Happy Birthday to the Americans With Disabilities Act

I know I suck at blogging big time(just like my tweet page) I neglect.

FOR SHAME!

But I wanted to pause and take a moment to say happy birthday to the Americans with Disabilities Act! It was signed on July 26th 1990 by George H. W. Bush.

Amendments were signed on September 25, 2009 by George W. Bush.

I work with people with disabilities and we celebrated by having a party outside with live music and a lot of food!

I hope people will look up the ADA and embrace it!

Bravo to all the people in the Disability Rights Movement who made sure the laws were created. Now it's up to us to make sure they're followed through!

I've been holding it in long enough. I subbed my story "Total Package" to http://www.cobblestone-press.com and they accepted it! They like me. They really really like me! Okay that's a bad Sally Field impersonation but I'm a writer not an actor, dammit.LOL

"Total Package" is an 16k erotic contemporary romance. I'm super excited about it and a tad overwhelmed. Any published authors who stop by please leave advice on promo, writing life and how to handle the anxiety!

Good News Acoming!

I don't have much to blog about right now but in coming weeks I'll have PLENTY to talk about so just keep reading.(You know you wanna stay tuned!)

Couple of things I've been doing:

1. I'm almost finished completing my first short paranormal story. It's a 5k story aimed at Spice Briefs.

2. I"m halfway finished with my first full length erotica currently titled The Redeemable Dog. I haven't decided who I"m going to target yet but I'll keep you posted.

3. I've decided to take the plunge and will be signing up for a Twitter account. I think it will give me a bigger following here. I have no clue about this Twitter stuff and how it work out but I figured what the hell.

Stay tuned because I'll have a special announcement on Wednesday!

Keep reading. Keep dreaming!

My Other Addiction

Writing has always been an addition of mine. Every time I think I'll quit my muse whispers in my ear, "Come back. There's work to do." When I don't listen to it it screams, "ASS IN SEAT AND WRITE!" And once again I'm a willing slave to the craft. I love the idea of creating characters and settings taking readers places they never thought possible. I've recently listened to those voices and started working on my first erotic paranormal short story! I'm super excited and it's almost done. To treat my self I've decided to talk about my other addiction: coffee.

Dark roast,mocha, cappuccino,latte, espressos,I love them all! Except for decaf of course. I think decaf is Satan answer to a perfectly good drink. The new hip craze in coffee is the single serve coffee makers. Currently, I have a Tassimo coffee maker but now it's time to upgrade it. I can't decide whether to get the newer Tassimo machine, Nescafe Dolce Gusto,Keurig,or the Flavia maker.

Tassimo-Despite what I've been reading about it, it's been reliable going two yrs strong and I'm use to the taste.

Keurig-I like the different varieties and its simple to use. Plus I've heard great things about it.

Dolce Gusto- I like the versatility of this maker and it makes ice coffee and I'm hearing good things about it. Plus it's super cute. (I'm such a girl)

Flavia-I figured anything by Mars must be good. I like that it's versatile like the DG and it too makes ice coffee. The only drawback is not a lot of favorable reviews by owners.


Do you own any of these machines? What's your thoughts? Any I should give consideration to not mentioned?

Okay enough procrastinating and back to writing.
