Lots going on...

Still interviewing assistants. AAD stuff is almost in the bag, and Im getting ready for a solid month of writing before AAD. I have other things to do in between, but anyone that knows me knows that writing takes up about 75% of my day when Im in a writing groove. I have things that need finishing to send out on submission, and Audra and I have to outline two more books.

Im excited to see her in Sept. It will be good to hangout with her, and to see my nephew. We will be celebrating two awesome things. One, the new release with Total E Bound, To Collar and Keep, and the convention only release of FOREVER SHADOW. These are for the cons only, and you can get them at ConTEXT, AAD, AlbaCon and Collingswood Book Festival. Ok... and Im going to give a few copies away here on the bloggy in August... Can you say.. Scavenger hunt? LOL

Time to get back to writing. I have tons to do.

I AM IN NEED OF AN ASSISTANT FOR AAD!

So due to life getting in the way, I need a new executive assistant for AAD. This is such a last minute thing for me, and I am having enough problems going on with out of the blue issues that I dont have the time to really LOOK for one. So Im going to put the call out here.

WANTED: Executive Assistant to the Director, Authors After Dark

Qualities:
Organizational skills
ability to think on your feet
Self starter
professionalism
Motivated

Duties to include:
keeping the director (me) on task
Helping with the door prizes
Patrolling and watching the Charity baskets
seeing to the Panels and the needs of the moderators
Helping to decorate and set up for meals

TIMEFRAME:
Thursday Sept 16- Sunday 19th (to help set up and get books squared away)

COMPENSATION:
Comped Registration and Free room. TONS of free books and goodies, Staff Tshirt...

Yes, I know I said we weren't comping the con for anyone, but because the Assistant is pretty much what boils down to the on site director (so I'm able to be there as an AUTHOR as well as staff)....

candidates need to really be organized and make me feel like I couldnt LIVE without you being there. You need to be motivated, truthworthy and a people person.

You think you can rock this? Email me at blueflamesabove AT yahoo[dot] com with your credentials and why you think I should pick you.

Go forth, and please forward this blog post to anyone you think might be able to do it.

A few Cali shots...

Ok these are from Madame T's in LA:



As you can see, it was awesome. I have others but these were my favorites. I also have some shots from Big Bear, and driving around Hell's half acre AKA the Morongo Valley Basin But they will have to wait till i get home to update them. So I leave you with a parting shot, Jonah, in all his fat beagle goodness sleeping on the floor of Cara's house..

We got our new cover!!!!!


Ok Im in Cali, and while Im having a freaking ball, Im really excited about this cover!

Isnt it just pretty? Its really good for a second book in the series, and I KNOW you guys will LOVE harley and arabella. OOh the only thing? Arabella doesnt wear that horrible shade of lipstick... Harley wont have something that belongs in 1987 surrounding the base of his cock, *Snicker*

So what do you think?
