I’m away for three weeks. (Sadly, it will NOT be to the site of the photo on the left… I wish!)
I’ll be back in mid-May. See you then!
I think God is a callous bitch not making me a lesbian. I’m deeply disappointed by my sexual interest in men.

So, to balance that un-sexiness, here’s a totally gratuitous shot of Naya Rivera. She plays “uninhibited bad girl Santana” on the TV series Glee. And, evidently, she is also a “lesbian sex symbol.” Why do I always not know these things? I guess I should start watching Glee.
I should be up to full speed next week. I can’t even think about food right now, guys. Maybe I’ll have some yummy meal plans next Friday. In the meantime, have a great weekend!
A lot of people took advantage of The Beard‘s free promotion day: between 400 and 500! I hope they enjoyed the story. Collection #1 experienced a nice bump, and that was the book promoted at the end of The Beard, so it seems a good number of people read The Beard right away. Thank you!
It’s too soon to tell if I will enroll all my titles in Amazon Select… But who knows? If I do, there will be free promos galore!
Among my (many) writing projects, I’m toiling away on a sequel to The Beard. Kelly and Anna have broken up. Kelly attends her parents’ umpteenth renewal of marriage vows. It’s a very stuffy, Wasp-y affair on Martha’s Vineyard. And who shows up but… you guessed it. Anna. Mad things ensue. Sexy things. The police may or may not arrive. Back to writing…
I’ve enrolled The Beard in Amazon Select, which means that Amazon is now officially the only place you can get the ebook. Why? Because I can offer the book as a “borrow” to people who are members of Amazon Prime, and I can also make the book free for 5 days of my choice out of a consecutive 90 days.
So I’m happy to announce that The Beard, my strongest seller to date, will be appearing on Amazon for a price of… FREE! That’s right, free.
The free period will be Monday, April 15. Twenty-four hours only! Click the flags, below, to be transported to the book’s various sales pages all over the world. Tell your friends! Thanks everyone, and have a great spring weekend.

I’ve settled on a fantastic narrator to record the first of what will hopefully be many audiobooks!
The Beard will be available for audio download at Audible.com, Amazon.com, and iTunes beginning in late May. Not long! The running time should be between one and two hours. I’m futzing with audiobook cover ideas. The cover has to be square (as opposed to a regular, rectangular cover for ebooks and paper books). I might just add a blue border to the left and right of the original cover and “fill” the space that way. Unless I get creative!
My biggest celebrity crush, tennis champion Caroline Wozniacki, has posed in a series of underwear ads! Why wasn’t I informed of this? Immediately?
From her website, Caroline explains her motivation: “A feminine lifestyle/leisure underwear collection for the girl that wants the good looks from fashion, a perfect fit for her body, and a quality that’s hard to beat.” Quality. Indeed.
Hmmm… What if there was a beautiful blonde Danish tennis player… who met a hip, beautiful fashion photographer in New York? And sparks flew? Huh? Huuuuuh?
There may or may not be a story like that coming from Anne, soon! And there may or may not be any resemblance to a real-life, beautiful Danish tennis star. Any ideas for a title?
