Finally, finally, finally, I have a cover to share for the upcoming Lori Foster Benefit Anthology, ANIMAL ATTRACTION, which includes my sexy, funny, downright adorable novella, “Gimme Shelter”. :puppydance

Four of today’s most popular romance authors join forces to help homeless animals by bringing you four sizzling tales of finding love unexpectedly—with a little help from man’s best friend.

What do you think—is it hot enough for ya? :hotkitty

Remember, this is the anthology that benefits homeless animals.  All Author and Agent proceeds from sales of this book will benefit the Animal Adoption Foundation, a no-kill animal shelter in Hamilton, Ohio.

My contribution to the anthology is “Gimme Shelter”, which I had an absolute blast writing.  It’s chock full of rescued puppies & kittens, not to mention a super-sexy hero & a heroine I think many of you will totally relate with.  (Or at least you’ll want to. :winkcat )

About “Gimme Shelter”

When animal lover Erica Castillo’s sexy neighbor shows up on her doorstep at midnight, in the pouring rain, with three tiny kittens cradled in his strong arms, she can’t turn him away.  But will Dean Maxwell’s rescue efforts make him a temporary hero…or the forever kind?

:rescued

ANIMAL ATTRACTION goes on sale June 1, 2013!  (E-book only, I’m afraid.  Sorry, but the paperback edition won’t be available until June 2014.)  But it is already available for pre-order at Amazon.com.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE run over & pre-order your copy today.  Or mark your calendars to order it on June 1st.  But this is a cause that is near & dear to my heart, so the more copies you buy, the more the animals benefit.  I will even be buying (& gifting) copies myself to help raise as much money as possible for AAF. :lovemykitty

Happy Sunday, everyone!  I hope you’re having a great weekend.

This week, I AM HAPPY that I finally got the yard mowed.  Yeah, yeah, I know everybody else has been mowing the grass for a month now, but I’m a rebel & simply don’t care.  If I had my way, I’d let the grass do whatever it wanted & wait until Winter hit to let the snow kill it naturally.  You know, the way God intended. :laughingdog2

I AM HAPPY that I’ve finally gotten almost all of the Free Book Friday & Monthly Mystery Prizes (from my HappyBookers loop) that I owe to readers packed up & ready to mail.  Now remember, I said almost.  There are still a few to go.  But I know some of you have been waiting quite a while for your goodies, & I promise you won’t have to wait too much longer. :bigeyew

I AM HAPPY that I finally got a new filling in one of my teeth.  It didn’t actually bother me, but the dentist said it needed to be done, & I’d been dreading the procedure so much that I’m happy just to have it out of the way.  There was a little more pain than I would have liked, despite their claims that “anesthetics have come a lot way” since the last time I had a filling put in.  Especially since the Novocaine wore off almost as soon as I left the office.  I literally walked out, got in the car, & went “OW!”  Since then I’ve had a low-grade toothache & headache to contend with, but thankfully Motrin helped.  And, yeah, I’m still glad it’s done & out of the way. :goteam

Last but not least, I AM HAPPY to finally have PROJECT: RUNAWAY BRIDE turned in.  It took longer me than I would have liked to revise & polish, but it really did turn out so well.  I just love, love, love this story.  Very sexy, romantic, & emotionally intense.  In my humble opinion, anyway. :winkcat  And now it’s on Editor C‘s desk, awaiting his perusal.  Fingers crossed he loves Reid & Juliet as much as I do.

So that makes me a pretty happy camper this week—how about you?  Tell us what you’re feeling happy &/or grateful about this week so we can do a little jig with you. :puppydance
