Signing.. promo, and James Purefoy

So with the signing on friday, Im a promotiona mess over here. it looks like the arts and crafts section of summer camp threw up and them had glitter sprinkled on it. Yep, im that much of a freak when it comes to having unique promo. So for the next 12 hours Ill be sitting here watching ROME and other awesome series (like FARSCAPE) and getting my crafty on. Its times like this i wish Aud lived closer.

Im also on a full blown James Purefoy kick. ROME is the greatest show ever, lots of full frontal nudity.... I can dig it... and it passes the time. James Purefoy is so hot. Must keep watching him.

OOH and Rene and I started a new Bloggy. its called Delicious Darkness, and its going to be our new place to play. Come visit us and see what its all about. I think the graphics for it came out particularly good. LOL.

OK well crafts call.. lost to do and less time to do it in.

Audra is a tease

Yep. last night she teased me with ROME the second season. why is it a tease? because James Purefoy is NEKKID in it all the time. lots of naughty sex scenes, totally hot... and i dont have it. So now im on a quest to get it.
Why? because i adore James Purefoy. ADORE HIM. amazing actor, fantastic human being and OMG so hot. hes sexy sexy sexy.

I need to attain this dvd collection....

Monday, May 21, 2007

the week has just started...

and several things have occurred. One, i got a phone call from Rene Lyons... She always makes my Mondays fun. Bitching and moaning has never been so satisfying as to when we are on the phone. Two, I received a phone call from some guy who though I was a woman named Lisa, then hit on me, tried to tell me about some erotic dream, and that he was hepped up on NyQuil. Third, I need to find a job. Big old poo on the Job. Its not like i don't work my ass off daily with the web stuff, covers and actual writing i do. A job is seriously going to intrude on my writing time with Audra, so im a bit apprehensive.

Thursday is my birthday. That means two things. One, Ill be hiding from Family members that will be calling starting at 7am to with me well (Anyone calling me that early should have a pox on their house for even THINKING my ass would be up.) and Two, I get to see PIRATES 3 at midnight. Woo. that is worth it i think, not to mention i have two shows in NYC (Bright EYES and The Faint) that weekend. So i suppose i have something to look forward to.

Work is going well too. Gifts is almost finished, and then we only have ONE more book to finish for the year before we can get a hop on 2008 work. Im confident that well finish that one in enough time that we wont have to worry overly much about anything.

because I love Rene...


Im tellin you guys about her new print book, The Daystar. Yep, my girl is laid up after some surgery, and Im here giving you the skinny on her book. So heres the Blurby:

Can she heal lifetimes of pain and make him believe salvation is possible? Always feeling different from the world around her, a power grows within Lexine Parker. In the light is where she belongs-even as she finds herself thrust into the nocturnal realm of the Templar vampires. Scarred by a brutal past, Constantine is a creature consumed with rage. He knows only darkness and sin. Believing he fights a losing battle of redemption, heaven is something he doesn't dare hope for-until Lexine makes him believe salvation is possible. Locked away in an ancient castle, they come together in body and spirit, searching for love to chase away the darkness. With Constantine's soul at stake and Lex's life on the line, the nights tick down to a cataclysmic event that could tear them apart forever. Warning, this title contains the following: violence.

Yep. The girl got another winner with this one. The fans just love it, and If you havent read it yet, or started with Midnight Sun, do so. The series rocks.

So You can buy this book at Amazon (where, BTW, shes already paired and her preorder has gone swimmingly) and if your in the NY/PA area coming up June 1st and 9th, you can buy one from her yourself. Get it signed. Add it to your collection.

Yep. I love Rene.

His Character from Eververse: Drake


Christain Bale: Ok... the man is flat out perfect. I mean hes sexy as all get out, and has played so many kinda of roles, and his accent is divine. not to mention hes totally in love with his wife... and is one of the hottest men on the planet. Yep. total love for him. not to even mention(but i will) that seeing him completely nude and running around with a chainsaw covered in blood in American Psycho brought whole new meaning to my interest in the male form when i was younger..
Our top pick of movies: American Psycho, Equilibirum, The Prestige
His Character from Eververse: Cassiel

Top Pick movies: Deep Blue Sea, the Punnisher
His Character in Eververse: Andrei







Needless to say... Theres more but i had to pick 10.... food for thought though really, i mean People ask Aud and I how we write so quickly, and im sometimes loathe to tell them that if you had a steady stream of Hottie action on screen wouldn't you never lose your muse? Sometimes all you need is to curl up with a good movie and the muse starts talking... its my author tip of the day... get yourself a hit actor and drool for an hour or two.. all of a sudden, the possibilities are endless.
