It's Friday...

The last one of 2010! Wow, did this year go fast, or what? A lot of good things happened to me--I'm now a CMAA (Certified Medical Administrative Assistant) -- I even got a card to carry that says I'm certified. *grin* I've had my share of releases, have a few scheduled for next year...it's all good. In fact, today PROTECTED released at Changeling Press (save w/coupon code below). This is book 3 in the Shepherd's Watch series. The dogs are loose...but, enough about me. 

I'll wrap up the old year by telling you about a few happenings, where you can find some goodies, and who knows, way...way...way down there (well not that far actually *laughing*) there might be some pics to keep you warm into the new year.

Happenings:

I'm giving away a full set of the Extra Cream series over at A Sovereign Spot. Need I say more? They'll warm you up more than a bite...err, bit!

It's Friday...

Thought I'd update you on some December contests. Who doesn't love free stuff? I know I do. I am doing Silver Publishing first because, drum roll please, my M/M mermen story, THE GIFT, releases today as part of Silver's 25 Days of Christmas, and it's HOT! You can read an excerpt HERE.

Blurb:

Rad and Crayton - the same yet different. They meet as often as possible throughout the year to be together. Christmastime is particularly special; it's when they celebrate their bonding. Mermen, one born in the south Caribbean sea, the other from the frozen waters surrounding Iceland--neither can exist for long in the other's climate.

Rad returns to his summer home in Pennsylvania, determined it will be the last time. The cold has taken a deadly toll on him. Cray can go no farther south, so they will have to give up their bonding celebration, and the Christmas holiday together.

Cray discovers a way to defeat Mother Nature, but it may already be too late.
