Happy Sunday, my Darlings!  I hope you had a good week & are having an even better weekend.

So this week, the good news is that INHERITING HIS SECRET CHRISTMAS BABY is finally HERE!!!

Watch for a big, splashy official launch party here in The Dungeon on Tuesday, December 7th, the book’s official release date, but also know that XMAS BABY is available already.  It’s showing up as available in both paperback & e-book form at Amazon.com & BN.com, as well as several other online retailers, & I’ve also gotten reports that it’s showing up in Wal-Marts & bookstores already.

So if you’re out shopping this weekend, keep your eyes peeled & grab your copy of my contribution to Silhouette Desire’s “Dynasties:  The Jarrods.”  (Or you can order it, of course, from the aforementioned Amazon.com or BN.com.)  I promise that even if you haven’t read any of the other “Jarrods” books, you will find Trevor & Haylie’s story quite satisfying all on its own! :love

On top of that, I have been happily & successfully getting all of my agent & editor gifts together.  Hanukkah fell really early this year, so there was some hustle involved in that one for Agent Extraordinaire.  And I want to be sure to get the Christmas ones out soon, too, so they arrive before all of the publishing offices start to close for the holidays.  (I can’t tell you what I’m sending, though, or it might ruin the surprised for the intended recipients, who may even now be reading this post. :stalker )

I have also been working on…sung to the tune of “The Twelve Pains of Christmas”… sending Christmas cards! Granted, I don’t do many, but the few I am sending need to get in the mail, too.

No special holiday stamps this year, though…I am still buying & proudly using the “Adopt a Shelter Pet” stamps only.

Are you? :dog

Last but not least, I have been writing, writing, writing.  I’m farther behind on my deadline for MUST LOVE VAMPIRES than I’d like, but I’m working on it.  (The holidays are just so darn hectic, even if I don’t expect them to be. :stinky )  I just finished a really good, really hot love scene, though, & am typing as fast as I can!

So how about the rest of you?

What happy events took place in your lives this week?

And so far, do the holidays have you feeling festive & chipper :xmastree …or frazzled & frantic :cry ?

My bad! I very nearly forgot to announce this week’s Free Book Friday winner! :whhhat   So let me rectify that now:

:dancing   Victoria CK!!! :dancing

Congratulations, Victoria! Please contact me with your full name & mailing address, & I will get your copy of 365 Days of Sensational Sex out to you. Use it carefully. :yougogirl

With the snow & cold temperatures of Winter finally arrived, I was looking for something a little Spring-y to warm up The Dungeon.

Umm…yeah. This is not doing the trick. :sick

Here in Central PA, it’s hunting season, & I don’t think any of my Darlings of The Dungeon will be surprised to hear that I am not a fan. :devil

Thus the inspiration for this week’s Friday Funnies.  Hunters may not be amused, but I certainly am! :tpspspspt

A Friday Funny
