Have a Great Weekend!

Hi Everyone, thanks again for following me around my blog tour this week and for making release day so special.

Don't forget to stop by on Monday for our special guest author. I know you'll give her a warm welcome and enjoy visiting with her.

Hope you all have a great weekend filled with your favorite things!

Friday Fun at The Book Binge

Hey Everyone!

Hope your week went exactly the way you wanted. I'm headed to the finish line as far as blogs are concerned. One last blog...Yes, one LAST CHANCE to visit with me this week! Here's the link: http://thebookbinge.com/2010/02/guest-author-christy-reece.html. We're talking about secondary characters today. Come weigh in for a CHANCE to win a signed copy of NO CHANCE.

Thanks to everyone who's followed me around Blog land these last few days. We've had fun, some great book recommendations and a couple of clues about the new trilogy.

I'm in the midst of preparing for a March 1 deadline, so I'll be offline most of the weekend. I do want to thank all who have emailed and messaged me on Facebook about NO CHANCE. So happy that you're enjoying Gabe and Skylar's story.

Oh, and about half an hour ago, I received a lovely surprise. Two copies of SECOND CHANCE from my publisher. Oh. My. Gosh! Never imagined how beautiful they would be. So excited! Can't wait for you to see them on the shelves!

Monday, don't forget, one of our favorite authors will be visiting. With that special event going on, we'll put off Recommend Monday to Tuesday.

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend. Stay warm and curl up with a good book or two.

See you at The Book Binge!

And tonight, I'm going to be doing a blog talk radio spot. You can call in and chat with me, if you like! I'll post the link this afternoon!

Happy Thursday!

It's Recommend Monday!

Hey Everyone!

Did you have a fabulous Valentine's Day? Mine was most excellent. Card, candy, bath products and dinner out. My Sweetheart is such a sweetheart! Hope yours was wonderful too.

So what about some good book recommendations today? Did you read anything last week that you're dying to talk about and tell others to read?

As for me, I'm still writing synopses, planning blogs and doing 1001 things I don't think of as far as promotion is concerned until it's almost too late. I am reading a bit, but they're for the Rita contest, so I can't share them. However, I will say this: A lot of great books came out in 2009!

I'm the featured author over at Romance University today. Kelsey Browning was kind enough to interview me and I'm answering questions all day. So if there's a question you haven't had the CHANCE to ask me, come on over and chat with me there. Books are being given away! Here's the link: http://romanceuniversity.org.

Would love to see you there! Kara has already made a visit. Thanks, Kara!

Happy Monday, all! Now, let's hear about your good reads!

Friday Night Fun

Hey All,

I'm sure you're headed out to a fun night on the town or staying in and snuggling with your honey or a good book. I'll make this fast so you can start your weekend...hopefully with a win!

Prize is a signed copy of NO CHANCE.

U.S. and Canada residents only. Previous NO CHANCE winners not eligible.

What color are Gabe's eyes?

Ready. Set. Post your answer here!

Finally Friday

Happy Friday!

Have you had a good week? It's been a busy one for me and it's getting busier. Yay! And, give or take a few hours, only ten days until NO CHANCE releases. Yay! Yay!

I've got blogs to get ready and still working on synopses, so we'll make this short and sweet. One give away this morning and one give away this evening. Prizes? An early copy of NO CHANCE!

Winner limited to U.S. and Canada.

Question: What is the name of the waiter who serves the hot fudge sundaes to Skylar and Gabe? (in excerpt)

First person to post the correct answer here wins. And if you don't win, come back at 6:00 pm (CST) for another CHANCE!

Ready. Set. Post!

Wacky Wednesday

Hey Everyone, sorry to be running late today. Went to bed too early, woke up around 4:00 and did some work and then went back to bed. Now I'm running two hours behind!

Wasn't Monday fun? Having Pamela Clare spend so much time with us was such a treat! And so nice of her to come back and respond to posts. Don't forget to run out on Tuesday, March 2 and buy NAKED EDGE. And I was thrilled to hear that she's working on a proposal for another I-Team book. Yay for us!

Since I'm running so behind and got some catching up to do, I'm going to make this quick and easy. The first one who comments here with the correct answer to this question wins an early copy of NO CHANCE. And I hate to do this, but the winner must be limited to the U.S. and Canada. I mailed a book last week and it cost twice the amount of the book to mail! So, if you're in the U.S. or Canada, be the first to answer this question:

Finish this quote from RESCUE ME:

"I've been staring at you because..."

She raised an elegant brow. "Because...?"

"You remind me of someone."

A tiny wrinkle developed on her smooth forehead as an odd expression flickered across her beautiful face. "Who?"

????????????

What/who did Jordan say Devon reminded him of? Hint: It's in the excerpt!

The first one who answers correctly, wins an signed copy of NO CHANCE. And if you don't win, don't worry. There will be another CHANCE on Friday!

Good luck!

Monday's Musings

Good Monday All-

Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. Did your team win yesterday? I was torn. Since I used to live in Indiana, I love the Colts, but since I always root for the underdog and with Drew Brees as the Saints' QB, who used to be the QB at Purdue, which was just five minutes from my house, I wanted to root for them too. Whew! What a conundrum. So, I just decided that either way...my team won.

No great reads to report for me this week. I spent most of my time finishing up page proofs for LAST CHANCE. Wait, I'll report that as a great read! Every time I read LAST CHANCE, I love it a little more. Can't wait for you guys to meet McKenna in NO CHANCE. I hope you like her as much as I do.

After finishing up page proofs, I went back to writing synopses for the new trilogy and spent some time looking into some advertising opportunities for the new trilogy. Be sure to tell your neighbors, friends and fellow romance readers that on February 23, NO CHANCE will be in stores. Would love to sell a zillion that first day. Well, okay, I don't think they're printing a zillion, but a couple of statewide sell-outs would be fun. (:

Enough about me, what about you? First, how much snow did you get? All we had was rain here, which I'm ever so grateful for as opposed to the frozen stuff. And what wonderful reads do you have to recommend for us this week? My TBR list is growing larger, but it can never be too large. Right?

We may have a special guest pop in sometime today. I know she's super busy, so in case she can't come by, I won't say who. However, if she gets the CHANCE, I know you'll be thrilled to hear from her. She's one of our favorites! Hopefully she'll tell us about one of her upcoming releases.

Okay, that's it for me. I'll come back from time to time and see what great books you're recommending. On Wednesday, I'll post again and give you a CHANCE to win an early copy of NO CHANCE.

Until later, stay safe and warm and keep on reading!

Happy Friday!

Hi Everyone-

Looks like it's going to be a cold, wet and snowy weekend. Perfect weather to do two of my most favorite things in the whole wide world. Yep, you got it...write and read!!!

I did hear a rumor of a little football game being played on Sunday, so might have to check that out too. So those are my weekend plans. What about you?

Yesterday, I finished up page proofs for LAST CHANCE and sent them on their way. Every time I read this book, I fall more in love with McKenna and Lucas. And I hope you will too.

Oh, and when I returned home yesterday, I found a box of books! You guessed it. My author copies of NO CHANCE. Yay!!! They're gorgeous and look just like they do on my website. I can't wait for you guys to see them.

I'm in the midst of ordering bookmarks and I've got to tell you, I'm almost as excited about them as I am about my CHANCE covers. They're so pretty!

As I mentioned to you a few weeks ago, I'm going to be doing a round of blogs and interviews around the time that NO CHANCE releases. I'm excited that I'll be blogging at Borders True Romance site on Monday, February 22. So please mark your calendars for that. Next week, I'll post again all the blogs I'll be visiting. Would love to see you at each one!

Our Monday group is growing and I'm thrilled! We've gotten some wonderful recommendations, which is great for readers and for authors. And how fabulous was it that Stephanie Tyler dropped by this week? Did you guys notice that she made the NYT list with Hold on Tight? How terrific is that? And it was well deserved. She is such a talented author.

Okay, I'm off to do some writing. Don't forget to drop by on Monday and tell us about all the fabulous books you read this week. Also, on Wednesday, I'll pop in and give you guys a CHANCE to win an early copy of NO CHANCE!

Hope you have a fabulous weekend. Stay warm and enjoy life to the fullest!

Monday's Musings

Good Monday All!

Hope you had a fabulous weekend, filled with fun and lots of good reads. My weekend was a busy one. I received page proofs for LAST CHANCE Friday morning and immediately jumped into them. For me, reading page proofs is one of the most difficult parts of writing. Well... Actually none of it is easy, but with page proofs, you have to be so careful. After writing the book and then reading it about hundred times, it's so easy to miss something. Every word has to be read...no skimming. You know why? Because it's the LAST CHANCE to change anything! *snort*

So, what did you read last week that you want the world to know about? What great books can you recommend?

We may have a couple of our favorite authors drop by this week, just to say hi, so be sure to stop by frequently to see if they were able to drop in. I know they'll love talking to you as much as I do! (:

Okay, I'm diving back into page proofs since they're due this week. I'll stop in and chat with you throughout the day.

So tell us: What fantabulous book do you want us to read this week?
