Warm Fuzzy Feeling

During the Rulebreaker Blog Tour I was lucky enough to be a guest on several fabulous blogs. There were several giveaways of the book and I received some lovely responses from winners.

One of those winners, author Misty Simon reviewed Rulebreaker on her blog. Misty told me that while she’d never read F/F before she had been looking for one to try. Having someone new to the genre enjoy your story is a warm fuzzy that writers crave. Okay, maybe that’s just me, but I don’t think so : )

Anyway, I want to say thanks to Misty and to all the other folks reading my book, perhaps getting a first taste of a new genre. You all make my day!

A Little Quiet Time–Sort Of

Thank you to everyone who popped in to visit the variety of blogs during the last few weeks of the Rulebreaker Blog Tour! I’ve been getting some great feedback and have had a lot of fun interacting with readers and other writers. Some folks who hadn’t read much science fiction romance or F/F fiction have told me how much they enjoyed the story. I can’t tell you how fabulous that makes me feel.

So if you’ve read Rulebreaker, or any other story outside your normal fare, tell me what you thought.

Here, I’ll start. I recently read my first M/M, Muffled Drum by fellow Carina Press author Erastes. I’d read snippets of M/M before, but it really wasn’t my thing. But Erastes’s story touched me. There was such tenderness and heartache. Yes, there were some love scenes, but they were tasteful and poigniant.

I’ll probably read more of her work, and perhaps look for other M/M stories of similar sensuality.

In a couple of weeks, I’ll have a guest blogger here and there, but for the most part things will be a little quiet as far as all out promoting and touring. Which is good. I’m scheduled to work through the middle of September and have a manuscript to revise, another partial to tweak, and a WiP to flesh out. I’ll keep things up to date and let you know how things progress.

In the meanwhile, have fun out there and be kind to each other.

Another fun-filled week of the Rulebreaker Blog Tour is ahead! And there are prizes to be won. What kind of prizes, you ask? Well, books and maybe a gift card or two. You’ll have to drop by and see.

Monday August 22, I answer some questions posed by the lovely LVLM Leah over at Loving Venus-Loving Mars. Leah has something planned ; )

Tuesday August 23 I’ll be posting at Castles and Guns talking about Bad Girls and why we love them. Look for a giveaway there, too.

And Thursday August 25 I’ll be at Natalie Damschroder’s with a post on…something fun : ) Chance for a prize there? Could be.

Remember, if you comment at all three, your chances of winning are greatly improved.

I’ve been posting short lines of my WiP over on my Twitter feed. It’s not a regular thing, but one pops up now and again.

See you out on the Interwebs!
