Word of the Week: Stealth Abs — When your ripped six pack is covered by a thick layer of fat. “This isn’t a beer belly, it’s my stealth abs.”

(Thank goodness none of our Hunk of the Month candidates are packing a set of these, huh? :sick )

It is time once again to pick our Hunk of the Month…this time for December.  And because I’ve got another fabulous new release out in December—Silhouette Desire’s INHERITING HIS SECRET CHRISTMAS BABY, for anyone who’s been hanging out under a rock :stalker —I thought we should try to make our Hunk one who could double for XMAS BABY‘s sexy, powerful, & adventurous Trevor Jarrod.

So you tell me…who would you like to spend the month with here in The Dungeon?

Ryan Reynolds

Matthew McConaughey

Although Thanksgiving was a few days ago, it is still Thanksgiving weekend, so this is going to be my official list of things I’m thankful for this holiday season.

I am thankful for WIPs and Chains, this wonderful blog spot we call The Dungeon, & for all of my wonderful Darlings of The Dungeon who hang out here every day, keeping the place lively & fun!

I am thankful for my wonderful new web designer, Jeannie, of Will Design for Chocolate.  For my new website & blog, & for having The Dungeon back on the rack…I mean, on track, after so long without it.

I am thankful for my family, who loves, supports, & puts up with me.  And for each & every one of my babies, who are just the sweetest, smartest, cutest, most snuggly babies on the whole planet.  (Not that I’m biased or anything.) :kitty

I am thankful for my wonderful agent & for all three of my wonderful editors…as well as all the people who work behind the scenes every step of the way to get my books contracted, edited, beautified, & on bookstore shelves.

I am thankful that I am able able to write stories I love for publishers & readers that I love.

I am thankful for for the word “wonderful,” without which I would have no way of describing all these wonderful things I’m so very thankful for. :winkwink

I know you all have a lot to be thankful for, too, so share them with us, will you?

And now to announce the winner of this week’s Free Book Friday giveaway, Women Who Joke Too Much…

Yeah, sorry, but I’m not much of a Rachael Ray fan, so this is definitely a big FAIL for me. Others (especially men :eeee ) may feel differently.
