Goodreads

A lot of you probably already know I'm a terrible procrastinator. Well Goodreads has been my latest little hangout *sigh*. In all seriousness though, it's a great place to check out what your friends are reading (you befriend people just like you do on facebook) and what ratings they are giving books - it's a fantastic way to see recommendations and read reviews.
It's also where some of my own books have been read and rated (oh, the addiction! LOL). 
Hmm, time to have a *bit* of a look (g)...

And the cover of the year goes to...

Kylie Griffin's VENGEANCE BORN!! This is her debut novel and book 1 of the Light Blade series, released 7th February 2012! This is a must buy for me. You can find out more at Kylie Griffin's blog where you can also find links to pre-order online!

CONGRATULATIONS KYLIE! 

Galactic Burn - COVER!!!

I had to share this amazing cover - totally not what I asked for, but totally HOT!! I'm pretty pleased with it, and think it ah, captures the three heroes rather well (g)
I haven't got word of a release day yet, but should know in the next few days =))))

Time Out in Fiji

I had such a great time in Fiji with my 2 eldest daughters and my mum, it was *wonderful*. The Outrigger was a gorgeous resort, the local people so very friendly *BULA*!!!!!!!!!!
I thought I'd share a few photo's taken over there =)

Sweet Blog Award

Since I'm obviously so SWEET (g) Maree Anderson nominated me for this award. Yes, yes, I know, she's obviously had four too many whiskey's on the rocks, but hey, who am I to complain! Thanks so much Maree!! (there rule number 1 of this blog award thingy done *tick*)


Now, apparently all I have to do is share seven random facts about myself. Here we go:

~ I was once a vegetarian, and still eat very little meat.
~ I first started writing for the presents line of harlequin, before paranormal writing swept me up in its loving wings.
~ I love wearing comforatable clothes, aka track pants/sweats and baggy t's. Particularly while writing. 
~ I am a great procrastinator. If there's any form of distraction, I've found it. I have to be very focused when I'm on the computer, hence the reason I often write freehand, much quicker!!
~ I love animals, especially cats and horses. Dolphins and whales also fascinate me.
~ I have three girls of very widespread ages. 21, 13 and almost 4. I also have three stepchildren (yes, this house has been very noisy and busy) and one grandchild.
~ My pet hate is 'whingers' or people who complain about their lot in life. (do something about it!)


Okay, now I need to pass this award onto ten deserving blog buddies *evil cackle* who may or may not like to participate.
In no particular order these are:
