I have errands to do today, including a blood draw at a distant VA facility. Not fun. So, I thought I’d leave you with a puzzle and a contest! Something I’ll enjoy solving, right alongside you!

For a chance to win a $5 Amazon gift card, solve the puzzle
and tell me what you’d rather be doing today!

Contests!

First, here’s my friendly public service reminder that there are still open contests! Don’t miss out on a chance to win something!

1. Diana Cosby: Update — Romance Reader’s Build A Habitat For Humanity House (Contest) — Win a FREE signed book!
2. Tell me a story… (Contest) — Win an Amazon gift card!

An Inspirational Puzzle!

Just ’cause it’s Monday,
and we have all the way to Friday to go!

I’m still recovering from my night with Joan Jett and Heart! Recovering, I say, because my poor feet and back are aching! Between having to stand to see anything and traversing up and down a million stairs for beer and bathroom breaks, I’m a little sore!

Oh, to be twenty again! But hey! Another two great bands scratched off my bucket list!

Joan Jett was exactly what you’d expect—basic rock ‘n’ roll, totally fun! Heart was a mixed bag. Ann Wilson sang some very strange songs among her greatest hits, but just to hear that voice live… I nearly cried when she took the stage I was sooooo happy. Damn, that woman can still sing!!

Anyways, I’m a day late posting this, or anything, really. Catching up today. Here’s a photo from Joan Jett’s “Crimson & Clover.” It’s not a great quality shot, but have fun with the puzzle!

This puzzle gives you a hint of what I should be doing today. Instead, I’m torn between cleaning up words for a friend and watching Descendants 3 with the munchkins. I can’t do both…

So, have fun with the puzzle. Nudge me to work faster so I can do what this pic hints at! And oh, the color makes me happy! Do you think I can find one in yellow?

I finished up two back-to-back editing jobs, and I’m feeling a little too lazy to do much of anything, kind of like the two in this picture. Have fun with the puzzle!

Just to remind you, these contests are still open…

1. BIG SKY WEDDING is almost here!!! (Contest) — Win an Amazon gift card!
2. Caroline Clemmons: An Agent for Magdala (Contest, FREE Read, & Excerpt) — Win an Amazon gift card!

And be sure to enter today’s contest (below)!

First, let’s play!

Contest

The puzzle is a cover reveal for an upcoming re-release of story I wrote a while ago. The romance is f/f. The concept is wicked cool—set in my fave city, New Orleans, and involves a witch and a dead woman and some scary voodoo loas… For a chance to win a download of one of my recent releases, NOT Big Sky Wedding, let me know if this is something you would read.

UPDATE: The winner is…Jennifer Beyer!

Let’s Play!

First, your brain needs a little warm-up. It probably won’t be a stretch for you to figure out what I consider my “brain juice”, but work for it anyway!

Contest

My daughter says I’ve ruined some very common words for her. She’s been my beta reader for many of my short story collections, and I’ve twisted her arm to read my stories a time or two. So, now, she has a list of trigger words that make her throw up a little in her mouth. Her list includes: moist (#1 most hated word), juicy, folds, slit, kernel, pea, wet, and vagina.

So, for a chance to win a $5 Amazon card,
tell me what words make you shudder!

A Reminder

I have two new releases! If you’re read them, I’d love for you post a review. Readers trust other readers’ recommendations! And thank you!
