Release dates, bookfests and wedding plans..oh my!!

Hello lovelies!!

I'm a very, very bad author...my release date for Steam Heat has come and gone without me posting here about it!! I do have a semi-good excuse though since I was stuck out of state dealing with a family emergency...but still! Anywho...if you like paranormal romance, steampunk romance, erotic stories, or all of the above...GO BUY a copy of Steam Heat now!! At only $2.99, how can you resist! :)


In other news, my fiance(yeah, I know you all know who he is, I just really, really like saying it)Nick Valentino and I will be at the Southern Festival of Books this weekend! We will be dressed in out steampunk finest, selling and signing copies of our books! So, if you are around the Nashville area this weekend come find us! We will be doing some fun giveaways as well!

In other, non-book related news, Nick and I have started looking at places to have our wedding, putting together guest lists and all the other fun wedding planning stuff. Have I mentioned I'm making my dress...since the wedding is only 6 months away, I guess I better get cracking! I will keep you updated with all the fun details as we get even deeper into planning our steampunk wedding! :)

I think that is it for now!

Real life romance!!

Hi lovelies!

I know I normally talk about my romance books here, well today I'm going to swerve into real life and tell you a little something romantic about me! :)

Two days ago, the love of my life, Nick Valentino, got down on one knee on the steps of the Parthenon in Nashville, Claddagh ring in hand, asking me to marry him. The whole thing is kind of this mass of happy, glowy, feelings that is kind of a blur because it was unexpected and amazing and I was so happy to say YES!!!!

I was sort of clueless as to what he was up to, I swear my hair is blonde at the roots...we were going to go out for dinner and he asked if we could stop by the park because there was an art show going on first. I was like sure, sounds fun, but I have nothing to wear(I was behind on laundry)so can we stop at goodwill(romantic huh?) so I can see if I can find a new shirt or something. He was so sweet and patient while I spent which must have felt like an eternity to him, digging through the racks...I did find an awesome dress which I wore...seems more fitting then the two day worn shirt I had on to be proposed in, still if I'd know what he was up to...there is no way I would have wasted an hour digging though the goodwill racks!! lol

Anyways, it was so amazing, sweet and romantic and I can't wait to marry him! Stay tuned for all the craziness that is going to follow as I plan our Irish/steampunk wedding!!

*hugs and kisses*

Travels to Alabama and Atlanta, books and a photoshoot!

Hello Lovelies!! As per usual I'm crazy busy! This last week I did a phootshoot with Nick Valentino(my super talented, very sexy boyfriend) with some very talented photography students at the Nossi College of Art in Nashville, TN. The shoot was a ton of fun, although I did almost die of the hypothermia after the sun went down. *note to self* (wear more clothes next time I do a shoot outside) :)


This coming weekend we set off to squeeze two events into one day!! On Saturday during the day we will be in Montgomery, AL for the Alabama Bookfest! It should be a ton of fun and fingers crossed we should sell a lot of books!! Then we break down the table at superhuman speeds, jump in our little ghetto car and speed to Atlanta, GA for the Clockwork Carnival that night! So, if any of you are closeish to either of those venues please drop by and say hi...and you know um, by a book...maybe...hahaha
