bookstore or Wal-Mart ASAP!  Or get your fingertips dancing across that keyboard & visit an online retailer right now!

Here, I’ll do half the work for you.  Just click on the link of your choice below:

Amazon.com :: Amazon.com Kindle e-book

Barnes & Noble.com :: BN.com NOOK ebook

There.  I really do hope you’ll run out & pick up your copy of XMAS BABY, if you haven’t already.  And then please let me know what you think.  Jot down a few questions that come to mind while you’re reading & I’ll try to do a Q&A soon to answer them for you.

Now that that’s out of the way, let’s have some fun, shall we?

First, the Release Day playlist:

“Celebration” — Kool & the Gang

“Love Child” — Diana Ross & the Supremes

“Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)” — U2

“I Wish Every Day Could Be Like Christmas” — Bon Jovi

“I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm” — Dean Martin

“Santa Baby” — Eartha Kitt

“Santa Looked a Lot Like Daddy” — Garth Brooks

“All I Want for Christmas Is You” — Mariah Carey

“What Child is This” — Carrie Underwood

“Secret Baby” — Silverman

“Baby’s Got a Secret” — The Love Dogs

Second, a lightning round of quick, fun questions for you to answer:

What do you think your favorite part of the story will be:  the inheritance, the Christmas, or the secret baby?

Is it just me, or does the guy on the cover have a Stephen Baldwin thing going on? (Before he was Born Again & almost had a shot at hotness, that is.)

The baby’s butt:  Is he wearing a diaper—yes or no?

Pretend you’re in charge of the Desire line.  Which do you like better—the book’s current title, INHERITING HIS SECRET CHRISTMAS BABY or the title that was on the manuscript when I turned it in, THE MILLIONAIRE’S SECRET CHRISTMAS BABY?

Are you glad I’m back to writing for Silhouette Desire, or would you rather I focused on all vampires all the time? (Ha ha ha ha! If you only knew what was on my To Do pile, you’d know vampires don’t even begin to scratch the surface.)

So in case you haven’t picked up on it yet…

LET THE PARTY BEGIN! :dancing
