Stylish Blogger Award!

Wow! This was quite the surprise. Thank you K.C. Kendricks for suggesting my blog for this. Like K.C. my week has been very full.


Monday, I was a guest blogger at Jojo's Book Corner. Tuesday was my birthday, and I helped host a forum day on Coffee Time Romance for their Bringing in the New Year party bash. Check it out for a chance to win a Pandigital reader. Also on Tuesday, I learned my alter ego was nominated for one of Love Romances Cafe's Best of 2010 awards. Color me tickled.

Then today was Sweeter Romantic Notions sweet pitch day! It was a total success, so this has been a week for sure!

So for K.C., I say thank you for this!

The rules are simple:
For those who have been nominated, there are few criteria to meet:

1. Thank and link back to the person who nominated you, only do not re-nominate them.
This I can do. I don't even need a compass! 

2. Share 7 things about yourself
Okay if you insist.

1. I love the snow. Don't see it often enough to hate it. LOL
2. I owned horses for years. Love them! Wish I still had them to ride. Miss them. 
3. I will probably never stop tyring to convert my mother to an e-reader. She will be assimilated! I've already converted my BFF. I have the power! 
4. I don't watch TV. Maybe an hour a month, or a movie with the fam. I rarely even have one on.
5. I'm a Cityville addict.
6. I love pens. PENS people. Sheesh.
7. I love fireworks and laser shows.

3. Pass along this nomination to 10 recently discovered stylish and cool bloggers
This is the only thing that will disappoint. I don't forward memes, but thank you so much for adding me in this one. :)

4. Contact them and tell them about their nomination.

So that's the blog. Hope you have a great weekend. Friday is right around the corner.

Places to catch me this week

On Monday, I'll be crashing at JoJo's Book Corner. A full interview, and whatever happens ... Well, let's just say, I'm giving away a $10 gift credit to ARe. I'm doing the sharing for my birthday.

Then on Tuesday, I'll be at the Coffee Time Forums, found here for the Bring in the New Year with Coffee & Books. One lucky person is going to receive the full PDF set of the Aiza Clan Shifters series. That's all four books to enjoy and savor. And CTR is giving away a Pandigital color reader (think iPad's little brother. Just as useful and half the size.) So check out the other authors who are showcasing through February 10th and check out how you can win the reader.

So come celebrate my birthday with me. It's as good an excuse as any to stay inside and stay warm.

Celebrating my birthday next week

As part of my birthday shenanigans, I'm hosting a day at the Coffee Time Forums. There will be giveaways and other good stuff, and one lucky winner will receive the entire four book set of the Aiza Clan Shifter series. No telling what mayhem will break out.

Hope to see you there.

Tuesday, Jan 18, All Day.

Do you have items to sell? AAD wants you!

Authors After Dark is looking for vendors for its 2011 convention, August 11-14th in Philadelphia PA.

AAD is an eclectic mix of readers and authors, and I know this sounds a bit broad, but almost nothing is taboo at AAD! It is an 18+ convention, 99% women, and attendees are readers of romance, erotica, urban fantasy, scifi, and fantasy. Our attendees are interested in a wide range of products and services, and we are the only romance convention to have an in-house tattoo artist!

Are you interested in being a vendor at this up and coming event? Please contact Stella Price ASAP for info at blueflamesabove@yahoo.com and I will send the information! Space is limited, but this is our first year with a room the size of a ballroom for our vendors! Also, please ask for availability, as we only pick ONE vendor for each kind of goods (IE: one Bath and body vendor, one tattoo artist shop, one seamstress, etc) Though we do have several spots open for publisher tables still!

Please spread the word!

Stella P.
