Audiobooks, Anyone???
Do you listen to audiobooks?
When I drove to work, I listened to them on the way there and back home, on trips, painted a whole room listening to one and was ready to paint the whole house, love to hear a book when I'm unable to read one or do anything else.
I just finished proofing and then approving The Shadow Elf (YA), half way done with proofing In the Dead of the Night, and have finished Forbidden Love and Demon Trouble Too (YA), both in review right now. The Winged Fae, The Highlander, Huntress for Hire, and The Trouble with Demons are in process.
So I'm off to proof the rest of In the Dead of the Night, and once the narrator makes the necessary corrections, I can approve it, send a check to pay her, and then it'll go into review. Once it's done with the review, it's available for the listening public. So much fun!
The great news is I have some review copies!!!

- Deidre's Secret (Unabridged)
- View In iTunes
- If you have never gotten an audiobook free to listen to and to give a review, I've got some free review copies. So if you'll comment, we can hook up and I can send you the code to get one. :)
- Hope your Saturday is great! After I finish proofing In the Dead of the Night, I have to go over the final copyedits on Jaguar Hunt, and then turn it in, and THEN I can get back to writing Jaguar Pride!
- I just finished Hero of a Highland Wolf edits, but that will be coming back to me in the form of final copyediting, and also I just finished writing Hawk Fae, and that's being beta read right now before it's available to readers. I also need to format the print copy.
- So it's already super busy, finished lots of things over the first 4 days of the New Year, and it's going great!!!
- How about you? Need an audiobook to listen to while you paint a room? Take down decorations? Clean house? It makes it go so much more quickly, you have the fun of doing two things at once, and if you're like me, I love to read even when I can't "read", and the work is done before you realize it!

A Sense of Duty
I hope you all have had a wonderful week so far, including a fantastic Christmas if you celebrate it. I, personally, can't believe that we are almost to the end of 2013--how did that happen? Time flies so quickly these days!
This will be my last post of 2013 as next week rings in the new year, so I'd like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a peaceful and wonderful 2014.
I'm excited that the new year will bring more re-releases of my books and even a new book or two. Right now, my latest release, a romance that just came out on December 21st, is A Sense of Duty, written under another pen name of mine, Arleigh Bish. It has just a bit of spice to it as well as some comedy. It was first released as You're All I Want for Christmas, but my current publisher decided to change the name back to the original, and I'm glad. It speaks to a quality that both main characters share, one that draws them together, as the description below shows:
Struggling single mom Heidi Gentry and ex-soldier Rick Goodall are two people who always try to do the right thing, even at their own expense. When Wendy, Heidi’s best friend since high school, asks her to start writing her older brother Rick while he serves in Afghanistan, Heidi is stunned to find herself falling for a man she barely remembers, especially one who’s married. She immediately decides she is still on the rebound from her divorce and cuts off communication. However, Christmas often brings surprises, and a chance encounter at the local mall convinces Rick, back from Afghanistan and divorced, he has to find out where he stands with the woman who captured his heart with her very first e-mail. With his sister's help, they devise a wacky plan to help everyone get what they want for Christmas this year, even if he has to go undercover to do it.
Happy New Year to everyone here at Fierce Romance and to all our readers. I hope 2014 brings dreams that come true and health and happiness for all. Happy, happy reading!
My Favorite Week Of The Year
The week between Christmas and New
Year is my favorite week of the year. Not because it’s bookended by two holidays,
but because nobody works. Even for those of us who do have to go into an office
or punch a time clock during that week, little work actually gets done. Yes, despite
the fact our bodies are there, we’re on a mental vacation. (And getting paid for it!)
On the other hand, it can also be a
pretty productive week. Without the pressure of work deadlines, we can get
caught up on all that stuff that piles up day-after-day at the office or out in
the field. We can also do this if we're at home that week. So it can be very beneficial from that perspective, too.
Whichever way you spend it, the week between Christmas and New Year, for me, at least, always seems to pass very slowly. Time crawls. Which is good. We all tend to rush through our days, anxious to get everything done, but like my yoga teacher says, the only moment you are alive is THIS moment. The past is past, and the future hasn’t happened yet. The only moment is NOW. Right now. So stop. Enjoy it. Live in the moment. Appreciate right now. Time is big when you think of it like that!
So this week, I give you the gift of
time.
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas,
and I wish you all a Happy New year!
See
you in 2013,
