Let’s Party!
Wow, what a great booksigning I had yesterday at Waldenbooks! Major fun for sure. Jen Pressley and Julie Anderson, two of my fav Goodreads friends, came from Georgia and upstate South Carolina so I could sign their novels. Julie brought her two teenage sons and her yummy husband (yeah, Jen caught me ogling him before we knew who he was…what a hoot!). All three of her men waited patiently for almost an hour while we laughed and talked about yummy guys and sex and…..well, mostly that (wicked smile). I met lots of new buyers of my books, some who had heard about the booksigning (like Melissa), and some who hadn’t. I saw lots of local friends (like Larry and Lindsay). Plus, I sold a bunch of books, even though I spent most of my time laughing and talking. A girl-party for sure, just like I promised. Even my boy-toy husband came near the end. He had planned to come earlier, but his golf match that morning had been pushed back, so he didn’t know if he would finish in time to come by. But he did. Bless Bast and the Fey! They were definitely working overtime for me yesterday.
It was also the first time I had done a booksigning with popular vampire novelist G.L. Giles from Charleston, SC. We’re both Witches, and we worked so well together yesterday that we’ve decided to do more booksignings together. The next one will be at that same Waldenbooks at Columbiana Center on Saturday, September 6, from 1:00 – 4:00 pm. So if you missed the booksigning yesterday, come see me in September. We’ll have a blast. I guarantee it!
Before I left my office for the booksigning I finished major edits on part of Chapter One of Bewitched at the Beach. Yeah, I’m back in the hot tub with Wynn, and loving every minute of it (gee, what a surprise *naughty grin*). Jen and Julie had asked what novel I am currently reading, now that I’ve finished the two erotica novels by Shayla Black. It’s an erotic paranormal romance I picked up at B&N last week by an author I was not familiar with. Of course I couldn’t remember the author’s name or the title when they asked. Here it is. It’s called Dreamwalker by Kathleen Dante. Hot sex, but not a lot of dialogue, so I’m enjoying it kinda, but the lack of dialogue is keeping me from being emotionally involved with the characters. A little different for me.
Still, that doesn’t mean I’m not hopelessly in lust with the hero, Damon, an incubus. He could double for Wynn in a heartbeat. No kidding. Gorgeous bod, great lover, long black hair. Totally yummy! Oh, yeah, I’m in lust alright….one of my fav places to be! *naughty smile*

Re: great to meet you
Hi, Melissa!
I just sent you a Goodreads message about your blogger blog. And now you are here at LJ. AWESOME! I love my Blogger blog network for my novels, but adore the social networking aspect of LJ. Blogger and LJ…the best of both worlds!!
I’m so glad you are enjoying my novel, “The Witches of Dixie.” It is a very spcial and empowering novel. Actually, it is the first 4 novels and novellas in that series. When I changed publishers last summer they put all 4 in one big book.
Then “What Witches Want” makes the jump to PNR. You will just love the continuing story of Savannah (and all the other Witches from WOD) in that one. Plus, yummy guys and hot sex. What could be better?! *naughty smile*
That’s all real Witch stuff in those novels too. Yup, that’s what we are really like in 2008.
Loved meeting you yesterday, too, at the booksigning!! Much love to you and happy reading!
xoxo
